Sorry not to have posted for a few days. A great deal has happened. I have had m y 5 sessions of Radio Therapy. No problems at all. Just waiting for my hair to fall out!! I can honestly say it wasn't too bad. Wearing the mask was fine - white mesh one without any holes for mouth or anything but wasn't uncomfortable.
I have seen two more doctors who now say I have tumours in my lungs as well. I have asked about any treatment - operations etc. and they say nothing would work. I even have a couple more melanomas on my leg that they say it's not worth going through anothe operation. Haven't even got another appointment fo 8 weeks. Also I have no symptoms whatsoever apart from my left hand being numb.
It finally hit home when my GP told me he was applying for a grant for me - do nothing - just collect the money and when I looked it is for terminally ill people who are not expected to live longer than 6 months. SO first ambition get as much money from the government as possible. 6 months is only a number - not taking any notice of that. Anyway I am 65 at the end of August and I want a party.
Well, will keep you up to date.
Take care
Love Gill x
