We found out in September that Pat's cancer had spread into his lymph system, 2 scans later we were told it's in his liver and lung, 3 scans later we are still waiting to find out details of any treatment! It's such a slow process. Now he's scheduled for a liver biopsy on Wednesday to give the oncologist more info about the extent of the cancer before he decides on a treatment. In the meantime he's had weeks of bad left shoulder pain which we have been told may be referred pain. As a paraplegic he's finding this very difficult.
We know treatment won't cure his cancer but it would feel better if we were at least trying some treatment to slow the spread.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
