need some hope

had more bad news last week. The Liver surgeon thinks I am inoperable, leaving me with only one other potential option, if I am a viable candidate, which is SIRT. I have asked for a second opinion from Dr Rees in Basingstoke and have to have an MRI to see what he thinks. Seeing the oncology team at the Hammersmith who deal with SIRT on the 4th.

Haven't told mum yet. My cousins and some friends know. This is just getting so hard. Thinking I may not even see my 30th birthday is just so scary. Had plans to hit Vegas with some friends and none of it seems possible right now. Have cancelled my Jan ski trip, too much yet too little going on all at the same time.

I'm hitting a wall right now. Don't know how to stay positive anymore. Just can't seem to stop crying when I'm alone. I just want to be better.

I'm very sorry to hear of your troubles. Its very hard to tell someone, where you are right now to stay optimistic, but I will tell you that there are many on here who have been where you are and much worse, who somehow have managed all manner of miracles.

Take a few minutes each day to just quietly contemplate and "mock up" how you would like things to go, from the miraculous to the acceptable and everything in between. Then do what you can to back it up with actions needed. I will be doing the same for you in my little corner of the world.

So my postulate for you is that, in fact there is a viable plan to get this thing licked!

Cyber hugs coming over to you from me!

So sorry that you've had this bad news. Just remember that when you are alone and having a cry that I'm giving you a big hug. I hope that you get some good news on the 4th. In the meantime I will be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed that you get the SIRT treatment.

Take care Michy

I really don't know what to say, but i understand how you feel and mean about hitting a wall and the crying when alone, been there and still go there from time to time, keep your chin up and i know its hard but the positive attitude will kick in and you will become strong again -

you take care of yourself

thinking of you

good luck for the 4th
