It is with slight nerves that i will be going to the Oncology dept tomorrow to find out what sort of cancer i have now for the 3rd time.
I have had countless appointments over the past few months and somehow feel that something more direct could have been done by now especially as this Lymph node has been on the oncology radar for the past year. Have been to Royal Brompton to have an EBUS Biopsy, which i hasten to add if the sedative does not work as it did to me, the experience is horrifying. These results i should now get.
Problem being is that the first Cancer i had in 2004, only 1% of the population have it when they are in the 6th or 7th decade. I was 37 which takes me to 0.5%. Then for it to migrate to the Aorta is another 0.5% of the original 0.5%. Now if this cancer is related then the oncology dept have said they will not know how to treat it..... This makes me very scared for the outcome.
I have been on here for a month or so to try and find comfort by chatting to people who may have gone through similar, or jst anothe voice but so far nothing much to report.
