Finally a consultant appt and op date

Less than one minute read time.

After being he would have his op within 2 to 3 weeks because it is a rare aggressive cancer that spreads fast, we finally have a date to see the consultant, 4 weeks after being diagnosed. with an op a few days later. Misdiagnosis is common apparently because it is so rare. He has already had CT scan which was clear, MRI and Bone showed a small blip, which could be scar tissue or the SSS as i have named it. depending on what they find will determine treatment. What we do know is that he will have to be scanned every 3 months as this SSS likes to spread especially to the lungs. How am i feeling, angry, helpless, humbled by family, friends and work colleages who have been tremendous, and as a utter control freak, very frustrated. roll on wednesday

    Hi

    The anger is a natural reaction, quickly followed by disbelief, denial and a million and one other emotions.  It's true that you find the people who really care when something like this happens and don't be afraid to lean on others to help you through because your Dad will need you to be strong.

    Sending you strength and hugs.

    Much love,

    Nin xxxx
