    What Now -very true
    I have recently had a further scan on the instructions of my Oncologist. I have been dreading chemo , but to my utter surprise the cancer has not progressed and he proposes no further ction for 3 months. I am also seeing a Urologist and althought he should agree he might consider removing the offending nodule and repair the hernia which I was left with after my nephrectomy. I do wonder if this will stir things up and will be interested in anybody else is a similar position

    First radiotherapy tomorrow.....
    Well last week i had all my radiotherapy planning done, scans, simulator and tattooing, so now tomorow afternoon i am to have my first radiotherapy session.

    Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to the site and I'm a 23 year old receptionist. I had a vulvectomy last week to treat vulval cancer and am now recovering at home. I'm due to get my final results on Friday so fingers crossed! I am keen to speak to anyone who has been through this operation or similar and to find out what life has been like afterwards, as I have quite a few concerns x

    Hi all
    Hi everyone, thought I'd finally join in as my percentages took a nose dive yesterday from 2 yrs to 4 months, aparently even though my bowel and liver are now clear, the masses in my lungs have snuck up past the 1cm mark and have been counted. Still don't feel ill at all yet (apart from chemo sideaffects that is) so am looking on the bright side, and living each day to the full. Hopefully, in the next day or so will recount some ideas on all benefits that can be collected, as most websites only...

    I was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and had a mastectomy. Since then I have been very tearful and emotional at times. I was very lucky as it was caught early and radiotherpy and cheom were not needed. I just have to take letrozol for 5 years. I feel that I really should be on top of the world and not be tearful as I am and have been very lucky not to have to go through further treatment. It would be lovely to hear from anyone who has been through a similar situation and is emotional...
