I have been told today I have a 38mm NET tumour which has spread to surrounding lymph nodes and to four places in liver. This was an incidental finding and I’m so shocked as I don’t have any symptoms and feel fine.  I’m being transferred from the hospital that diagnosed me to another hospital for treatment. All I can think about is my 6 year old rescue dog. It has taken me 2 years to make him feel safe and settled and the thought that he may lose me is unbearable. I lost my partner to a sudden death recently and with no other family or friends how will I cope. My partner always drove so now I have to contend with driving over an hour each way to hospital and leaving my dog for hours on end. 

  • Sorry you find yourself in this position.  When.i was 1st diagnosed my concern was what would happen if we needed to leave a lovely boy  whilst we were attending appointments.   We mentioned to our Macmillan nurse our concern and she provided us with someone contact numbers  (sorry I have misplaced them).  We live in.the north east of England area and there is an organisation called Daft as a brush travel that helps people attend appointments.   You could mention to your cancer nurse to see if there is a equivalent in your area.  Best wishes Michael Heart️
