After my hubby was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer with mets, hes having immunotherapy & zometa. Had one cyberknife to brain & one radiotherapy to spine. After some awful side affects, bone pains gone & brain met as shrunk to a dot. Just waiting on his 3 monthly scan, hes had his 3rd immunotherapy today & 2nd zometa. He seems good apart from 2 stone weight loss.
Now I was put on a 2 week gynae pathway nearly 3 months ago & eventually got an appointment for 21st July! My GP isnt happy & is sending me for an urgent scan.
The pain I'm in & is just awful, trying everything from strong pain meds to heat pads, but I just feel ill. I just want to know whats going on inside me & pain relief, its even causing headaches now ( not sure if stress related) but just want pain relief. My appetite is zero, I'm nauseas, no energy & losing weight. I just hope my hubby doesnt have any side affects from todays treatment, as I honestly dont know how I'll cope.
This is my 2nd referal & I was on a wait & watch or whatever its called, but forgotten about. Then hubby was diagnosed & I put my probs to one side, as u do!
This as been one awful year for illness....lets see what my scan shows!
Hi Tillyboo that sounds like positive news for your husband but I'm sorry to read that you're in pain and now being investigated on the urgent pathway.
