Hi Kym
first of all welcome to the group no one wants to be a part of. Definitely lots of support here. When I got my diagnosis I was prepared to hear I had cancer, was prepared to hear I needed treatment. I was not prepared to hear stage four or incurable and watch wait and see I stage four seems counterintuitive. Also to hear they are treating e as palliative because there is no cure. This is my third cancer so I was prepared for almost anything except for what I got.
Mad for knowing how much time I know the stats but every persons biology is different so know one can possibly know or be able to accurately tell you how much time you have. I’m looking at this as I will be the first person in history to beat this. Do you mind if I ask what kind of cancer you have I was diagnosed with Mantle Cell lymphoma which typically hits males over 60 not women especially woman 45years old. I never fit into their stupid boxes. I’m seeing a specialist at a specialized cancer centre actually it’s one of
the top five cancer centres in the world. So hopefully I will get some treatment options. But they can hold off until after my wedding August 3.
Hi Denisa

Hi Kim I am sorry I was bit negative but that's how I felt.I am a kind of person I need to know and to get organized.
Anyway I had my lung biopsy results today and it's not a secondary or metastatic cancer but a new primary lung cancer.I don't know from where because I never smoked or drink alcohol but might me a effect of radiotherapy or chemo I had.
So I don't know if I should laugh or cry because the doctor in June misdiagnosed me for metastatic cancer. I was offered immunotherapy or just oral chemo and surgery.So if this a case I will go for it.
