Hi all
I saw my onc today, which is exactly 8 years since my original diagnosis of non small cell lung cancer. The new growth is around the tumour that has been stable for about 3 years. Fortunately it is only there and hasn’t gone to any lymph nodes. The next step is to do a ct guided biopsy to confirm it is the same cancer as before. If it is I will start on docetoxel.
Silly me didn’t ask how many rounds I will get. Is there a standard protocol for this treatment? X
Good luck with the biopsy hope the results are as good as possible
Richard
be safe, be nice, be you
Hi Mummyb, Do you have a date for your CT biopsy yet?
Love Annette x
Thanks norberry. I can’t believe I didn’t ask this obvious question. Did it work well for you?x
Hi Annette.
I was at a very late appointment on Friday so they were unable to book the biopsy. They said it will be this Thursday if they can squeeze me in, if not, the Thursday after.x
It did exactly what it said on the tin! I did follow it up at a later date with targeted radiotherapy but the chemo saved the day. I do hope you have the same results. X
Thanks Norberrry
That’s good to know. All the treatments I’ve had so far have worked pretty well for me so I’m hopeful this will too.
How often were you scanned? X
