Hi, I'm new here and really sorry if I'm in the wrong place, I'm learning the ropes. Please let me know if needs be.

I've completed my profile but briefly, diagnosed November 2023 with radiotherapy induced Angiosarcoma, incurable, inoperable. I'm having Chemo, Paclitaxel but been advised that there is only a 20% chance it will shrink/stabilise the tumour. Although there has been some discussion there is some shrinkage, it is not determined as I haven't yet had a scan. I've had 9 rounds of Chemo up to now and I've another 4 to go this cycle.

I'm here to chat to like minded people, I believe the best people who can truly sympathise/empathise are those that have suffered the same. Today is a lazy day for me, reading my book, watching TV, playing playstation and sleeping no doubt. Whatever you may be doing, enjoy!

Hello MarieT Yes, you are in the rightplace, unfortunately. We are all incurable but treatable with different cancers. But all on the same journey. Together we laugh, moan and cry. Some even have poetic talents! We all get where each are at more than, sometimes, our families and friends as much as we love them. As Ulls has said, you can join the Chit Chat thread were you find someone who has or may know about you diagnosis. I have NSCLC.

Hi Marie,

Well that must have been a terrible shock to find out the cancer you have was caused by the treatment for the cancer you had! What an awful thing to happen. I have heard that radiotherapy can cause cancer as can all the scans but haven’t heard of it happening so thought the risk was minimal. Well you’re here now and crap though that is, it’s a lovely bunch of people here and you’ll get lots of support. I do hope that the Paclitaxel shrinks the tumour so will keep it all crossed .
