Been for scan results and they have found another bit. They don't no if it's always been there and dye has just picked it up or ifs it's new and the medication I'm on its not working on it. I've had blood test to measure cancer level and it's drastically gone up then I will be put om new medication.  I feel numb i don't no what to think i just want cry cry cry  is this the start of the end my head is in a swirl x

  • Bev. they have said if levels have gone up, then you will a new medication.

    Another wait afraid, yes your mind will be in a whirl, you have to go along, with what they may recommend,.

    Try not to make yourself ill  with worry, yes easier said than done, big girl pants pulled up, and go one day at a time.

    Try to keep a little busy so mind is occupied if you can.

    Keep us updated.

    1. Hi ellie .yes they said a different tablets I would have if levels are up  I'll take anything that's offered. I just feel so defleated. And like you say another wait but hopefully I will find out the end of the week he said he would be in touch x
  • Hi Bev   As my oncologist said not the news they were hoping for. You sound like you have the right attitude and are made of stern stuff. Easy for me to say dont panic but it's a natural reaction given news like this. I have a 8.5 cm tumour on my liver no big deal non  cancerous , happy days , Opps a few weeks later oh it is cancerous and in your lungs also . Hey ho out of my hands but they are quite happy offering me treatment. Bev I get stronger with the more aliments I over come and reading some of the amazing stories here of people being given months to live and still here 10 years later. I think how lucky I am being treated as a mate pointed out they can't afford to let me die with the amount of money they have spent on me. I hope you get the result and treatment you need  XX  All the Best Minmax 

  • Oh minmax what an ordeal. Took them 8 long months to diagnose me mine to is liver  gave me 6/12 months to live 2 yrs ago . This is the 1st scan I've had were I've had bad news all others ive been stable so it's knocked  me for 6. But tomorrow we get up dust ourselves down  were allowed the off day is what I'm trying to tell myself . I hope your OK in yourself xx

  • Bev These things are out of our hands and You are proof that we can and Will fight on regardless of what we are up against ,No Surrender I say . You have to laugh at these things sometimes , Bad enough being told you have a huge tumour but then to find out you have another one , so now have pairs of tumours x 3  . Just as well I have a sense of humour. Yes I am grand in myself and Thank you for asking. Try not tto worry , I would cook you dinner if you were here X All the Best Minmax  

  • I am sorry to hear this and hope you get clarity, and if necessary a new treatment plan soon. Uncertainty is awful. Bad news is awful. I know I am writing what’s obvious but sometimes just letting out how shit it all is helps. All the best. 

  • Hi Bev, I am so sorry you have had this news but when I read on I realised you have more options for treatment IF your levels have gone up. Bad news is when they say they have no further options for you, so grab this new treatment, whatever it is with both hands and “you can do this”! We are all here to help!

  • Hi Hilo13, It sounds to me that you ARE good with words. What you wrote was just what was needed! I agree with you!

    Love Annette x
