I have an appointment at Clatterbridge next Wednesday to see the Oncology doctor; the surgeon at Liverpool Heart and Lung
basically told me the cancer is in my chest wall and attached to ribs, there is also a 4cm swelling under in my left side; he basiclly told me its inoperable and that the oncologist will
set up a programme for traetment. I guess this is the standard one fits all Chemo! I am concerned about after effects like Sickness and
Weakness /fastigue; I am also worried about my good cells being got rid of by chemo never to return ; so I end up just sitting in a chair until
I pass away. Cant find any posts on chemo for my chest wall cancer; i am worried in case any chemo does not work but I am left in a chair with no energy etc
awaiting the grim reaper.
Cheers
