Hello
After almost 8 years of fighting bowel cancer it has metastasized to my lungs but the right lung is on the pleura and I have been told that after chemo there isn't a lot more that can be done. I have been researching and have found people that have survived for years. I am wondering if anyone has any personal experience of this as would love to chat to you.
Thank you
Wendy
Hi Wendy Wendig and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your ongoing journey.
I know from experience having been on my cancer journey for over 26 years with two very rare, hard to treat types of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas (one incurable), Asbestosis and Prostate Cancer that navigating this journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but talking with and getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend that you look to join and put up your own post in our dedicated…….
Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer
…….. support groups.
These groups are safe places to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
To connect in with the group please click on the link above……. then once the group page opens you will see a [Black - Click to Join - Banner] at the bottom of the page, click in this box and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
You can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
