My husband has been told the exact same as you. Not treatable, CT scan and bloods every 3 months. It’s very worrying in the run up to the scans. However you do need to try and eat. I have made sure that my husband has the ensure drinks for when he is not eating because like you he gets scared. It’s a horrible situation to be in I hope you have someone there who is supporting you.
thank you for your reply I live on my own I do have a son who is a great help but i can't always get in touch with him he works full time. I'm still able to work full-time so normally i would be at work during the day and it helps to take my mind off things but then i go home and then I'm on my own and start thinking about everything. being of work for the holidays hasn't helped i try to keep my self occupied but I yust gets very over whelming and i start getting panic attacks. I'm sorry to have gone on so much
