I have been diagnosed with muscle invasive cancer and it is affecting a lymph node.

I’m considered a risk from more surgery and so referred to oncology.

oncology are giving me a rest for three months before another scan and the possibility chemotherapy.

has anyone been in this place

  • Hi  . Sorry to hear it is now invasive. I was also muscle invasive although no node involvement . I had chemo followed by radiotherapy. Have they said why they are waiting so long before deciding on treatment ? Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Apparently the growth over the past month has been slow. The oncologist wishes the three months to see if the cancer grows more quickly. Then will follow chemotherapy.

  • Hello Derby74, sorry about muscle invasion but ....we love slow growth. If the oncologist is giving you a treatment holiday maybe you could spend time doing something that lifts your heart? Get yourself ft and ready for chemo ahead. Sending love H
