Hi been a while since I was on here, just feeling as if I need someone to talk to.... I had surgery on the 1st September to remove a tumour in my bowel, 6 weeks later was told by the consultant they had got it all, you can imagine my relief. I also have a tumour in my kidney, which they were going to look at next.... Had a scan at the beginning of November for the kidney, and they called me to tell me the colorectal cancer was back... Next an appointment with the oncologist who explained to me that it had spread and they were going to start me on immunotherapy ..... I asked the question we all want to know in these situations, and they told me I possibly had 3 years.... they are not going to touch the kidney as immunotherapy is apparently effective against renal cancer.... The oncologist told me this is just to give me a better quality of life, that it was palliative care. I do not hold anything against the consultant who told me they had got it all, after all who can tell with 100% accuracy .... trying to keep my pecker up, but it is hard some days, my wife is a rock, and I try to stay strong for her, making light of what is going on, but it is hard.... I don't know where I am going with this, just need to vent a bit I think, sorry folks...
