Hello. I am not sure where to post this but I wanted to share our news with you. You may have seen other posts from me beforehand where I felt totally lost after being told by our Oncologist that my husbands cancer was no longer treatable with chemo. It was the end of the road and we would be monitored moving forward but no more could be done. After telling our family and friends it was the most awful time as I know many of you understand. However, in the meantime I wanted answers from the Liver Surgeon who was saying there was no chance of operating. An operation to remove the cancer in the liver was always the only option but they felt it was too risky. I wanted to see him and ask him so much as I did not want to lose my husband without doing whatever we could. To cut a long story short, we did meet the Liver Surgeon and after telling him we wanted to try anything, everything, however risky as we were not ready to give up he explained that they have a certain amount of boundaries to look at before they come to their decision. But after meeting us they were willing to push these boundaries. Surgery was done in November and today we have been told we are "cancer free". I know this is not the case for everyone but if just one more person asks more questions, gets seen face to face and gets given a chance - take it. Cancer has taken my brother and mother in law over the past few years and I fought to not let it take my husband. Thank you
Hi,
Can I just say as someone who has been told my cancer is inoperable and not curable well done you.
You should be so proud of yourself.

Thanks JoeyB,
I had small bowel cancer stage 3 roughly 10 years ago now when I was 58. Had a right hemi colectomy followed by adjuvant chemo. They were looking too cure at that point. So I can’t really complain I’ve had 10 fantastic years lived them to the full. I have saw 5 granddaughters born and was at the birth of one right after my chemo finished, and have saw 4 of them grow up we lost one at the beginning of covid.
Unfortunately some cancer cells clearly got out and lay dormant and returned hence my current diagnosis. I was diagnosed end of August after Ct scan relating to something else.
From May I had been attending my GP for hip Pain and was being treated for arthritis lol.
I haven’t started chemo yet think the oncologist has been playing the waiting game to how it was behaving before starting to allow me to continue with great quality of life which I have at the moment I’ve not really any major symptoms.
Think treatment will be starting in March.

Hi,
You never know you could very well be in a good place for a long long time.
My cancer was pretty bad all those years ago and statistically the 5 year survival rate was 40% 10 years in I'm still here so my motto is onwards and upwards️. Good luck to you and your husband on your journey and keep us updated.

Thank you so much for this inspirational post. It gives us all the incentive to ask questions
Your husband is young and probably fit enough to have the surgery I remember when I was diagnosed the doctor performing the endoscopy said looking at me
“if you were old and frail we would just take the top off but as your fit and slim we will throw everything we got at you “
I was stunned but up for it
Make sure you celebrate this wonderful news
Take care
Ann
