Hi Armygirl I’m sorry to hear how anxious you’re feeling, but completely understand. I had my first 3month post chemo scan on 17th, and my appointment isn’t until 5th September! I’ve been trying to keep busy. I’m a volunteer, and even went into work today. I’ve been cooking a lot too, so at least I’m not going hungry. I know that Wednesday can’t come soon enough for you. I’m not going to tell you everything will be fine, as it’s empty words. Do look after yourself and let us know how you get on once you’ve had time to process whatever news you get. 

Thanks , it’s my first appointment with them after being told my chemo radiotherapy hasn’t worked and it spread to the liver. 

Oh I’m so sorry. I can only imagine how devastating it must be. I think I was lucky. My tumour shrank and I had surgery in 2019. Unfortunately, mine had already spread to the liver like you. I only found out last year. I had a liver resection and am now having chemo. I know it’s easier said than done, but try to hold on to the fact that they’ve found it. I realise the thought of more treatment is awful, but it might not be as bad as you fear. I’ll keep checking in with you to see how you’re doing. I’m going to phone my hospital tomorrow, as I can’t wait another week to find out what’s next. Sending you a big virtual hug.

Hi Armygirl 

I think they might actually move forward to the treatment proposal Armygirl and as a family we always found that gave a bit of structure around it . The first meeting is stressful as it’s full of unknowns but one you get through that and meet the team you start to become more familiar with the process and for us it actually became a bit of a safety net . 
We are here with you each step of the way and remembered the helpline staff are there to chat when it gets overwhelming. 0808 808 0000

Take care ,

Morning! I was thinking about you earlier. Just wondering if you’re taking someone with you tomorrow? If you weren’t, but can, I’d say do! I have gone alone armed with a notebook and questions each appointment, and have come away not remembering what was said, and without asking most of my questions. You’re probably not as ditzy as I am at times, but just wanted to say. Wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow. I hope you can keep busy today.

Thank you
