STage 4 cancer

Hi JJam

I'm sorry to read that you have recently been diagnosed with another tumour especially as it sounds like you've been through so much already.

I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that you hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be more easily spotted.

Hi JJam,

Aww bless you I know how you feel only to well. I was diagnosed June 2019 with Stage 4 lung cancer, which had metasised to my stomach, bones, above my Adrenal Gland (above my kidney, didn't even know what that was) 

I had one round of chemo to be told it had spread into my liver. The Ongoligist changed to a different type of chemo and i also had some radiothreapy, my treatment ended Jan 2020 and for my last 6 scans, I've been stable. 

I'm rescanned next month and will get my results November 3rd, I'm dreading it but trying to think postive thoughts. Your treatment do you know how many cycles of chemo you have to have? My tumor like you couldn't be removed either, sucks doesn't it! 

What I'm trying to say is for you to remain positive If you ever need to chat, if youve any questions, I'm here for you. Sending you lots and lots of happy vibes. Love Julie xxx️

Thankyou so much for your reply that's so kind of you xx

Thankyou so much just trying to get on with the chemo at the min i had a picc lone fitted the other day so hooefully no more trying to find veins xx

Hiya, Sorry for my late reply, 16-19 chemo, bless you  I'll be keeping everything crossed for your xx ♀️️xx

Hi, I had a PICC line fitted, how are you finding it? My arm took quite a bit of getting used to, I was so frightened of pulling it out. It was soooooooo nice to not have needles in my arm, unfortunately after the second time of going to the hospital to have it clean, they had to remove as the PICC had moved and my body was pushing it out. Tbh I think the nurse putting it in wasn't very good, she was training I think, kept asking lots of questions. SORRY I've probably made you paranoid, that yours is gonna move. Just wanted to say they do become more comfortable. Have you bought a waterproof bag for when showering? I gota good one off Amazon. Xxx 

Thankyou so much this is my fourth line of treatment now xx
