Hi peeps
As discussed above, I have been diagnosed with secondary cancer and just wondered if there is anyone on here that is in a similar position please? I am due to see the oncologist on the 10/7. I really do not want any further chemo as it caused heart failure and I don’t want the immunotherapy. To be honest I will be declining any treatment now and will be opting for a more natural path.
My questions are;
1. I have considerable pain in my breast as they have found cancer in there and my lymph nodes. I have had 2 previous lumpectomy’s and 10 lymph nodes removed. They couldn’t get the clear margins and advised a third operation was needed but I declined. I am ready to have a mastectomy now due to the pain I am in but my consultant said she wants me to have a conversation with the oncologist first before she will perform the mastectomy. Has anyone else had a mastectomy when secondary cancer has been found?
Also has anyone had reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy in my same position?
2. Consultant said I will only have months to live if I decline any treatment. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I’m struggling to believe it will be months!!
3. Has anyone retired on ill health with a similar prognosis? I work for Bradford LA and wondered if I would be eligible for this?? Also do you think I would be eligible for Tier 1. Is anyone already in receipt of this?
lots of questions. So happy to be able to ask this of people who are in a similar position. Thank you in advance x
