I have a bad news - I went to hospital yesterday for admission before surgery and my surgeon told me that my last PET/CT scan shows that my cancer spread to bones and surgery isn’t option anymore. I lost my last chance to get rid of cancer and for the second time I was sent home to die and referred back to team who already told me that I haven’t another options left - no chemo,no immunotherapy,no surgery - I’m a bit in a shock ,but I still alive and I still fighting. 
I’m thankful for all the ladies who gave me explanation what this surgery is about and how they survived ,but this option isn’t anymore for me.

    I am devastated for you-this is awful news for you to absorb. If you cannot have any more kind of treatment, then you will be under palliative care at home so you will need to get all the help you can from them.

    I’m so, so sorry-we we were all thinking about you yesterday and hoping you had got through surgery. We will all be so sad for you that it wasn’t possible but you were very brave to try. Sending you soft hugs and strength to go on.

  • Hi I’m so sorry to hear your bad news. This must be so hard for you. If you ever want a chat please do. 

  • Oh Elza, I'm sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you x x

  • I slowly recovering from shock and I can deal with idea that there is nothing left to treat my cancer,but I would love to find a way how to stop my heavy bleedings permanently- that causing me necessary stress and if cancer itself gonna kill me slowly - bleedings can kill me in half an hour. 
    If my team can find opportunities how to stop it that’s all I asking .

  • Thank you Lola20

  • Thank you - may be it’s for a best that it didn’t happen and if surgeon couldn’t take out all cancer - I would die anyway and very soon .

    if I haven’t any more options left I can accept it ,but I have to find a way how to stop my heavy bleedings forever - they can kill me faster than cancer .

    i had a hope,but it’s gone.

  • I really hope you can still have discussions with your doctors, even though the surgery was not possible. It must be so scary to have such heavy bleeding. It just makes everything even worse for you, and I can’t even imagine how difficult all of this is.
