I need a pet scan prob next week then a treatment plan goes in place
I can’t believe it apparently the tumour 45mm & they treat to cure
it feels a little surreal and I’m staying strong for my children . That don’t know yet . They have said they treat to cure . I’m not even 40 yet next month
Hi Louise86
At least now you are a bit further on with what you know, but I remember how scary it was getting my diagnosis.
I was stage 2b too, and yes, they definitely will be treating with a view to cure. My consultant said that to me and I held onto those words! The petscan is the final piece of the jigsaw, and hopefully it will just confirm what they already know. My tumour was just under 4cm, and treatment can be very effective in getting rid of it.

I completely get how surreal it feels-like they are talking about someone else. It takes time for your mind to process things when you’re first diagnosed.
Yes, I’ve got 2 daughters but they are adults-I was 56 when I was diagnosed and I’m going to be 64 this month. I waited until I knew what my treatment would be before I told them, and I stressed to them both that they were treating me to cure me. It was still very hard to tell them though.

They are young, and so are you, so this must be extra hard for you.
I know we have some advice on Macmillan to help with explaining things to children-let me see if I can find it and give you the link.
