Diagnosed a 2nd spread- referred to Oncology

Hi there

Sorry to hear your cancer is in your adrenal gland. 
When my relative saw the oncologist with this he was fairly hopeful the chemo would help this and even said it was preferable to a major organ metastasis. He was put on Immunotherapy and Oxapaltine chemp quickly within a couple of weeks after his appt! 
I hope you get seen quickly 

all the best 

I’m so sorry you have more uncertainty Jennie. I can’t help with medical advice but just want to send positive thoughts and good wishes to you. There are many positive examples here of successful further treatments.

Good Morning 

Thank you for your reply’s, I have an appointment with the oncologist who I have seen before when originally diagnosed. I am aiming to put together my questions for him. I will update when I know more  

I hope you have had a good Christmas, the best gift for us cancer crusaders is ….. Time 

Hello

Thanks for your reply, I hopeful this will be the plan for me, I am not looking forward to the chemo again, who is/does but I am holding onto threads that it surely cannot be worse then the FLOT that I had. Oxy I have had before, not a nice one with its dislike with the cold..

My original diagnosis was esophagus, blasted and removed, less than a year later spread to the adrenal which they removed, now a year later spread to the para aortic nodes. 
Hope for control and more time..

What regime is your relatives treatment and how are the side effects?

Best wishes 

Jennie

Hi Jennie,

So sorry that you are still having to continue the fight, especially since, if I remember correctly, your post-op histology was so good. I am booked in for a CT scan on 7th Jan as I have been having a few issues lately myself. Keeping my fingers crossed for NED but it’s hard not to worry that it might be the alternative… I am sure you will approach whatever course of treatment lies ahead with your usual pragmatism and positivity. Best wishes and, I hope, a happy new year to you. CB

Hi CB hope you've had a good Christmas. I'm really sorry to hear that you're having issues again as you've been doing so well. Do you mind me asking what sort of problems you're currently having?

Hi Anthony,

I’m experiencing chest tightness and breathlessness. Also some pain in right shoulder. 

Hi guys reason for my urgent ct scan was I didn't feel right, feels like left arm has been given a right back, so cb hope we are both being too over cautious,  and we'll hear NED again, thinking of you, know you will handle the anxiety better than me, but that its still crap. 

Take care and keep us updated x

Left arm like a dead arm feeling, predictive text dammit
