  • Tough and inevitably life changing as it is, surgery offers the best chance of beating this horrible disease. Not everyone is eligible for it. If you’ve been offered the option then I would grab it with both hands. That’s what I did. Now nearly two years post-op.

  • Hi Alba1. Sorry to hear you are going through a tough time at the moment. None of it is easy but my honest answer to you regarding surgery (and based on my own experience) is to do it. I had my operation October 2023 and made a good recovery. Wishing you well in whatever decision you make. Take care of yourself, Julie 

  • I was hoping to have surgery at The Royal Marsden in London but they told me because my tumour is 11 cm there would only be a 20% chance of it being successful, so that was a no go.
