Hi Rob, so sorry you find yourself in the forum. It's a good place for advice and support though.

I've recently completed treatment for OC. You can read about my journey by clicking on my name and looking through my journal of events. It may help but I didn't have your other complications.

Just stay positive and patient. Be assured the medical teams are all looking to do their very best and get you well again as soon as they can. There are going to be periods of waiting while tests are done and results analysed. It's a very difficult time. Good luck to you and I hope you get some news very soon.

Best regards

Geo.

Hi Geo

Thanks for the support much appreciated had meeting with surgeon yesterday 19/2 he said he is not comfortable to go down the surgery route because of my aortic stenosis but is waiting for the MDT meeting on Wed 21/2 to discuss with cardiology and the others. At the moment got the bike test booked for Friday but the way the surgeon was talking he's looking at cancelling that as he thinks it would put to much stain on my heart.

I guess all i can doo is sit and wait  and see what they come up with i am sure i will find eventually 

All the best with you recovery

Hi Rob, my family are going through a similar situation to yourself so I am sorry to read your story so far. My father was diagnosed with suspicions of cancer in late Dec, seemingly out of nowhere, but we found out the full extent of it over a month later at the start of Feb, which was very difficult news to take on, as it is for everyone going through it. The waiting is very hard and we are still waiting for the full MDT results. However, after prodding and putting a little bit of pressure on the nurses by my parents, he saw the oncology team who have confirmed he'll start chemo whilst the full treatment plan is discussed. I think my father's greatest move in this horrible game was to get in touch with his GP in the meantime for support and she was excellent and made him feel mentally more together, whlst also speaking to his nurse by ringing every day to get something (anything!) started. The waiting really is the torturous part but I believe it is finding areas you can progress in to gain some feeling of control whilst you wait for things otherwise out of your hands. This forum has also been a very helpful resource, including the 'Chat to a nurse' tool. Best of luck to you.

Hi Rob

We are just waiting to meet the oncologist to discuss treatment plan.
