Having been told that I have this cancer rocked our world a bit as it was not expected, but as so many people have since said it's treatable that may or may not be the case as I've also been told by the surgeon that it is a stage 4 cancer and is likely to be spreading, I was due to have an appointment for a CT PET SCAN within two weeks but one week has passed by without notification so next week is the only week left to book it (typical NHS) I have registered with Macmillan because of the amount of information they can provide and this specific forum of course. I have found I have great trouble swallowing my daily medication and asked for an urgent face to face appointment with the pharmacist as they now know what type of cancer it is at my surgery and guess what they have sent an appointment for next month and it's only a telephone appointment NOT face to face, typical of my doctor's surgery bloody useless. I am hoping they can change my solid medications from capsules and pill to liquid medication like Oramorph etc. we will have to wait now till the conversation next month now.
