Hi thought I would let you know how I'm doing. Finished radio and chemo June 18 .been fairly well but over the past few weeks I've been suffering from a bad back and trouble breathing. .ended up at the hospital for a x-ray .turned out I had fluid on my lung Lots about 5 litres. Had a scan to be told my cancer is bad in my lung .liver spine and ribs I'm absolutely gutted .they are having meeting on Tuesday to see what can be done to prolong my life .this is a nightmare I have 3 daughter 22 .18 .15 I'm 45 
My heart goes out to you Lisamarie, reading the first part was bad enough as I suffered from pulmonary oedema myself in 1994 so I know how bad that is but then the rest, so sad.
I truly hope your team can come up with a plan to keep you around for many years, wishing you all the best and sending a virtual hug; will honestly be thinking about you on Tuesday, I've put you on the calendar over my desk so I don't forget.
This bloody thing leaves me speechless at times in its cruelty.
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.
So sorry to hear this news Lisamarie , it saddens me as like others have said we have followed your journey on here, all I can do is wish you all the best for Tuesday hoping they can come up with a plan of treatment that will help in some way , I will be thinking and praying for you my friend . All my love to you and your lovely family ,hugs (( )) on there way .

Oh, Lisamarie
