Recent diagnosis already advenced

So sorry to hear your news

It must be devastating for you and such a shock out of the blue!

There are people here whose cancer has recurred who are having chemotherapy and or immunotherapy. These are options you can discuss with your medical team. Ask them if your husband is eligible for a trial. There are some immunotherapy trials in progress 

Macmillan do offer counselling which would help  have you been out in touch with a cancer nurse attached to your team?

You could look here too

I really hope you can find something to help. 

Thankyou so much for replying 

I've looked at immunotherapy and am praying he can have this 

Chemotherapy won't be able to happen due to underlying health problems(liver disease) 

Bella. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Hi Bella

sorry to see this news, no experience of this type.  Please take a notepad with you to your meeting - write any questions down before, as you think of them, and write the answers as they are given to you because you will forget some of what they say otherwise.

let us know how you get on but come on here any time with questions or just for support

Thankyou it's just so hard 

A million things running around our heads 

Have started a list of questions for the consultant 

Hi Bella .cant add much to what others have said already, apart from when  you are speaking to consultants don’t leave until you are clear in your own  mind with what they are saying Don’t let them brow beat you, hope you have either a c n s nurse if a Macmillann nurse in with you. 

Best wishes keep in touch Hazel x

We have a lovely nurse who's been in all the appointments so far 

I'm going to ask about immunotherapies and CBD oil I'll literally try anything 

We are still reeling at the moment as only been a few days since we were told no treatment 

What we don't have is a timeline and not sure we want one 

I feel for every one of you going through this I really do as I know I've never felt like this before 

It's good to know there's somewhere to go to chat 

So thankyou all xx

Bella, Come and chat or rant any time you need to. I can understand about the timeline. I have always thought that it wasn't in a doctor's gift and anything would just be a guess. I would want to know what was the likely progression but the rest? ........no, I don't think so. That's just me though 

Bella.  Sorry to read the news about your husband.  My husband had surgery for recurrent cancer late july and following this he has been told that his cancer is now incurable and will return.  I found lots of useful information specifically for him by ringing the Macmillan cancer nurse helpline.  It helped with possible questions when dealing with consultants, info on different trials, types of drugs etc.  Saved hours of research.  I think the Macmillan Nurse helpline is open on Sundays to so you could possibly get some info before you go Monday.

Best Wishes
