I believe it was 10 months ago I last posted.
so quick recap, diagnosed with neck/throat and lung cancer.
I’ve had 10 days radiotherapy, pick line fitted, now removed
chemotherapy then immunotherapy x3
Had a CT scan and found out immunotherapy wasn’t working and the cancer had grown a lot, also they found a crack in my spine.
So I’ve just start Paclitaxel every 3 weeks for 6 cycles, then they said there’s no more treatment unless any trails are available.
Feeling a little lost and more like a ticking time bomb than I did before.
Hello again. I remember you introducing yourself at the beginning of the year.
So sorry you’ve run out of options. It’s a crap disease and nobody seems immune. Patients and carers blighted.
You might find our group for people living with incurable cancer some help here

Mine feels like such a totally inadequate reply, but I hope you have close support round you at such a time. Hugs

Do you have a Maggie’s near you to drop into. So many people find so much help and comfort there.

Good evening, Casboy. I'm sorry to be reading this update. Hopefully, there are some trails out there that can offer some help along with the Paclitaxel, as Dani mentioned there are other groups on here that might also be able to offer advice. Nowadays there is so much research into new ways of treating cancer, bless you, and all the very best, take care.

Its sometimes not easy but its worth it !
