Post Treatment Scan Results

Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I hope your husband can get timely treatment. It’s not a cure but there have been some good results with immunotherapy. There are also trials with immuno/ combination treatments. I have a friend in such a trial at the Marsden and a contact who is well on Nivolumab after five years. Keep us updated on his progress if you feel up to it. So fingers crossed for you both. 

Oh dear am so sorry to read this. I too have a friend whose cancer has gone to lung he’s on immunotherapy at the moment and is really well. It’s not a cure but helping him continue living. 
All I can send us hugs. 
Hazel

Thanks for your reply Beesuit.  We can only hope that the immunotherapy treatment keeps it at bay, (starts Monday 30/10) and in the meantime live each day fully without panicking about the future.  

Thanks Hazel for your reply.  At least with the head and neck cancer we hoped for a good outcome.  This is even more frightening.  And my poor hubby, having to go through the first treatment was bad enough.  As I said to Beesuit, we can only live one day at a time and make the most of things as and when we can. He starts immunotherapy next Monday.

Everythjng crossed for immunotherapy.Yes live each day as it comes it’s the right attitude to have.cancers so cruel. Hugs Hazel x

I saw your reply in the lung group. What immuno is he on? 

So very sorry to read this news, I do hope you both continue strong, a day at a time, thoughts are with you both x

Thanks so much xx

He will be on Pembrolizumab

So sorry to read your post. This is not the news anyone wants. In my case I thought I was done with cancer, 5 years clear in 2019, get on with retirement, hurray! Then the pandemic. Then a new tongue tumour last year, so surgery for that. CT scan identified lung tumour too, so major surgery to remove half my lung. I felt totally wrecked, and in a lot of pain. Still, I slowly got over it, built up my strength again, only to be diagnosed earlier this year with throat cancer, so had laser surgery to remove that. As far as my consultants know, I am currently cancer free, but I have some osteoradionecrosis in my mouth which isn’t great. Just living each day as best I can, trying to eat enough, which I find difficult, but thankful that each time the cancer was caught early and was treatable.  You and your husband will be stronger than you ever thought possible, good luck on the next stage of your journey.
