Well tomorrow is the day for the appointment with my oncologist . I have taken some good advice here and I believe these appointments are actually quite short ‘10 to 15 mins or so . I will bring a notebook and will come armed with some questions but not sure what ones yet . I will walk the mile and half to the hospital and back for therapeutic reason I think and then take stock of it . I am not going to go into the prognosis but will be happy to talk about everything else . My wife will be with me which will be good and I am really hoping I can become more focused from tomorrow instead of living in this surreal , make believe life that’s going on at the moment . From what I have been reading from you guys it’s me that will take the lead on what treatment I should go for . My family home is always a very happy one but there is tension in it now at times and I have to try and help that .

Good luck Philw! Fine that your wife can be with you. I am sending lots of good vibes too
Hi Philw
Hope it goes well tomorrow, and you get some answers and a clear way forward! And a treatment plan that you feel comfortable with. The worst bit, the waiting, is nearly over!
All the best
