So today’s the day I’m finally diagnosed. It will be nice to finally know what it is and what my plan is . Although my anxiety is going through the roof (pending doom ). I do hope that afterwards that my mind may calm down . I’ve been searching the site for peoples stories with stage 4 with Mets but there isn’t many to read (thankfully ) . I do still kind of hope that my self made diagnosis from the ct scan is extremely wrong . But that is highly doubtful. I do hope that with immunotherapy I can lead some sort of life for at least a few years . I just hope it’s not to late for me
Hi Kyle
This does sound like better news than you were dreading, and they are doing their very best by getting you seen by one of the top hospitals. Is this going to be a lot of extra travelling, or are you living near Guys?
If you do need immunotherapy first, it is usually given at a treatment clinic, every 2 or 3 weeks, which isn't too bad to manage. And I presume it can be done at your nearest treatment clinic.
I hope you don't have to wait long to get more specific plans in place.
Stay strong!
Hugs
Kate
Hi Kate , thanks for the message . Yes although it was still dreadful news it was still better than I was expecting. I live in Kent pretty much the bottom part (dungeness ) but still it’s not to far . As for the immunotherapy yes that will be more local although still an hours drive . All a small price to pay right now mind id probably drive to your remote island at the drop of a hat . Ideally I’d like to whip it straight out but they know best so I’ll do as they wish x
It sounds like they are getting things moving. I hope this gives you some hope and that the action taken had a positive effect.
Sending good vibes.
No bad medical news is good, but isn't it better to know? Now you know where you stand, and what today's science can do for you.
Best, you can now mentally cope better than when you knew nothing and expected the worst. This will let you make clear-headed plans moving forward.
All positive!
pat :-)
How are you doing!? I've not been on in a while as I've myself into a pickle with too many silly thoughts! Therefore decided not to keep reading! But a little bit better...
still waiting on my appointment for removal, the longer it's there the worse it is
