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 

  • Hopefully pat . I’ve been watching a lot of American people with stage 4 of sorts one is literally doing a triathlon soon . She’s on her sell by date and is probably under 40 like me with kids she’s quite inspiring really 

  • Real stories about real people are the gold standard.

    Others are going through the same thing, and most all are too embarrassed/shy to ask others.

  • Yes . There hard to find mind . The self healing ones are annoying . 

  • The biopsy wasn’t so bad . Didn’t feel it really . I’ve been laid down all day which has been a bundle of fun haha . And I’m still starving the sandwich crisps and apple never cut it lol . Although the nurses did offer to order McDonald’s as they was having it haha but as I’m in a health kick I politely declined haha . Now the waiting game commences 

  • Great! I know what you mean about the nurses not eating healthily. Over here it's quite common to see all the nurses duck behind the hospitals and have all their cigarettes... 

    Hard to take someone's opinions on health who preaches one thing and then does another. I service, among other places, medical offices, and everybody knows which doctors smoke. One of them is a young guy in an office full of pulmonologists! 

    Go figure.

  • So they fudged the biopsy so I now have to have another. To say I’m angry is an understatement right now x

  • I’m very sorry to hear this. I hope they make another date for you very soon.

  • How on earth?! I'm sorry this has happened to you, Kyle. I completely understand feeling angry at other people's incompetence at the moment! Do you know when your next biopsy will be yet?

  • Man, exactly what happened to me a few weeks ago. They had to install a software upgrade to the CT (I can explain if you really care) that allowed it to scan differently, and the first APRN that tried didn't know. CT-assisted aspirations are fascinating...

    I hope only the best!

  • Thank you I hope today goes well . Good luck
