Hi all
I am just over a year out from having a larangectomy and a second surgery unfortunately this cancer is aggressive and I had a biopsy to see I could have immunotherapy unfortunately came back I can’t have it I was told I may be able to have palliative chemotherapy but will be two weeks on Tuesday and still no appointment made for me or contacted I am so worried as I don’t know how quick or slow it’s spreading and feel like they give up on me and feel so let down by them I feel sad also I am just 60 I have 6 children and 15 grandchildren and was clear for five years I have come out of there not knowing how long I have and so numb and confused
Try to stay strong. Pester them to find out what is happening. Difficult I know but sometimes I think they deal with it on a daily basis so it becomes norm for them. 6 months ago my husband was told by a MacMillan nurse to go home and get his house in order. Had only just met him on ward so had no idea how he would take it. Sending hugsx
Hi there
Thankyou I can try and see if can find out anything it’s awful when this happens like you’re husband and not fair at all and I know there is no empathy and I do think same because they are used to it I will get someone to call as can’t talk and hopefully they will answer Addis not last week thank you again so scary
