Hi all,

I have recently been diagnosed with lung, neck and liver cancer.  I have had my meeting with my consultant today and he has said I have to go and have my biopsy next week and then will be treated by way of immuno and chemotherapy.  Obviously my mind was racing and I didn’t know what to ask, but he did say that my cancer was not curable but was treatable and manageable and that I should have a good quality of life.  What does this actually mean?  I don’t want to know how long I have because I don’t want to live to a timetable, but does it mean it will be controlled by regular check ups and treatment when necessary?   Apologies - I really should have asked, but is anybody in a similar position able to give me the benefit of their experience?
