I have small cell lung cancer, which i was told.at the onset, both inoperatable and incurable. I have had chemo and radiotherapy in the hope of buying me more time. I am due a scan this week after six months and see pallative care in 2 weeks. I have pain in upper back so scared its progressing. There seems no hope, my daughter just found out she is pregnant with baby due end nov. I so want to still be herebut doubt it will be possible

  • Never say never Maxxie. I was told 6-12 months & still here 2 years later or thereabouts. I’ve got fingers crossed you get to see your ne granddaughter in November Fingers crossed

  • Hi Maxxie

    The Palliative Care team is there to provide pain relief; so will be looking at how to best deal with your upper back pain.  Please do not assume Palliative Care means end of life care.

    Good luck with the scan.
