Hi All, my partner had his 3 monthly scan results yesterday from oncologist, well there is good and bad news, the good news is that the immunotherapy is still keeping his bone cancer stable and the bad news is that the primary lung cancer has grown from 3.5cm to 5.5cm so that means his treatment has stopped working for his lung cancer, the oncologist did say maybe he can ask a radiotherapist if it is possible if sean can have targeted radiotherapy to that one part of his lung where the primary cancer is, the oncologist did ask one of the best radiotherapist this question and the answer was no, so the O/C is going to ask another top radiotherapist the same question today if it is possible. sorry if this don't make sense but to honest nothing does anymore
On Wednesday 22/2 i at to do a 999 call out for an Ambulance due to partner being in so much pain in his lower back and all down his right leg, the chemo nurse thought it might be a nerve compression as partner could not pass urine and has lost his mobility. The hospital said it is not a compressed spinal cord nerve that is causing the pain , but unfortunately it is the cancer in his spine which is now effecting his L4 and L5 disc . partner is booked in to have 13 sessions of radiotherapy on the 28th of this month for his primary lung cancer, but we have to wait until tomorrow to see if partner can have radiotherapy on his spine to get his mobility back.
Thanks Netty
Internet I cannot start to imagine what you are going through, but my heart goes out to you.
Do you think you will benefit from talking to a support worker at Macmillan. It is completely confidential and it is a free call number 0808 808 00 00.
I have heard from people on the site that have had good results with radiotherapy for pain relief, and has helped with mobility, so I really hope this goes well for him. X
