Hi Welshlad,
I hope you find out really soon. I find waiting for results the most difficult thing.
Love Daisy
Hi so do I and was not expecting stage 4 theysay tratable but not curable
Yes the waiting. Your brain can run riot knowing there's something growing and you want it out. Try to be strong we've all been there. nothing seems to move fast enough.
I've had two doses a lung one out last October, that was following a bowel one in 03. There are a few of us had more.
I was offered the choice, Chemo' or Surgery. I opted for surgery I didn't fancy the side effects of Chemo'. I felt once it's out it's gone but that's me. Everyone to their own. Maybe if I'd opted for Chemo' the first time it wouldn't have come back. But I would still go with my choice.
I feel fine now and my normal self, just a little sore still in the surgery area but nothing really.
Good luck
Hi Jagman
I too didn’t have chemo after my first bout of lung cancer. They’ve found it’s spread to one adrenal gland and nowhere else. I’m having two lots of chemo, adrenal gland removal then two more lots of chemo. First lot of chemo tomorrow. I’m so glad they’ve sorted the treatment quite promptly.
Good luck Daisy
Hi, I hope they tell you soon and it all goes well for you. I’m a little nervous about the chemo but I’m telling myself all will be well. I think a positive mental attitude is very helpful if you can manage it.
