Hello, I am new to this forum. I have been meaning to go online and chat for ages but. I have been putting it off. I don't know why. Perhaps I'm still in denial, after several years.
I was frightened when I read a leaflet about Mesothelioma and the first sentence was so scary it has stuck in my brain. For those who haven't read any info - don't!
I was diagnosed five years ago, when they gave me 18 months. I had a tube inserted for Pleural Effusion and had a course of chemo which has left me with Peripheral Neuropathy but halted the cancer. They removed the tube and the effusion cleared up. But the cancer has reappeared and is in more sites. I am now on a course of Immunotherapy every two weeks. I am feeling fine, I have more energy than I did with chemo, and fewer side effects. Hopefully I will continue to improve.
What frightens me is what happens when the treatment fails.
I need reassurance, please.
Rose Anne
