I feel I've been given another chance.
My tumour has reduction in size. 2cms in all 3 measurements. It's a kind of huge avocado shape. I am extremely hyper at the moment.
No counselling, just a year of fear, but now, new hope, so please anyone out there.
5 out of 8 chemos. Radiotherapy actually made it 5%larger, after 26/40 sessions.
When it was cancelled, of course I thought I was nearing the end. The side effects have been horrendous. As you all know, but now I have hope again. I'm here to chat if anyone needs me, Posh Paws
Hi @postpaws
I remember all too well the oncologist telling my wife "the only thing we can offer is chemotherapy and that is often not effective" - but when we tried it is shrank her tumors.
Keep the good news going and thanks for letting us know.
We are six years of living with cancer - not out.

Hi - I was just watching a TV programme and they were talking about a little charity called dudes & dogs. Too many men need some big girl pants too.
I know I had the feeling of loss of the life we expected and sometimes it can help just to sit back and recognize that feeling - a bit of a step back and think well this is rubbish.
One of the things we discussed once was "why me" and "it is not fair" - well it is worth noting sometimes it is ok not to be ok, it is also ok to think - but tomorrow will be another opportunity.
<<hugs>>
