Hi.
I have my MDT meeting next Thursday, as had huge 19cm fibroid removed, which was cancerous and spread a bit to my right lung.
no idea what treatment, if any, I will get, and just so scared of chemotherapy as that is an option. I’ve just been told that they won’t rush any treatment until they know exactly what they are dealing with, as have small nodules in other parts of my lung.
There isn’t anything recent on the secondary lung cancer forum, so just thought I’d say it on this one., as the primary source was a fibroid sarcoma
Has anyone else has treatment for lung mets?
thank you

Hi Rambo
thank you , your situation seemed quite similar, although my lung mets were picked up before I had the hysterectomy. I’m just waiting to see what the next stage is. Glad you are in the clear now. That’s amazing.
Yes, we are all different, but I’m hoping i can be treated and in a similar situation as you, eventually.

Jane hi
Hi rambo
Thank you. Yes, I understand, it’s not exactly in the clear, as I understand it never really leaves your mind. Saying in the clear, seems too definite, but I understand what you mean.
Hi Jane,
My wife Janice has had two lots of chemotherapy for her lung mets and the second one managed to render her Leiomyosarcoma as stable - a situation we have been living with now for over six years. Glad you have been referred to the sarcoma unit at Southampton. Fairly familiar with the hospital as my mum was there for over six months after she fell and broke her hip. If you have the time it might be worth checking out the Maggies centre at the hospital while you are there.
<<hugs>>

Hi Southampton is a nice part of the country. My husband went to Southampton Uni and if we came back to the UK we would have wanted to locate in Southampton. If OK with you let me know how it goes on Thursday. I feel very lucky I am here today and would like to share anything I can to help. I also like your photo enjoy a glass of wine. xxx
Hi Jane. I'm glad to have found you again! I'm sorry that you're still waiting to find out what treatment they will give you. I'm seeing the sarcoma team at the Christie on Tuesday, I've literally been counting down the days. On my referral letter it states that there is lymphovascular space invasion which is really worrying me. Please let me know how things progress and take care. Deb
Hi Deb
I had to delete my act and start again. I think we are friends on here?
yea, my appt is Thursday at Southampton. Dreading it, but also need to know what’s next.
I’m glad you have your appt too, this week. How did you see your referral letter, Ive seen nothing?
I think I’d rather not see it. I don’t know what that means, I hope it’s ok a d you find it all out on Tuesday. Let me know how it goes. Take care and try not to worry, easier said than done
good luck tomorrow
