I’ve had gynae for years and had multiple surgical operations. Now consultant says my option is palliative chemo.  I think it means it’s incurable and I’m worried.

  • Please can someone reply to me because I’m scared about what’s going to happen.  Anyone else on palliative chemo??

  • Hi ,

    Sorry your post has been unanswered for a long time. 

    I am sorry you are going through this and I appreciate how scary this must be for you. I have not had palliative chemo, but wanted to suggest that you may like to give the Macmillan support line a call on  0808 808 00 00. There will be a trained professional that you will be able to speak to and ask any questions you may have. I have also found my specialist nurse to be helpful in explaining things to me and answering any questions I have, so if you have a specialist nurse it may be worth making contact with them. 


    I hope someone is able to offer you the advice and support you need, but in the meantime I am happy to talk if you want someone to talk to.

    Take care,
