In Limbo.........

Sue , So sorry to hear your news. Sending a virtual cuppa and big hug. What blooming awful timing for you with your big trip.  The future looks like it's come crashing down around you at the moment but I hope  in time you will feel that you can regain some hope and joy from your life despite this blow.  Nan x 

Hi NorthernNana

I'm in the process of cancelling everything and informing family and friends. I'm awaiting a letter to send to my insurance company to make sure my "holiday" is covered. Hopefully they don't play up. Fingers crossed that it's not, well you know what I mean.

I’m so sorry that you are going through yet more difficult times. You’re in my thoughts. The unfairness of it all with holidays coming up just feels brutal and heartbreaking. I’m so sorry this has happened to you. Your family will understand and they love you and just want what’s best for you. Time to be kind to yourself and do what’s needed for you.

Hope you don’t mind me asking but will you have other friends/family to spend Christmas with? X

Hello Sue,

I feel so badly for you having this news at this particular time. This is plain unjust and I can understand you must feel at a total loss. Your family will be disappointed, however, they'll just want to see you well again. Just know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Everyone here will support you through the coming days.

love and huge hug,

Jan xx

BondGirl, I'm so sorry I confused your name.

Extra hugs!

Dear Sue I’m so sorry to hear your news. What a dreadful blow. Hearing the words treatable but not curable takes some processing. I’m jsorry you’re having to put your plans on hold but I’m sure your family will understand. Gentle hugs. You are in my thoughts and prayers xx

Thank you to all who replied,

I do have other family, so I won't be on my own thankfully. 

I was told postpone the trip and go next year when all is "clear". Then I was told I will always be "treated" in one way or another, that I'm incurable but treatable. I don't think there is ever a good time to hear news like this. I was stunned when they told me. I'd had CT scan at the end of August and by the time I saw my Oncologist I'd developed a pain on my right side, roughly where your appendix is. She decided to send more for another CT and this one came back with a slight thickening of the tube. I do consider myself fortunate that it's been caught so early and I do not know whether it's "Serous" returning or a new one. There's not enough material to do a biopsy. 

I'm in the waiting game again for a schedule etc.

Will keep you all up to date.

Love Sue xx

I'm so sorry to hear your news, Sue. Hang on to that word "treatable" and remember that everyone in the group here will be supporting you every step of the way.  We're all thinking of you and sending a big collective hug.

Hi Sue, yes mine has decided to take up home in my right lung ! Endometrial Cancer of the Womb in my lung. I was admitted to hospital on the 31st October , 2.5 litres of fluid drained off my lung. Went in for Lung biopsy on the 25th November, got my diagnosis 2nd December saw the team on the 3rd and starting 6 rounds of chemo on Tuesday. When I have finished that I will be put on hormone therapy for the rest of my life. I decided I only wanted to know if this was treatable, I don't want a prognosis or a grade or stage. Head in sand working for me at the moment ! I too am hanging on to the word treatable, that's all we can do. Like you I think I am in a state of utter shock and disbelief after going through hard treatments first time around. We can do this together and with the support of everyone here.

You take good care of yourself, and so sorry that you have had this happen to you.

Biggest of hugs,

LC

Hi sue bondgirl, sorry I'm late into this thread. I too was saddened to hear this news. What on earth is happening with this disease barging in and ruining people's plans in what should be the run up to the happiest time of the year. I mean there's so many people on this site recently that have been devastated, little critter, daloni, to name a couple but there's many more. A huge collective prayer is needed I think to put this damn disease in its place and tell it where to go. I agree that your family would only want what is best for you and will understand the reasons behind your cancellations but it is disappointing for everybody especially you because there will be no let up from it. What a horrible Christmas gift although I'm pleased your team is on the ball and they've caught it early and it can be treated. You will be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope your pain goes soon. Hugs and love coming your way. Love lamb.xx
