Oh Little Critter, I'm so sorry to read your post. I really don't know what to say. Sending you lots of love.

Sending you lots of hugs and kind thoughts. You know that everyone here will support you in every way that we can. Xxx

Stuff tonight, open it now and get to enjoying it! I feel like a takeaway is in order too. Something tasty and comforting, and perhaps even a second bottle. Why not eh? 

I wouldn't write yourself off quite yet, there are plenty of folks over in the incurable group who have been given a terminal diagnosis and date of departure, but are years past their sell by date. Random medicines work, new treatments pop up, hail Mary trials suddenly do wonders, and so on. 

So take today and go FFS, moan, wail, anything you need to - even the weekend if you need it. Then when you're ready, you'll be able to pick yourself up and crack on with the next step, the next medication, and whatever comes with it.

And of course, you've all of us here cheering you on and doing what we can to help and support you however we can.

You've got this!

Oh no  , that's a big pile of poop news you have been given. Remain hopeful is important the hormone therapy may work for you. I am hoping the drain will help you breathe so much more comfortably. Thank you for the update I am just sorry to hear it wasn't the news that you had hoped for, but I am crossing my fingers that the thoracic doctor can make you have some comfort at least with your breathing.

Sending you a big huge hug

Enjoy that bottle of red! 

Oh thank you everyone for your replies.  Must admit Lass you made me laugh probably for the first time today, I hope I'm not past my sell by date yet  I shall weep and wail and gently stamp my foot over the weekend and then try and get my head together.  Wines open ladies.

Thank you all

Good good, I was aiming for a smile but overshooting and getting a laugh is even better! ;)

Call it a diva strop weekend and really just go for it, fabulously! You've def earned it!

I'm going to crack open a beer and toast to your good health!

So sorry to hear this.. I'm not a doctor but have they told you why you cannot have surgery??  I asked for surgery because I had read it was very effective. the oncologist spoke of the risk of surgery etc however in my case the tumor had been removed via biopsy and I didn't know when I asked and when my husband asked what happens if it came back again what then he said treatment and or more surgery.  Take care Dawn xx

Yes  Chickpic they told me last November.  The tumour is 6.4 cm X 4cm so quite large. The tumour is sitting in the middle of my breast bone, it is touching the main artery in my heart on the left hand side, although it is actually in my right lung if you can imagine it ? I also have 2 lymph nodes in my chest that also have cancer in them. The first thing I asked was if they could operate, the 2nd was RT  they can do neither I'm afraid . Thank you for your reply, I do wish they could operate .

So sorry to hear this. Did you have any idea it might be endometrial cancer in your lung? It seems so sudden. I thought it was usually quite slow growing. I hope the hormone therapy will be effective. Thinking of you at a difficult time.

Hi nightingale.  I had been fine til the beginning of October last year, thought I had a bug/virus  a bit breathless to start off with,  and just really not feeling 100% ? Went to see my GP nothing I could put my finger on, but sore throat ( that was the fluid in my lung btw) and a bit of a temp. The rest is history really, they thoughtyou lung had collapsed. If only ! It had grown very fast I'm afraid. A matter of weeks. I hope the hormone therapy works, fingers crossed.

 Thank you,
