Not all bad news

Hello all,

I've made a few posts recently that are somewhat negative. Its not all bad news though, life could be worse.

My Wife is facing her battles, as am I, her trusty supporter. One thing I should mention is a thing called Methylation. I don't trully understand what it is. When we first received the cancer diagnosis a Methylation score of 75 was mention, this score is very high, apparently. The higher the number, the better response to treatment, we were told. We both hope this will help my Wife fight the darned cancer for longer.

Any advice about Methylation would be really useful, keep it simple I'm an electrician (carer now really) not a doctor.

Keep the faith one and all.

  • Hello Tony, 

    It's great to hear from you and that it's not all bad news. I am so pleased to see that you seem to be in good spirits and your wife is lucky to have such caring support by her side. I am myself unable to tell you more about methylation as this is not my area of expertise but I have moved your thread to our Ask the Nurses topic area and one of our nurses will respond to you in the next few days and will hopefully enlighten you on this concept.

    Very best wishes to you and your wife. I hope she is doing well at the moment and that she responds well to treatment.
