Hi there and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately as we aren't directly involved in any patients care we can't advise about treatment or give a medical opinion.

It is however worth exploring getting a second opinion just to confirm what your specialist has said.

Often there are guidelines that patients must match in order to be eligible for a particular treatment which may be the reason for your oncologist decision. If it is down to funding then there may be the option of going down the private route, which you have mentioned yourself.

I wish you all the very best and hope you are able to get the right treatment for you.

Take care

Naomi
