2 Biopsies n Still no Diagnosis

Hi

2 biopsies taken, cancer present but no specific diagnosis.

im tearing my hair out, tumour was on my mums spine, had to have spine decompression and fusion proceedure, she going through rehabilitation but now has numbness in her legs which is due to degradation of her spine due to the cancer. 

We haven’t even started cancer treatment and I’m already frustrated with the lack of progress on treating the cancer.

has anyone or someone they care for been treated for CUP?  
thanks

  • Susan, I'm so sorry to hear about your mum.

    This must be an incredibly difficult time for you both, but hopefully some of our members who have been treated for, or have experience with a cancer of unknown primary will stop by when they can to share their experiences and advice.

    I can see you have made a post about your mum's situation in our nurses section of the forum as well. They will get back to you as soon as they can, but if you'd prefer to talk things through with them, they are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to support you at this time.

    I really do hope the primary cancer can be found and I am wishing you and your mum all the very best on this journey.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
