Just finished palliative radio

After a 2ww week before lockdown I finally got treatment end of July for Liposarcoma It's only palliative and am awaiting PET CT scan on chest etc as has now mastesised. Had a breast scare but turned out was just fluid, a cyst, no cancer spread. Operation scheduled for sarcoma removal  then cancelled as surgeons say am not well enough (8hr operation)

 

I don't know how long I have and chemo is an option for spread to lungs -which is only a few cells for now. I am not prepared to go through side effects for a few more months when could be enjoying time I have left. 
 

Radiotherapy wiped me out but now had no pain for a week after months of it. and not feeling particularly unwell. Rest when need to.

Never dreamed a visit 5 months ago to GP would end here but such is life

 


 

  • Hi Mermaid132,

    It sounds like it's been a bit of a whirlwind few months. I hope you're getting on as OK as you can be at the moment - it's good to hear you have started treatment. I hope you can find out everything soon in terms of your options.

    Please know we're here for support whenever you need it, or even if you just want to write things down in a safe space.

    Take care and all the best,
