I was called into my GP yesterday afternoon - with my wife, always a bad sign, I'd imagine! - to be told that I have an infiltrating metastatic carcinoma under my right arm. They do not now where the primary cancer is and I'm having a scan on Wednesday evening. (Bloods and poo being tested ATM.) I know next to nothing about what I have or what any treatment might be. I would be grateful if anyone can share any relevant experience relevant experience.

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Jon although I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

    This must have been very difficult news to receive but our community are here for you, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of our members stop by to offer their support and share any relevant experiences and advice they may have.

    It may also be worth giving our team of cancer nurses a call as they may be able to tell you more about your diagnosis, so if you'd like to speak with them, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to help you at this time.

    We're thinking of you Jon and wishing you all the very best with your scan next week.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
