Lilac Rose - have been diagnosed with three brain tumours, one on my lung and in various other places. Have an appointment on Thursday to discuss treatment

Hello Everybody

This is my first posting after a whirlwind of settling in to this journey since 4 September when I was diagnosed with three brain tumours as well as one in my lung and as well as various other places.

To date I have had no treatment but have a file of cancelled appointments, only one of which I had to cancel myself.

This is disappointing as my condition day by day deteriorates a little more.

I have an appointment at the hospital this Thursday to discuss treatments which they have indicated they want me to have.

I am hoping I am well enough to get ready to make this fifty mile journey by ambulance on this day

Reading this valuable blog I am somewhat shocked to read of so many different cancers people are enduring at this time.

I am also surprised that treatments for brain cancer is the same as what my late husband had just over twenty years ago.

Lastly, not least, I wish every single one of you lightness and love and the strength to persevere on your journeys.

  • Hello MrsPositive and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm so sorry to hear about the various tumours you've been diagnosed with and that you haven't had any treatment yet. This must be incredibly frustrating but I'm glad to see your appointment to discuss what treatment you'll be having is almost here and I really do hope you're able to attend the hospital tomorrow to find out more.

    We do have some information about brain cancer treatment on our website but if you would like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and support you on this journey.

    I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you right now but I hope you can take some strength, and comfort, from knowing that we are here for you MrsPositive and we will be by your side every step of the way.

    Kind regards,
