Hi I am 50 years of age, the bottom line is I want to live. I have 2 children, 23, and 26 and a lovely husband. Until last week I had not even been unwell. I suffered a seizure, I am a non smoker. Tests advised I am likely to have primary in the Right Lung, also CA in the left lung and left side of ther brain. I am not wishing to bury my head in the sand I know this is going to be a tough ride but still wish to live. I wish to be given all and every change of survival and treatment , I dont care how slim the chances are, I do not wish any treatment to be declined by medics. the only thing I agree to is no to resusciate if in a permanent state of vegetation.

This is not being negative, I wish to live and need advise on how best to ensure that option is always offered. My family understand this but are struggling with the situation, emotion means logic can go out of the window. I have LPA in place but do not consider this meets my requirements at all.

 

I have arranged to see a healer and a homeopath this week, I intend to throw any thing and everything at this to Live!

 

any advise, information, inspiration, words of wisom greatfully recieved. I am prepared to fly to the moon if need be.

 

My thought and prayers are with all of you on this site. Dont worry be happy. xxxx

 

  • Hi

    have you had your genes tested? You may be able to get some of the new drugs if you are positive for certain ones. Start investigating treatment options and trials now so you're informed. Be prepared to ask challenge and seek a second opinion if you need it.

    as well as this site take a look at macmillans lung cancer forum - there are some seriously well informed people on there currently living with cancer. community.macmillan.org.uk/.../discussions

     

    i hope it goes well for you - you certainly have the right positive attitude! 

     

  • And you can discuss a dnr order with your gp/oncologist now and state you don't want it on your file. Maybe ask your Macmillan nurse for advice on this issue x
