Hi thanks for adding me, I was diagnosed last July, 3 rounds of chemo helped a lot but was told my tumour in my right lung is growing again.

I was offerred a trial at Christies in Manchester, and started the tests for base lines to start from, I  head and body scan yesterday, this has shown 'something' in the centre of my brain,I am petrified, have to have a mri to determine what it is and cannot drive anymore :(  am in panic mode at the moment and my mind is in overdrive  I hope I can still have the trial but I suspect whatever was found yesterday wil not respeond to the trial drugs.

 

  • Hello ann7256,

    Welcome to our forum.

    I’m sorry to hear you were diagnosed with cancer last July but I’m glad you’ve been offered a trial at Christies in Manchester and already started going for the tests.

    I can appreciate why you are petrified ann7256, but try not to let panic take over, I know it is easier said than done but getting into a panic usually only makes matters worse.

    Other members on Cancer Chat are in a similar situation and I'm sure some of them will pop by soon to say hello and offer their support.

    If you feel like speaking to someone on the phone feel free to call our cancer nurses on this telephone number: 0808 800 4040, they are available Mon-Fri 9am-5pm.

    As you go along do come back if you have a minute and let us know how you’re getting on, we’ll be thinking of you.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
