Thymic cancer

Would like to chat with anyone who also has or had Thymic carcinoma which I have just been told I have. Very Rare! Struth!!  Chemo, radio, or immuno. Or what ? Meeting with medical team Friday to discuss options.. Very scary! Thought I was pretty fit!

    Hi Ardmore,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I am sure that someone who has had the same experience as you will come along to answer your question. I have had two bouts of primary breast cancer, the first diagnosed 7 years ago and the second a year later.

    I hope that all goes well with your appointment on Friday. Please let us know how you get on. Remember that there is always someone here whenever you want to talk.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi Ardmore, 

    hope your treatment went well and your still checking replies here as it’s a long time since you first posted! My sister was diagnosed with thymic carcinoma in August which shattered everyone’s world in our family, as like you say, she’s always been really fit and healthy and still so young, early 30s. She’s just finished cycle 5 of 6 chemotherapy, had 2 cisplatin and the rest carboplatin. Just wondering how your treatment went, and have you been monitored well or had to restart treatment. I’m so worried that she’s hated chemo so much if they say she needs to do another 6 cycles she’ll decline!
