My name is Ian and was diagnosed with cancer last December . I have a sarcoma and under treatment at a hospital in London, who have been absolutely fantastic.
Initially because of the location of the tumour I was told to expect an amputation of my left arm. They started a cause of 15 consecutive radiotherapy sessions . The outcome was fantastic and the tumour responded well, so much that I regained use of the arm and started to drive again.
After more CT and MRI scans ,the tumour had metasisied and spread into my lung, although small and causing no problems except minor breathlessness and general lack of energy, the time has come to start chemotherapy.
i have good and bad days. I do try and face it and always have positive thoughts..
i am having a chest port being fitted this Friday which makes administrating chemo alot easier with chemo to follow asap.
Like you all with cancer I am human and do get frightened.
My main goal was to get back to work which I did, and started back in April on much reduced hours but I achieved that,now it's back on the sick again with Chemotherapy on the horizon .
thanks for reading my comment.
