Has anyone any experience of cup...cancer of unknown primary?I'm in this position an wondering peoples experiences with treatment etc...any info gravely appreciated x
It can be a bit distressing to be diagnosed with Cancer of Unknown Primary and not to know where the primary cancer started. You are bound to have lots of questions about what CUP means and the types of treatment available. Our website has detailed information on cancer of unknown primary which will tell you more about what cancer of unknown primary is, the diagnosis process, the stages and types of CUP and the different treatment options. There is also a page on living with cancer of unknown primary with resources and support organisations.
I have come across many other members of our community who have been in a similar position and I hope that they will be along to share their diagnosis journey and treatment experiences with you. For example Grace-CUP posted this CUP thread a couple of months ago and Ladycroft68 also posted this thread and was looking to connect with others in a similar position. Don't hesitate to respond to these posts if you want to talk to others who have had a CUP diagnosis - it helps to talk to others who are in a similar place.
Have you been given a treatment plan yet? If you have any questions on treatment or on CUP as it can all be very confusing at times, don't hesitate to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Wishing you the best of luck for your treatment. I hope you can start it soon!
