Morning everyone, 

I was suppose to have electrochemotherapy last Friday but unfortunately it was cancelled due to a national shortage of the drug bleomycin. 

I went to see an oncologist on Tuesday and he said that they now may try a combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin which he is thinking of administering on a weekly basis as a control measure rather than a cure, but wanted to have a meeting with all the consultants and doctors that I've dealt with over the last couple of months so now have to wait for their decision until next week. 

This all started with a tiny lump around the middle of April and has now increased to nine lumps that are growing and are all visible. 

One of the consultants I saw about a month ago who was to perform the electrochemotherapy said he didn't think that an operation to remove the tumours and replace the skin from my back would heal properly due to previous radiotherapy (finished Jan 16) but prior to that my consultant who did the mastectomy didn't think this was a problem or at least didn't mention it. 

I'm really struggling to come to terms with this information and don't know what to do any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. 

Hope you are all well.
