Treatment planning tomoz

My mum going for the planning of radio tomoz on her arm as her lung cancer has spread also in her lymph glands in the chest wall.im so nervous for her its unbelievable! Awaiting tbe results of a current chest and abdomen ct scan aswell. Theres just so much going on for her at the min we dont know if were coming or going. We have already been told she cant have radiotherapy to her lungs as shes previously had it 18 month ago, cant have the tablets and chemo isnt an option due to her poor health dont know if theres anything else for her other than pallative care? Hoping and praying that the ct scan results come through quick already been a week and that it hasnt spread anywhere else

  • Hi Emma, 

    I noticed that you said your mum will be going to discuss her treatment plan on her arm today so I just wanted to pop by and let you know we'll be thinking of you. I hope it goes well and that your mind will be put at ease after the meeting. 

    Do come back and let us know how it goes.

    All the best,

  • Hi we go for 1 intense dose of radiotherapy to her arm tomoz to hopefully kill the cancer cells in order to have an operation to help mend her arm. It has been confirmed today that there is no treatmrnt for her lungs as already had treatment on them and too far advanced. At the min our oncologist suggests that she will have 6-12 month but obviously thats not definate as everyone is different plus depends on the results of the ct scan as they havent come in yet as only been a week so still playing the horrid waiting game

  • It's good that your mum is able to have the radiotherapy so quickly and we'll have our fingers crossed that it is successful in getting all those cancer cells so she can have the operation to mend her arm. The waiting game can definitely be tough but hopefully you and your mum won't have to wait too much longer to find out the results of the ct scan.

    Keep us posted Emma, our thoughts are with you.
