On Friday I am due to have my last palliative chemo session for stage 4 cancer which has spread to my lymph nodes, bones, and lungs. I am now waiting for the results of my scans to see how well the treatment has worked.
I had a review with my oncologist today and as always she has left me feeling like I have no hope.
I was told that after the chemo I will not be given anymore treatment unless my pain and symptoms return. I understand that the chemo was only intended to shrink the tumours enough to control my symptoms but I was in so much pain before starting treatment that I am finding it hard to accept that now I have to sit and waite for the cancer to make me ill again before anything else will be done.
I have been really positive throughout my treatment apart from one little blip last year and the wonderful people on this forum helped pick me up. Am hoping that you will be able to work your magic again.
