will this be my last Christmas

My bone cancer has now moved to the liver. Spots found on scan so ultra sound done and this week I've had a liver biopsy.  All seems like its happening very quickly.  Im very excited about Christmas and looking forward to it but wondered if it will be my last.

  • Hi Harry,

    I hope this won't be your last Christmas, but enjoy it just in case it is!
    This is my third "last" Christmas since I was diagnosed - I'm beginning to feel like a bit of a fraud!

    Cheers!

  • Hi Harry - I have had secondary cancer in the liver for 3-1/2yrs now, plus brain, shoulder, abdominal nodes and like my lovely friend Dave - I am now on my 4th last Christmas lol  !!!!!!   Who knows - ill or not, whether this Christmas will be our last?

    Please try not to dwell on your prognosis too much - believe me, I know that it is easier said than done. However, try to understand that you are LIVING with cancer, and not dying with cancer.

    Have a great time   -  what are your plans??

  • Hi Max, your post has given me some hope for my mum who was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer on the 18th November. I feel like my world has fell apart and my mum feels like she is going to die today it's awful. She was told without chemo she would have 4-6 weeks but with 6-12months. She started chemo on weds with cisplatin and gemticabine and has been admitted today with a high temp suspected infection and is hardly awake we are so worried. You post has given us a glimmer of hope thank you
