He came back...for the third time.

I am 69 years old. About two months ago, I was informed that it had returned to visit.

The truth is that I don't have the strength to deal with it.

In 2007, I had colon cancer. I underwent surgery and chemotherapy that really made me want to commit suicide.

In 2022, it came back again and settled on my kidney. I had a nephrectomy.

Now I have lung cancer. The truth is that I am already quite apathetic about it, just worrying about my family.

I haven't told anyone yet.

After reading in depth about cancer treatment studies,

I decided that I want to participate in a clinical immunotherapy study

I would love to hear an opinion... or a link to a clinical trial,

because since they informed me on the phone that I have cancer, they haven't contacted me despite the messages I leave.

thanks

  • Welcome to the forum Jokar although I'm so sorry to hear your cancer has returned yet again.

    Having faced cancer twice already, I can only begin to imagine how you must have felt when you received this news for a third time but I hope it helps to know that a lot of our members have found themselves in this position too, so you are not alone Jokar, especially with how you are feeling at the moment, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice. 

    As you already know, embarking on a cancer journey is very tough but it's always much easier with friends and family at your side so when you feel ready to do so, make sure you reach out to your loved ones as I'm sure they will want to do all they can to support you through this once more.

    Many of our members have found counselling and the services provided by the cancer charity Maggie's to be really helpful too, but if you would prefer to just talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. Our nurses will do all they can to help, and they'll be able to give you further information and advice about clinical trials as well.

    We're here for you Jokar and sending all our strength and support your way.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
