Gone sideways :( Initially given good news when treatment ended but MDT have decided otherwise. Has this happened to anyone else?

Gone sideways. Initially told based on end of treatment scan and previous results that A(B)VD had gone "exceptionally" well and t re is only a "tiny spot" on my chest they want to treat with radiotherapy. MDT have decided otherwise and now have to have a biopsy to investigate. Spoke to CNS and need to see Consultant next week who will explain possible treatment. When I pushed implication as this could be further chemo . Not happy as you can imagine, has anyone had a similar experience?

  • I'm sorry to hear what has happened huttonshonley.

    This must be very worrying, and a tad frustrating too, but hopefully once you've had the biopsy and spoken to your consultant you'll have some much needed answers and peace of mind.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences and advice with you soon, but if it would help to have a quick chat about this with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to answer your questions and support you whilst you wait.

    We're sending you all our support as well huttonshonley and will have our fingers crossed for good news. 

    Kind regards,
