Hello Why1,

You are currently in the worst place insomuch its the not knowing that is the killer stalking your mind.Surpisingly it becomes easier once you know exactly what you are dealing with, even if that is a positive diagnosis.

For now you do not need to imitate Ben Hur, so try to leave the chariot parked in the garage. Stress is the overload that can pull your body down at the very time you need it to be at its best. The earlier you realise you have no control on your journeys destination, only how you will travel it , the better you will manage it. If you are in any fight, why would you give any adversary any advantage?

My cancer had spread into the liver and was fast moving, but that in itself is no prophet of doom, as the start date of my journey in December 2013 attests too. All you can bring to any treatment is the best you, pysically and mentally, your skilled Cancer MDT team will provide the rest, you provide the environent to allow that the best possible chance. Embrace this from the outset and give success the best possible chance,

Take care and go gently forward.

David

Thanks so much for both of your replies, my thoughts are all over the place. I suppose that is to be expected. I had my CT scan on Friday to check for any spread, hopefully I will hear back soon.

I will take your advice David and try and go with the flow, keeping my mind busy on other things.
