A cancer status update

[Llynn]

December and January have flown by with no contact with my cancer docs. Next Thursday I do have an appointment with the surgeon. Hopefully he will check for new tumors. Since he has told me there is no treatment other than major organ removal I don't expect any good news. I wish he could give me an estimate of how much time I have left.

Is that a possibility on your next visit?

For sure, your doc will check for new tumors. Organ removal was the only treatment for advanced tumors. S/He'll have options with new ones: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and surgery.

Wishing you the best, Llynn!

Hoping the best for you!

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Wishing you the best also.
I’m not sure what else to say.
Hopefully you get some good news.

Hoping there will be some answers Thursday. It seems the doctors would be more empathetic for those who wait. I believe I can handle the worst news better than no news.

Best wishes for good news! Prayers sent

There's a lot of people rooting for you. Hopefully when you get back from the doctor you will have some encouraging news.

It seems that one important aspect of overcoming cancer is having supportive people around you. It is much better that you share than keep it to yourself. And we are all supportive and wishing you the best possible outcome. Please continue to share and keep us updated.

@Llynn I don't think I've seen your threads before now. I am in Games more than the other areas. With that said, if it's not too late:

The update you shared is very concerning. I hope you get very good news on Thursday and answers you seek.

There isn't much I can say, because I am not in your shoes, and can't share your pain except here on the forum with your supporters.

Please know that I will keep you in my thoughts and say prayers for you. Till the next time.

Wishing you the best @Llynn

Wishing you the best and praying.

 

[Teacher Terry]

That’s so stressful and I hope your doctor has options when you see him. Wishing you the best.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Hoping the news is much better than you expect and that your options are feasible for you. Thank you for keeping us updated Lynn.

I hope things keep getting better for you. One of my favorite philosophers Nietzsche said that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

You’ll be okay in the end, and we’ll be here with you the whole time. Hopefully next time we hear from you, it’ll be good news.

Hopefully the news will be favorable, but it may help to keep in mind that surgeons mainly think in terms of surgery. If the news isn't good, it wouldn't hurt to call the National Cancer Institute and talk with them about immunotherapy trials. It is showing the most promising results. Your body has the ability to fight cancer, but it doesn't recognize it. If the cells are trained, they are a formidable force.
