It's back

fredsell profile image
26 Replies

Having been cancer free for the past 8 years, I recently had my yearly scan. Given a pet scan five days later, and a lumbar scan 2 days later the results show it's the same cancer back again. Had my first chemo yesterday and this morning got up feeling a new person. I hope this keeps on the same path two more seasons to go and then a further pet scan. COPD is on the back burner for the time being.

I have long believed that cancer responds just as much to state of mind as it does to chemo. Battle it physically and mentally. Good luck.

Hi Fredsell. I'm sorry to hear your having to battle cancer again.

The fact you feel so good after one session of chemo, may mean your response to the treatment is going to be quick and successful.

Good luck and keep up the positivity. xx

Sorry bout the cancer coming back, but glad you feeling better after your first chemo (that's great, because people usually feel worse before they feel better). Your positive disposition is obviously helping. Hope the improvement carries on and you get rid of the cancer again. All best wishes xx

Have a look at the Ty Bollinger videos called The truth about cancer a global search for a cure. It really gets you thinking. Look it up and tell us what you think.

Hi Fred

Just read your post from a few days ago. So sorry to hear the cancer has returned but hope chemo does the trick again! Have you stayed ok with chemo? I was diagnosed with lung cancer recently and am having daily radio therapy plus weekly chemo for 6.5 weeks. Feel a bit ropy most of the time.

This is my 5th session with chemo in the past 10 years. Yes I have had radio therapy 9 years back with chemo at the same time. I spoke to soon regarding this present chemo it has knocked me to hell and back, maybe its because I am 7 years older and minus a lobe?

I was given more or less the same treatment as you regarding quantity of both it worked OK for 18 months but the cancer came back. What type of cancer do you have small cell?
