Treatment discontinued - no longer working

More radiotherapy for bone secondaries as they are getting more and more painful

No trials available for me

Consultant assures me he has other ideas.

Stuck shielding in dreary london without seeing friends, family

No hugs

Sending a very big virtual hug. I know only too well how awful it is not seeing friends or family...I haven’t seen a person ( other than on Skype,TV or walking past house) since 27th December. X

I hope the radiotherapy is done soon and gives you relief from some of the pain.Did the Consultant say what ideas he has and when so you can focus on a new treatment plan at least?

Do you have any family or friends that you can go into a support bubble with? Human contact is something we all need but especially when dealing with serious health problems, we need extra love and hugs.

Sending you huge virtual hugs and prayers that your Consultant starts a new treatment soon xxx

Pretty much the same here, except no ideas for me! Just palliative care. I have brain secondaries for which I had radiotherapy back in December. I talk to the brain oncologist on Thursday but not sure what that’s for.Trying to just get by day to day here

Take care

I had brain scan last week which was clear. I keep being advised to increase my morphine though. I hope to be kept going until I can get to my house in Portugal and die there.
