Tel. Consultation.

[Caleda4]

Hello ladies,

I hope that you are all in reasonable health,especially while this pandemic is around.

Last night I received a call from my new Oncologist,to say that there is a small tumour of 6mm on L H side at top of stomach area and a very small spot on the lung. The one in the stomach area they are fairly certain was there when I finished chemo in March 2016. She has suggested I can wait and have blood tests and scans,or zap it with carbo/taxol, or immunotherapy. The last thing I know nothing about. Anyway it was quite a long consultation,and very informative. I will get another Consultation in 6-8 weeks,and if in between I have any problems I can contact the Onc.'s secretary and She will call me.

I am feeling much more positive, as prior to this I saw the colorectal Prof. who told me that there was a lot of cancer on my omentum and that it was unlikely that chemo would work. After this news I felt there was little hope.

So moving on I consider myself lucky, & I do have time to decide which option I would like to take.

Take care & stay safe ladies. Caledaxx

Things always seem a bit better when there is a plan, even though it all might be a bit daunting.

Take care, Caleda xx

Hi Jackie,

Thank you for your reply it means a lot & I really appreciate it.

How are you now? Are you feeling any less anxious that you did.

Sending hugs, Caleda xx

You're welcome. I'm keeping busy and trying not to dwell on it too much. It's really hard to take in that one might be expendable in all this but moping about worrying never solved anything. Next week I will try again to get answers or some sort of communication with my oncology team. Probably going to make a bit of a pest of myself. Do take care. Virtual hugs.

Jackie

Hi Caleda4,

Firstly Giant hug. Just to let you know Immunatherapy is totally different to chemo it harnesses your Immune system in certain ways to fight the cancer. I am on Avastin which is an Immunatherapy drug which you may have seen mentioned on the forum, it's a relatively new drug and basically cuts the blood supply of the tumor. Hope this helps, Sue xx

Hi Sue,

Thank you so much for replying and the information about the immunotherapy that is a big help because as yet I have not been told or looked it up on Google as to what the procedure is. I have seen the Avastin mentioned before but did not realise that it came into that group.

I hope that it works for you long term & that you do not have to put up with to many side effects. xxx
