Hi guys
was wondering if any others on here were fighting this fking horrible condition
i was told last october that i had it, and its been a horrible journey since ,all of december and jan was spent having chemo , 5 days on and two weeks to recover that was hell on earth,everything you have ever heard about it is true,after that i was in for the first tumour to be removed at which piont i was told it has spread to my lymph glands
Am now waiting to go back in on the 18th june to have my lynph glands removed ! i have been told this is not good and will effect me for the rest of my life (how ever long that is).
it wasnt until i was told that i realized just how widespread it is ,now nearly everyone i speak to knows someone or is related to someone who has it. WTF !
so i was wondering if anyone else was going through this aswell ?

WELL!!! been to see my consultant today and the op is off!
tha cancer has spread to my pelvis,so no point in removing the lymph glands in my groin ,so have been told we are going to try more chemo and radiotherapy, dont know much about radiotherapy does it kill the cancer cells or just shrink them ?
He also said if it doesnt work it will be unoperable after the radiotherapy because of the damage it does !!!.fk
