Sorry to hear of your setback Malc and it's completely understandable your outlook has taken a hit but know that we're all rooting for you and everyone else in the same circumstances.
Hopefully this time they can find a chemo course that's more suitable for you.3 -
Stay positive.
Years ago my body couldn't cope with the mix of chemotherapy drugs they started with so they changed to radiotherapy.
That didn't work fully, so they started me on a different set of drugs that did work.
As i recall, the curious thing is that the oncologist didn't think my body would cope with the second set which is the reason he didn't start with them.
So maybe your body will cope better too.
Wishing you all the best.9 -
Oh Malc 😔

Please, please feel free to message me if you need to have a good old vent.

Creon. To @Bedsaddick and anyone else on here who may have been prescribed creon, a drug that produces enzymes normally produced naturally by the pancreas. I'm sure, like me, you are aware of the shortage of this drug atm. My pharmacist has told me it could continue until the New Year but alternatives drugs can be prescribed. However my GP surgery is being really awkward in refusing to prescribe any despite my specialist nurse saying GP's have been issued guidance on what to do.
I was wondering on other people's experience and alternative drugs being prescribed and by whom.1 -
Sorry to read that Malc.
I hope this week's meeting with the oncologist brings better news.2 -
Oh Malc so sorry to hear your news, hope you get to see the oncologist soon, we are both thinking of you and wishing you and Mrs Malc strength and fortitude.2

What a desperate situation to be put in….The Big C has so many ways to make life nigh on unbearable for so many sufferers and their families.
I wish you all the very best Red in your ongoing battle.🤞3 -

Just a brief update, firstly thank you to everyone who has sent best wishes in your comments.
Sadly, the earliest there is an appointment for me to see the oncologist is 9th August, nearly 3 weeks away. Until then I've been told to increase my pain killers, as required, cant seem to get a break at the moment, fuck it!0 -
Thats so awful for you Redmidland.
Having gone through, and continue to go through a period of uncertainty with my blood cancer diagnosis I know all to well how it can affect your mental health nevermind physical.
Fingers crossed for a some positive news when it finally gets around to your appointment.0 -
redmidland its so depressing not knowing what is going on . Trying to keep up.with events is so frustrating it seems to take 3 weeks to get a scan result and i often feel i am just left hanging in the wind and it not only effects your mental health but your family too. Hang on in there0

Hello all. A brief update, my MH over the last 7 days has taken a pounding. I've gone back into my shell, not been outside the home, apart from the garden. The thoughts 'buzzing ' around my head were not great, I just felt as though I wasn't being told the whole story.
This morning I received a letter from my surgeon, a copy of one sent to my GP. In the letter it explains that the CT scans shows my cancer hasn't spread elsewhere or to vital organs, but the MRI scan showed the original tumour has grown in situ.
Therefore, they wish to discuss a new chemo treatment for me, followed by surgery if the chemo works.
This, being in writing, has lifted some my anxiety and helped to 'jolt' my MH back from the downward spiral it was on.
I'm now feeling a little more positive after last week's news that had me in turmoil for the few days.
I can now hope, again, that I will be rid of this awful disease in the future.
Live, Love, Laugh and Be Happy xx
