Cancer

So on a pre radio scan they found a suspicious lymph node. Referred for a PET scan which found suspicious tissue in the breast and a definite Cancer in lymph node. Also found thank god no sign of spread. So full mastectomy on one breast and more lymph nodes removal on the 30th.

 

She is seeing the positive in the no sign of spread. 

Best of luck for her Ted. I think from my experience if they get the surrounding lymph nodes and they are clear, it is supposed to be a very good measure of no spread, supposedly it's incredible rare for it to "jump" past nodes, so if the surrounding ones are good it's great news.

16 year old lad from back home broke his leg playing football last year and developed a rare form of cancer during the healing process. Died yesterday, an absolute freak tragedy 

16? That is beyond awful.

So my stepdaughter had a pre radiotherapy scan on Monday as she was expecting to begin finishing treatment. Had the horrible news there are signs of cancer in her armpit. And they're 99% sure on her liver. She went for an emergency full body scan on Thursday. Blood tests on Friday to see if she's suitable for immunotherapy. We see the oncologist tomorrow. 

 

On Wednesday and Thursday I don't remember ever feeling as anxious and depressed. When my dad died I was in bits but I also know that's the way of life, your parents die before you.

 

She has an 8 year old. Whilst we don't know it's the worst news I do know its very very bad.

 

I then had a row with my boss on Wednesday. Took the day off after we got a call Tuesday evening with the news. I rang her to say I'd work from home the next few days. She told me I was needed in the office as we were low on managers. I told her I was needed with my family as my stepdaughter doesn't drive and I provide lifts. She told me again I had to come in the office. I then rang her boss. She apologised the next day saying it wasn't like her and she was going to apologise anyway. Problem is she'd spoke to me that morning, been arsey with me and only called to apologise after her boss had bollocked her.

 

It's tough because I need to try and be strong for my Mrs and I know others are feeling it but at moment my heads in bits.

 

More news tomorrow afternoon. And yes I will be working from home.

Sounds like you’re going through a really horrible time. 
 

All I have here is just to wish your stepdaughter, you, and all your family the very best. 
 

You are in my thoughts. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fucking hell, that's rough Ted.  There's not a lot we can do to help, but if it gets too much being the strong one who has to hold it together, you know you can come here and shout at us cunts.

Ah mate that's tough, well  in though for showing your boss up to be a right twat. Thoughts with you all mate.

[Creator Supreme]

@littletedwest Thoughts with you and your family mate. Stay strong and we're all hoping for better news for your stepdaughter.

[Harry's Lad]

My thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family Ted.

 

[littletedwest]

So been told its now incurable also been told there is a lesion on her lung. Guess we sort of knew it was incurable. So we find out next week on whether she can have immunotherapy and what sort of chemo to slow it down.

[Pidge]

Really sorry to hear that mate, what a twat of a disease.

[Harry's Lad]

Gutted to hear this mate. What an absolute bastard.

Shit news mate. Let's hope they can slow it right down.

 

My Dad's pancreatic cancer is in remission. 2 years ago they gave him 6-18 months. In his last scan they've spotted a couple of points of concern on a lung but no more than that just yet. 

 

I've got an auntie in Arrowe Park hospital who's badly with leukaemia. She's in her early 70s and has been ill for over a year. My mum spoke to the hospital yesterday and they said we might like to think about visiting as soon as possible. My parents live in Devon so they're driving up tonight. We're a small family so it's going to hit us hard I fear. It's my uncle I worry for; he's stone deaf, doesn't have a clue how to cook or do anything domestic, even paying bills etc. My auntie has dine everything for him all his life. He'll be left living in Eastham with nobody. 

 

Cunt disease. 

[Section_31]

Horrendous. No words. 

[Bjornebye]

Sorry to hear this both, thoughts and best wishes are with your families

Awful news, ted.

I’ve got everything crossed for her/all of you.

You’ve not had your troubles to seek. 
Look after yourselves

Sorry to hear this too.

 

And another reminder to always have your own lives, your own friends and know how to look after yourself. My brother just discovered that his father in law had been living without a fridge since his wife developed dementia because he didn’t know how to buy a new one. He’s absolutely crumbled without her

So sorry mate, cunt disease!

[Preston Red]

That's awful news but I'll be sending positive thoughts your way, Ted.

[Tj hooker]

Thoughts with you Ted it really is a twat of a disease 

[tokyojoe]

Thinking of you Ted.

[littletedwest]

Found out Friday she can't have immunotherapy. From some reading quite a lot of people can't. So starting chemo possibly tomorrow. 

 

Her strength of mind is amazing. She got in the car last week with her partner, told me the news and said I don't want any moping then went straight to watch my grandson play football.

 

Even in these horrible times there is some humour. My Mrs said her sister ( Sam's auntie) wished she could visit more often and was told " no chance I could live for years and that's the last thing I want"

Employers can be right bastards when it comes to cancer because cancer is something we hide from - even to the point of being a heartless bitch like your boss seems to have been. Before cancer took people in my family, and then I got it, I remember wishing people would stop talking about it. But it fucking exists, and I'm so glad we have this thread. I wonder if other posters feel the sense of dread I do when I open the thread. I don't really know any of you but cancer is a fucking bastard, and I dread hearing one of you, or one of your close ones have it. Best wishes, Ted.
