Hello, I’m posting to update on stage 4 metastasised groin cancer. Still no primary located through PET or CT or ultra sound. Blood count prior to treatment did not show cancer, FBC and others requested, everything within correct range. Oncologist care team allure to this scc coming from the rectum, anus, vulva, or cervix. So whilst on chemo and radiation for these area, I’m Having surgery on Tuesday 11/11/25 for a closer inspection of the cervix. The pelvic region of my body, including my rear end is being radiated. I started with infusion chemo and have now moved onto tablets, 6 a day.
Have been ok with most of this treatment to date, but the nausea kicked in with vengeance yesterday, and hasn’t stopped. Two other issues I’m finding difficult are, the back of my neck is swelling and the pain is like a huge pressure moving upwards to behind my left ear. I feel like my head is going to explode. It’s settled a little today, but it was excruciatingly painful and severely swollen. The veins in my head felt like they were going to burst. I discussed this with both the oncologist and the radiotherapy team, as the oncologist thought it may have been the way my body had to be positioned/ twisted on the radiotherapy equipment. I do not believe this to be the case as last night the whole pattern repeated itself. My eyesight is blurring periodically, and occasionally unsteady on my feet. Today I’m resting in bed, as the nausea is relentless, even after taking an anti nausea tablet. I’m still questioning why I agreed to this treatment?
I guess I was finally convinced that if the cancer did spread from the groin into the blood system through the lymph nodes it could be more difficult to treat in the future.
I know everyone is trying to save my life for which I am grateful, but the fact is I still only have a small cancer nodule in my groin that I have been told is grade 4 metastatic cancer. For all I know the nodule may have been there for a long time, stable, not growing, not dispersing. Now with the stress and treatment it just might decide to do so.
In my mind I keep looking at the plants on our planet, trees that get damaged, cut, trimmed, poisoned etc. plants that heel themselves, and grow into beautiful evergreen healthy specimens. Nuisance Camphor laurels will re-sucker, root stock,& liquid ambers will, etc., as they want to preserve themselves, and this is a natural defence mechanism, and an energy diversion. Perhaps not the best example to give, but I can’t think of another. In reading what I’ve written now & perhaps none of it makes sense at all.
