Hello, pleased to meet you. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your time, and I’m sorry for your diagnosis.
Your determination is inspiring. In my case, two days ago, I completed the internal examinations, another colposcopy , uterus, cervix vaginal etc. no cancer.
So still only grade 4 metastatic cancer in left lower abdominal/groin lymph nodes. The infusions I’ve been given, I do not know its name but will check. The tablets are xelabine, 6 daily and radiotherapy everyday. I’m in my second week now, and fortunately have only so far had three rounds of really unpleasant nausea, vomiting and high temperatures.
Everyone attending to me in theatre and in hospital over this week have been brilliant and I’m grateful for their professionalism and caring natures. Having to attend radiotherapy each day, going to the hospital, arranging schedules, taxis, blood pathology visits etc is quite a drain on my body and taxing mentally. Rescheduling is time consuming and somewhat frustrating. I seem to be in more acceptance of my condition now than I was a few weeks ago. And there are so many people who have gone before me with trial and error I am taking encouragement from their experiences and feedback. I am thankful for this Mayo site for giving me the opportunity to express my doubts and concerns, fully understanding that each cancer and patient is individual and no cancer or experience is alike.Im starting to doze off now, so I had better close.
In doing so I look forward to hearing from you in the hope that you will make your son’s graduation. 👨‍🎓
