Emotions after a bad scan report

Posted by margitdill @margitdill, Jul 9 4:37pm

For several months my stage 4 cervical cancer was responding well to TIVDAK. After two previous and good scan results, I received a scan report that TIVDAK was no longer working for me and I would be switched to a different drug, ENHERTU. I’m really depressed about this and it made me physically sick and weak. How do you cope with the emotional roller coaster of cancer treatment? I’m Catholic so I do rely on my faith. But after this news though, I cannot seem to pull myself together emotionally. Help!💕

Good morning, thank you for your response. I am sorry for you to be able to identify with me. This diagnosis is a kick in the gut for sure. But again. We focus on what we have to be joyful about.
I’m 2 years post treatment, and have become somewhat nervous about reoccurrence that comes around this time. Just not in the mood to go through chemotherapy again or surgery.
It’s really helped me feel proactive by going to a doctor last week who also specializes in alternative medicine for whatever conditions we may have. He researched and put me on supplemental support specific for serous carcinoma.
There are studies showing positive results with over the counter and prescription type substances.
It’s taken away my fear and made me feel pro -active in my health again.
I hope this can help you too if you decide to take that road.
