Re: Who are the longest stage 4 survivor's on here?

Hi. My mother is 4 1/2 years from diagnosis and goodness knows how long before that. :? All on twelve cycles of chemo. Quite amazing if you ask me. Not really sure if she could handle the amount of chemo you heros endure. However her surgeons first liver resection patient is still alive. Twenty year...

Re: When cancer returns, is chemo just as effective?

Hello there, How was Christmas? Hope you have been managing ok on chemo. I can only share what my mother experienced but she did get the same outcome second time round. However she did have some pain management issues that required addressing. As chemo progressed towards the end of her two week cycl...

Hi,
Hate that you have to face this again. I had quietly been hoping it was just a poor scan. Very glad they can operate though. Thinking of you and your family. Love Stu

Re: Gone from looking positive to unsure of my future now

Hi Lisa, Just my own opinion but I am inclined to think it has just become visible on the scan during a period without chemo.
