Hi 

I only joined yesterday, so new too! It’s good to chat

I am also new and worried sick I had chest xray 6 weeks apart that show exudative pleural effusion now to have ct thorax and abdomen next week then lung cancer specialist on the Monday 

Wow, that all sounds very complicated! And very intense! So after Monday will you have a treatment plan? 

Hi LucyT75,

Thanks for replying, sorry for the delay, the chemo really takes it out of me some days. Hope all is as well as can be. Can I ask are you currently undergoing treatment at the moment?

Hey Sia,

Sorry for the late reply, the chemo really takes its toll on me some days. 

Sorry to hear about everything that is going on. How did Monday go? 

Hi Sia

I had my 4th cycle of Chemo on Thursday, so I am expecting some side effects that I haven’t had yet, different type of drug this time. 

How are you feeling?

I’ve sent you a friend request. My son has recently been diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma. Sarcoma is so rare it’s difficult to find people who understand 

Hi Carebear75,

I've just accepted your friend request, thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your son. How old is he? 

It is yes, very rare, my consultant told me mine was especially rare as the type I have tends to grow on the long bone, but mine had grown on the bottom of my spine, which made the survival rate substantially lower. When I was first diagnosed I was on a young persons unit, albeit I was 24 I still fitted the category. I met a couple of girls that had sarcoma's but they were on the arm or leg and no one that had had it on the spine like myself. 

I've been on different Cancer support groups on Facebook and Sarcoma's are never mentioned so I feel like I cannot involve myself in the conversations. 

I'm glad you reached out to me and hope we can help each other at this difficult time.

Hope to speak to you soon.

Thank you for accepting my friend request. I will send you a private message
