Ive been in hospital for nine weeks rushed in with massive infection. Every time the try to reduce the antibiotics or change them to oral I spike temperatures and they have to restart. I obviously have an untouchable infection,

I have squamous cell cancer with unknown origin. Its been three years two years of chemo kept it in place but now its growing in my lymph nodes. Surgery not possible as i would bleed too much. Immunotherapy was supposed tonsave me but Ive never really had. chance to give it a go due to my bad luck,, vascular surgery, then taking my shin skin off then colitus! Infeel cursed!

my consultant is willing to try immuno again but he honestly doesnt think my temp will stay down long enough.

the other option is home on profilactic antibiotics and a care package. I feel like this is the only option really. I miss my cats. I feel so well in myself its so unfair. What started off the size of a peanut is going to kill me and god knows when that will be. Judging by the whispering and my consultant telling me to start smoking again it must be soon.

I feel sick!

I don’t think we’ll find out if the worst has happened, sadly.

I don’t think we will either. What a horrid b***d disease it is.

We can only hope that her passing was peaceful if this is what has happened.

Yes, I hope so to. No word from her or anyone, on the life limiting thread either.

One of the hardest things about the Internet is not knowing what has happened when someone goes quiet. I also hope she is at peace, wherever she is or what has happened.

Enigma54 · 22/06/2026 22:23

@SpecialneedsnightmareI totally agree.

Be at peace lovely lady x

Would those of you from the stage IV thread hear any news via her facebook?

I like to think she is comfortable and happy where she is....and her cats are well cared for by her nieces.....

Edited

We do have a FB group set up for those of us with stage IV, but nothing has been posted.

I also like to think that @EachandEveryone is comfortable and at peace. I’m sure her nieces will be taking care of her beloved cats.

Hello folks. We haven’t had any further update from the OP or her family, so we’re going to close this thread now. We’ll leave it here, with our thoughts very much with the OP, her family and her much-loved cats.
