Sorry if this is on the wrong thread but i'm not sure where to put it

Nearly 2yrs ago i had surgery to remove a sarcoma (no treatment afterwards as not needed). My 6 month scan was clear and i had another scan 4wks ago to check if it had come back. The hospital have rang today and told me they had booked me in next Friday to see a member of the surgery team. I am abaolutely terrified and beside myself with worry. I am a single parent to a very young child who has no contact with dad due to domestic abuse. I barely have any family/friend support. If the cancer is back i really don't know what i will do. I feel physically ill

I'm so sorry to read your update.

On a practical level maybe look into Jane McEllands how to starve cancer book.

Hey OP. My husband has had sarcoma twice now. A recurrence isn’t always the worst news especially if it’s not on the lungs. We are now 6 years post the 2nd diagnosis and 17 years past the 1st.

Make sure you ask for a second opinion. the Marsden saved his life twice when a local hospital couldn’t. This isn’t a life sentence.

feel free to DM me if you want to x

I'm sorry to read this news. I'm thinking of you. I hope there's a plan of action being put together by the clinical team to turn this around for you x

Lostmymind11 · 23/02/2024 20:58

wishing you & your dc all the best @Lostmymind11 so sorry to read this news 💐

poetryandwine · 23/02/2024 21:15

Okay, so at least you have a plan. Not denying that this sucks beyond words.

Please come back for support any time. If you feel up to keeping us informed of the MRI and PET results, and what the plan will be, we may be able to offer some practical help also.

Another big hug from me.

Lostmymind11 · 23/02/2024 21:16

Thinking of you ❤️

Yousay55 · 23/02/2024 21:36

I’m sorry to read your update. I hope the plans the drs have for your treatment run as smoothly as they can for you. Be gentle with yourself and know that people really do care. 🌸

noctilucentcloud · 23/02/2024 21:38

I'm glad a friend was able to go with you today (I just re-read your original post saying you have limited family and friend support). Be super kind to yourself as you process this. I'm glad there's a plan with your medical team to work out the best way forward for you. Don't be afraid of telling your team that you need practical or emotional support. Wishing you all the very best.

Stressedafff · 23/02/2024 21:40
