Full details of the scan show that my sweetheart has a mass in the abdomen, and 'cysts' on the liver. As yet they don't know if it is recurrance of the seminoma he had 12 years ago, of a lymphoma from his cll.

So awful, he is so brave and deserves so much more than this.

Oh I am sorry MB

Not read all messages and given your history I am sure you know all the advice, but just a gentle mention that macmillan Cancer Relief have a support AND information service going on, the number is on their website.

Wishing you, DH and your family much strength and courage over the next few weeks and months. Will be thinking of you all xxx

soapbox · 21/11/2006 20:53

Yes, people are very fond of her - and we are all rooting for her and her DH now and over the coming weeks and months.

If I am anything to go by - I would think a lot of people are feeling floored by MBs news tonight

I have had so many emails this week (before this news) regarding the christmas thread, nominating MB, and I hope that once she gets a chance to catch her breath, she will allow us to send her a little token gift, to remind her of how much she is loved on here

MB,just to say,if it is a transformation to lymphoma from his cll there are new treatments such as Rituximab(mabthera) which is a monocolnal antibody,often used in conjunction with conventional chemotherapy,which has proven highly sucessful in achieving good remission from lymphoma.Know am probably jumping the gun but want to offer some hope whilst you are in this situation.Not on CAT facility,but if I can offer any support could try to get on it or send you e-mail address.Best wishes,Wrinklytum.

Rhubarb · 21/11/2006 20:56

Oh no! That is just your worst nightmare isn't it? I'm so glad you suggested that Soapbox, she deserves a little something from us.

MB, if only there was something, anything, that any of us could do! I'm so so sorry but just saying that seems so empty in itself!

You and your family are in all our thoughts mb.

wrinklytum · 21/11/2006 20:57
