Dear Viv –
How welcome your good news is. I was struggling with being sad today and your news encouraged me. There are people who are getting very good treatment for CC and experiencing success. You are part of our family now and we look forward to continued reports on your progress. Blessings, Susan
Hi Viv….another warm welcome from me also. Congratulations on the successful surgery and thank you so much for sharing the good news with us. Viv…it is quite alright to mention the name of the surgeon on this site in fact, as Gavin has mentioned it may be of great benefit to someone else living in the U.K. Of course if you choose not to want to reveal the name than that is quite alright also. We are just thrilled that you are here with us.
I suppose that you have a few more weeks before you can start chemotherapy. Do you know which protocol has been contemplated?
Wishing for a speedy recovery and looking forward to many more of your postings.
All my best,
MarionHello Vivcoles and welcome to our family but sorry you had to join us. Congratulations on already becoming a survivor! That is great news. Keep up the great work and also please keep us posted as we care!
Hi Vivcoles,
Welcome to the site. Sorry that you had to find us all but I am glad that you have joined us, and thank you so much for sharing your story with us all. I am very happy to hear that you found a surgeon who would do your surgery when others might not have. The Royal Marsden has an excellent reputation and experience of treating patients with CC. What was the name of the surgeon who did your surgery? We have a number of members here from the UK and this could be of interest to them.
I am also from the UK, in Dundee and my dad was treated with PDT in Ninewells in Dundee. Do you know what chemo regimen that you will be on? I hope that you will keep coming back here as you will get a load of support from the great members here, and please feel free to ask any questions and we will all help if we can. I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery.
My best wishes to you,
Gavin
I was diagnosed with CC at the beginning of the year, with a poor prognosis for recovery until I had the good fortune to meet a surgeon who was prepared to undertake difficult surgery to remove the tumour. One month after surgery I am almost back to normal and subsequent scans showed that the surgery has been successful. I am now going to receive a course of chemotherapy to ensure that all traces of malignant cells are removed and am looking forward to leading a normal life in the future. I am very grateful to the surgeon and his team, who are based at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, for carrying out this procedure, which has given me a new lease of life.
