I dont understand how it can be inoperable?
Hi
Inoperable isn't treatable or incurable. It simply means they cannot currently operate to get it all. When you are diagnosed the first thought is crap just cut it out and get rid of it. Totally understandable. But think treatable. You are not dying. You can be treated. They may use chemo or other treatments to shrink the cancer (so surgery may be an option) or get rid of it. I get that it is an awful time. But honestly look to the positive. I have had my stage 4 grade 3 cancer recur 4 times and have been told i am terminal but am still here 10 years and counting (i was 37 when diagnosed with uterine cancer). The worst and best advice i got was "don't be a victim". Harsh but true. Be positive. It is a crap thing to happen, not fair etc etc but you are still here and there is hope.
