I dont represent anyone. I am not sure what you are talking about as I don't really know how to use this forum so I might have missed something. Anyway I hope all goes well for you. Doug

Thanks heaps for that, It makes me feel a bit better hearing that you went through a bad time and came out ok. I decided to talk to my oncologist and she was very understanding and suggested I get some therapy before going ahead. All the best Doug

Hi, I have just recovered, well still recovering from throat cancer and had a horrible time of it. I ended up in emergency a few times and got very sick. I had bad luck with every procedure and have been left with ptsd. I have now been told I have lung cancer and need chemo and imuno but not sure I can go through with it. the main reason is I reacted badly to the chemo and also the Peg I had put in was totally disabling for me and got badly infected many times. When I wanted to get it out there was no one at the hospital to do it so i had to go to a private doctor and get it ripped out. not nice. So I am not sure I can go through the two year of treatment and am especially freaked out about the thing that has to be implanted in my chest for two years. the decision to get treatment or not haunts me day and night. Anyway , I feel a little better for venting, thank Doug. 🤔

I really appreciate all the effort you put into your reply's. The only problem is it has now spread to my lungs. I have been told that the throat has been cleared but stage four lung cancer. I don't know if I will get treatment or not. They tell me two years of chemo and imuno. not sure if I am up to that. I love your optimistic view of life and I think A little has infected me. so thanks for that. I am a very lucky old man to have a lovely wife , children and grandchildren so I have to be grateful for that. can I ask what two domains you are in. anyway thanks again for all your advice and help and I wish you and yours all the best. Doug
