In hospital today, my latest scan shows I'm stable .... go me. I'd love to know why people insist on watching their phone on full volume when headsets are so cheap. If it wasn't a chemo ward I would moan.

Had chemo this week and my tumour levels are dropping so it's doing its work. Still have litres of fluid in my belly making look like a trans mum to be.

Depressed to read this woman who rejected chemo to cure cancer with a juice diet. I've met lots of people like this who are essentially committing suicide.

Good news Vespa. Depressing reading about that lady.

What u think of Tabentafusp? or something like that. My friend is considering looking into it - kinda last resort kinda thing - but not alot known about it. Or should I say, it seems rather new and experimental from my googling.

It's immunotherapy I'd give it a whirl if the doctors prescribe it. Last year the UK changed the law that allowed any drug authorised in the USA to be used in the UK if the drug company applies for it. No further testing needed. Your friend should talk to their doctor.
