Re: Newly diagnosed metastatic cancer
Thanks for the update @Rhubarb21 - that is great that the recent scan didn't show much progression ...
As the meds kick in, it is all about managing it, as they know they can't heal it. THey are advancing with treatment options all the time! Specially now, with immunotherapy & other 'newer' treatments.
One of my friends with multiple area mets says that they virtually consider it & treat it a 'chronic disease' now, rather than a 'terminal' one - cos as you & @Cath62 say - you don't necessarily 'look or feel' ill!
Just keep doing whatever you love doing xx
take care

Re: Friday Funnies
LOL Reading isn't too bad ..... but I'd prefer a glass of wine instead of the tea/coffee! 
I have SO many books to read that I've downloaded .... it'll take a lifetime to read them all!!
