I got a call from the Marsden this afternoon asking me to attend a radiotherapy appointment on Tuesday. So I found out that it will be radical treatment in advance of my scheduled Monday meeting. The treatment will have the aim of still getting me to surgery and the ultimate aim of cure.
I will be receiving chemotherapy (to start next week) and radiotherapy to be scheduled.
The details will be sorted out next week.
So the best possible news that I could hope for. I guess it is going to be tough but, given that the situation has become serious it is best to throw as much at the disease as possible. That is much better than the alternative of palliative care. Given that I am generally in pretty good fettle the conversation could have gone something like this if only palliative care had been offered (click on the play button below):
