1. Bollocks - really sorry and sad to hear that.
2. Bang goes the forum average IQ.
3. You are entitled to a second opinion. Your diagnosis sound clear cut so you won't get a different diagnosis but you may get different treatment options. IIRC you are in London. If you are not at the Royal Marsden, try to get there possibly via a second opinion. You're young and articulate so you may be able to swing this. Of course you may be looking o focus your energies on your remaining time. I've spent my lif workin in the NHS so PM if I can help and don't if I can't.Comment

I don't think there really *are* that many other treatment options TBH, I have two on the table depending on results of some genetic testing, there might be different combinations of chemo drugs but as for how much difference they might make, it seems to be really just clutching at straws. There isn't a miracle cure in the trial pipeline or anything like that.
I will of course keep researching and asking questions about anything interesting I find, but so far the doctors have been brilliant, taking time to answer my questions and drawing diagrams and so on. I think the fact I've been reading sci-am and similar for 20+ years and so I'm aware of quite a lot of the recent advances in knowledge about cancer probably helps as well, between that and googling cancer research and macmillan they haven't really had to explain too much of the basic stuff to me.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

I just wanted to wish you all the best. We're all rooting for you....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
