@hi_cial Thanks. It's looking ok so far, under control. Treatment isn't much fun but the gaps between things are alright. I had a few inklings but they were concurrent with dreadful arthritis in my hips, one of which got replaced 6 months before this was diagnosed. And then there was blood... The rest is history. I've got stuff to do and I'm bloody well going to get on with it!

@greem i went thru chemo & rad for stage 3 breast cancer (being transmasc, i got ignored cuz they thought i was lying to accelerate chest surgery,,,.,, lol,,.,) so i can imagine. tho the medications will be different and the dosing schedule different its probably just as hellacious and mentally draining as any other late stage cancer. hopefully your family (spouse?) are standing strong in support for you. if it hadnt been for my spouse i dunno what wouldve occured, at the VERY least the doctors were adamant i should be nowhere near cleaning the cat litterboxes for the entire treatment - and the animals had always been 'my' thing. x.x i think my treatment lasted about 6 months, hopefully yours is no longer than that!!
