Can anyone tell me how serious stage 4 actually is,I know all cancers are serious,I’m a year and a half into it have had surgery’s and radiation a year ago but still feel pretty crappy,
Hi Kevin – my husband is 1 1/2 years into stage 4 and has had only surgery. He feels great and has no health issues that we know of. He works a very physical job and has not slowed down. We have a 3 month CT next Wednesday and hoping & praying for NED.
Hi Kevin, I am Stage III NED and also had radiation therapy in New Zealand 14 years ago. I am sorry that you are not getting the support from the medical system. If you are under the public health system and a public hospital oncologist which I was too in NZ, you really have to be your own advocate and fight for yourself, find a new GP/Oncologist and one that supports your case and demand that you have a CT scan and blood tests. It sounds like you are quite unwell and it is really important to get to the bottom of your symptoms asap which from what you say have gone on for too long. I hope this helps.
