please help! is my cancer worse than anyone else's because it has never went away?
Hello all,
I am sorry if this seems an unusual thing to ask but after numerous trips and hours of questioning the medical staff at the hospital I attend they say perhaps all chemotherapy and radiotherapy I have had possibly did not work and my cancer has always remained in my body from when I was diagnosed until now which has been 2 years and 3 months. Does this mean my cancer will never go away?
I am now on tdm1/kadcycla and I pray that it is working.
I am sick with worry and do not know what to do.
Please give me some advice.
Thank you for reading x
