Right guys and gals. Saw the consultant at Western Park Hospital yesterday and the normal treatment for my type of cancer and operation post procedure is 6 mnths of intravenous chemo given once every 2 weeks. The big side affect of this treatment is that it can cause angina attacks. On considering my history of Guilain-Barre syndrome and heart problems I would definitely have angina attacks and heart attacks. With at least one heart attack being a fatal one.
Normally without chemo I would be given a 60% chance of living 5 or more years and with chemo 70% chance BUT with chemo I would not probably see the treatment due to heart failure. Taking all these factors into consideration I have decide to not have the chemo treatment. The doctor agreed with me and said I had made the right decision. So now its back to Rotherham to go onto a 5year monitoring program. Nothing much more to say but the old Land Rover motto One Life Live It and I surely will
