I start some chemotherapy next week with the aim of reducing the size of the main tumorous mass to try and ease my discomfort a little. Then after two months I'll have some more tests done to see if the treatment is working, If not, they will try something else. He won't give me an estimate of how long I have left until he sees what effect the treatment has had. When I know more I'll let everyone here know too.
