What treatments have you undergone for your cancer?

@Courtney_J I was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in 2018. I went through radiotherapy for it which was terrible, I was sick as a dog. I don't think I've ever felt worse in my life honestly. I don't know if that was just my reaction to it, or if it's like that for everyone. But I was glad to get through it. That managed to reduce the tumour so I could have it removed and then I started target therapy in late 2019. That caused a bit of diarrhoea, but over all it went well. My cancer seemed to respond well to it. I'm due for an appointment soon to check my status, but overall I've been well since.

Well I have carcinoid syndrome the initial lanreotide didn’t work with my really bad diarrhea I’m on octreotide injections 3times a day still not working I have liver tumors it’s not curable but apparently treatable I do hope so chronic diarrhea is so draining I hope something will eventually work 

I had brachytherapy in 2015 

Brachytherapy and radiotherapy 

ive had chemo cladrabine injections in tummy every day for 5 days for hairy cell leukeamia, that was 9 years ago then 3 years ago radiation and hormone injections for prostate cancer , the chemo for leukeamia was not to bad, long term effects is cronic fatigue and bone pain but have got on and live with it, the radiation again was ok, the hormone injection destroys you as a man if anything wish i did not have the hormone injections, then if i didnt would i be hear now possible not, look to live every day as it comes
