    I’m going to try very hard to not worry about it until the 6 weeks is up. Not sure how successful I’ll be though lol
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    My cousin, with cancer, has just found out he has Lynch Syndrome. It’s a genetic mutation that greatly increases the risk of certain cancers like bowel, womb, ovary, pancreas etc. On the plus side it means he might be eligible for a drug trial. On the huge theres a 50/50 chance his kids could have it. We have to wait for them all to be tested as we don’t know whether it’s our side of the family or his dads....

    I think so. He has just been told he’s eligible for the trial. As for the rest of it, we just have to wait and see.

    As well as having his entire bowel removed, the op showed that every lobe of his liver is riddled with cancer hence why they couldn’t operate and chemo would only buy him time. This new drug has been fast tracked because of covid and targets the proteins in the mutant cells, killing them off and preventing them multiplying. So they’re hoping, with chemo, the treatment can actually stop the cancer in it’s tracks

    That would be absolutely amazing if it does what it's meant to. A complete game changer for so many with cancer.
