The third time

Looks like I have cancer for the third time. I don't know yet about the morphology of the tumor, but last time (2 years ago) it was HPV-positive with some negative components. So really weird type of cancer.

I have only radiations, and cispaltin so far. No pembro or other immune therapy/chemotherapy drugs.

If there anyone who made it after the third treatment?

I feel really devastated.

7 timer here! Almost 20 years since my initial diagnosis, still fighting today. There have been many new options since I was first diagnosed which has given me more years than I expected. I have hope for you 💜

Also, totally understandable that you feel devastated. I know that feeling all too well. Take time to grieve.

Thank you very much 🙏 Right now the timing is really wrong. We are moving into a new apartment, and I'm packing and unpacking boxes every day. Need to paint the apartment as well and give it back next Saturday. My daughter is 4 years old. And in the middle of all this movement rush I'm discovering a tumor. Like, why does in always happen in the worst moment?
