Prognosis is worse than I thought

[u/No-Permit-9519]

Hi

I posted on here about a month ago, I had ended up in the hospital with fluid around my heart and my oncologist told me I had maybe 6 months-1 year to live. Well, on Saturday I wound up in the hospital again thinking it was the same problem. Turns out, the tumor next to my heart grew from 4cm to 13cm in the month I’ve been home, and it’s pushing on my heart & causing a lot of strain. The oncologist then explained that he had tried to be optimistic about my prognosis in July, but because of this development he thinks I have a few weeks left at most.

I’ve just been crying since I got home. I wanted more time with my family and friends. I feel so rushed now, all the plans I had just went down the toilet. Thank you to everyone who read my rants and gave me advice, I wish you all the best.

I am sorry you are going through this. Stay positive and spend as much time with your family as you can. Try writing them love notes and messages. While doctors go by documented cases it’s possible they are wrong. You could wake up tomorrow and be healed. I am praying for your healing and recovery. Enjoy your time here devoid how long you have, saying please don’t spend your last days crying try spending them smiling and doing the things you enjoy doing.
