Patient Prognosis is worse than I thought

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 so very sorry that you are going through this. I can’t even imagine all the emotions and fear of the unknown you are going through but what I can tell you is there is an afterlife! But the only way to spend eternity with your loved ones is to believe Jesus died on the cross for your sends and that He is the Lord of your life! Every single one of us don’t know how long we have on this Earth because this life is only temporary but we can know where we will spend our eternity!! Please read Romans 10:9-6 and John 14:6. I am praying for you this morning! I pray for mercy and miracles but more importantly I am praying for your salvation and that you will accept Jesus before it is too late! He loves you so very much ❤️
