saw my Consultant Dermatologist who is looking after me for a rare
form of indolent skin cancer that I have. He has been in contact
with the Immunologist about the effects immunotherapy could have on
my skin disease and yesterday was my day to find out what it's all
about. The bottom line is that because the type of cancer I have is
a disease of the immune system I cannot risk 'playing' with my immune
system by having immunotherpay, if I were to do this then I would
leave myself open to developing a more serious cancer. I do of
course have a say in this and at the end of the day the choice would
be mine but my consultant has given me his opinion and it is a
definite NO. Between a rock and a hard place is where I am,
whichever way I look at it there are life threatening risks - what, I
wonder, is the lesser of the two evils.....................
