I’m stage 4 prostate cancer.I bought a book called How to Starve Cancer by Jane Mclelland.She was diagnosed stage 4,19 years ago and she’s still here.It’s a strict diet and excercise program along with off label drugs.I had a consultation with the Care Oncology Clinic in Harley street and they prescribed the drugs.I wish you well in your battle.
Not great news . Tumor too big so too risky to remove because of the connected blood vessels . Plan is to have a biopsy in the next week or two at Addenbrooks and see what kind of cancer it is then Chemo to try to shrink it . 👊🏻

Sorry to hear that Beds... Am sure its going to be difficult, and is easy for me to say, but try to stay positive.
My Father in Law has a form of cancer, that I think could have been easily treated - He only heard the words cancer though, and basically allowed it to defeat him from day one. He's still around (has had it for a few years), but think his life would have been so much better even now, had he taken a better approach to it.

Beds, I’m so sorry to read this news and my thoughts are with you and your family.
Each and every one of us are part of the Charlton family and this kind of news is horrible. I really wish you the very best and the chemo does the trick.

Positive news to hear that there is a clear plan of action ahead. All the best.
Sorry to read of that Beds, but hope the wall of goodwill that is coming from this forum can keep you positive in the coming weeks. Every single one of us will be in this fight with you
Its early days yet Bed's, try to keep positive, not easy I know, as you say they need to find out more before they tackle it. Thoughts are with you mate.

Shrink it with chemo, then cut it out, then you’re golden.
My old man had stomach cancer in 2014, was initially told it was too big for anything other than palliative and he wouldn’t last more than 6 months - then they did chemo, shrunk it to a size the surgeon was happy to go at, cut it out and then he was golden - never came back.
I’m backing the same outcome for you Beds no doubt. 💪🏻
So sorry to read this, I started my chemo today, the thing to remember is that it affects everybody differently. I learnt from talking to others that staying positive (or trying to) is a great help. I have been through ups & downs, you will too, surround yourself with family & friends and lean on them whenever needed, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Happy to try and answer any questions via DM’s if you have any regards my own treatment (yours may well be different) it may help, it may not, but the offer is there as I’m further down that road.

Addenbrooks, one of the best in Britain .. Chemo before possible surgery is, as you say, the modern approach to treatment .. briefly, back in 2011, I had colon cancer and was asked to take part in a trial to see if chemo pre surgery was more effective than the then usual chemo after surgery .. it turned out that my tumour luckily was too small and 'immature' to take part in the trial and I had chemo for a short while after surgery.. I kept in touch with the trial however .. pre surgery chemo is a lot more effective in most large tumour situations than post surgery chemo .. you are in good hands and the stats are in your favour .. we are all with you Beds .. chemo won't be easy but stick with it

Best of luck with your treatment and stay positive
