So I've just discovered that I have about 18 months left to live.

Cancer is a bitch. While I'm still able I think I'm going to try and have as much fun on here as possible and also try and tick as much off my bucket list as possible. Like I don't even know what to write but happy fabbing I guess

I'm very sorry to hear this. The news must have come as a terrible shock to you, especially as you are so young. It is good you are thinking positively.

Really difficult post to read, so I can’t imagine just how hard it was to write.

A real challenge no doubt, to get your head around the news and I hope the people close to you will do everything possible to help you come to terms and help you thrive in the weeks and months ahead

A truly heartbreaking thread. Wishing you all the best. 18 months prognosis is just that and i know people that have survived a lot longer.

Its important to make memories and do all those things you ever wanted to do. Family and friends will be more important than ever.

What a heartbreaking situation. I know the OP has left the site, but I hope they had support from family and friends and can make the most of the time they have left.

I am currently dealing with a cancer diagnosis and I am lucky to have family and friends that I can confide in.

If anyone is dealing with shit like this alone, my inbox is always open. Look after yourselves and make the most of life's opportunities, as the future is never guaranteed.

Such a difficult thing to read.

I dont know if the OP will be able to read anything on the forum, but I can't express my care and concern enough towards them.

.

Having lost both parents and both sets of grand parents to this shit of a disease, knowing its gone from 1 in 5, 1in 3 to 1 in 2 will get it only bewilders me.

I pray the OP fulfils their dreams and wishes they have made.

.

I wish their support network strength and good wishes too.

My heart genuinely goes out to anyone suffering either directly or indirectly because of cancer.

All we can hope now is that the OP stays safe.

.

Being someone who has supported people with it myself since i was 15 years old only turns me into a person willing to support and help other supporters (where I can).

.

Sheesh.. 😞

This was a devastating read. I lost my grandad to cancer last year. Cancer is evil. I hope whoever the OP was. Has loved ones around.

This is heartbreaking. And to my mind irresponsible of the medical profession. My dad was given a prognosis of 3 months, 10 years before he actually died. I read of others who make a complete recovery after being told they have 'n' months to live. We all, every one of us are dying. What gives any doctor the right to tell us when are going to check out, based on nothing more than a guess?

1 month ago today, I lost my wife of 40years to aggressive brain cancer. Im a complete mess. Torn between dark, really dark thoughts and raging hormonal needs to have sex with a woman. Just to feel close. To cuddle. To release the enormous stress and tension. I talked to a few people and it appears it happens alot after the loss of a soulmate. A craving for intimacy, of sexual normality after the months of misery. It's called widows fire. Look it up, it's actually a thing. Not a good year 2026. Maybe I need to go and pay to get it out of my system. I'll probably feel terrible afterwards but it's a craving right now. Emotions are weird.

Condolences to you.

There are organisations you can talk to if you think it would help

I lost my wife to cancer and medical negligence at the hands of the NHS 10 years ago now.

Very often the first question a patient will ask following the diagnosis is “How long have I got?”

Medical professionals offer an opinion if pressed based upon the statistical data of thousands of previous cases to give a percentage survivability timeline figure.

It can help people to get their affairs in order and wrap their head around it.

I think it’s a bit more than “a guess”.
