Frustrated no line of therapy has worked
My dad (M54), has been battling RCC for the past 1.5 years. It's been exactly 1 year since we first discovered lung mets, which were so tiny at the time. Since then he has rapidly progressed on 4 different lines of treatment, to the point where now he has good sized lesions across his hilar lymph node, pelvic lymph nodes, liver, abdominal mesentery and so on.
I see so much about new developments in oncology medicine which used to once make me feel so hopeful, but now makes me feel resentful people say cancer treatment has pivoted in recent times yet nothing has worked for my dad so far.
I am truly happy other people have benefitted so greatly from recent developments and new medicines. Yet I know how selfish it may sound but I really feel resentful nothing has helped my dad yet.
Don't know if anyone else can relate but I needed to vent out my frustration.
