    Hallo again! I'm one of those people who has lifelong problems with certain drugs and foods. Mostly, my anaphylaxes (which is a severe form of allergy which is life-threatening therefore I have to avoid certain drugs) are fairly common; things like Penicillin and Elastoplast. But, unfortunately...

    Hi Tooldle, You're right, it is progress for your Dad. The waiting is hard but it's good to be going forward. Mum seems ok so far with the chemo. She's feeling tired but is coping. It's tough for her as she is only having fortisips and build ups and she loves her food so much. I hope...

    Hi Tooldle, Good luck today. Thinking of you. My Mum started her chemo last Wed and was in all day having it. They found stage 1 breast cancer so they're giving her tablets for that also. She seems ok so far but is tired. She's got 3 cycles of chemo treatment and then they'll hopefully...

    This is probably only going to be of interest to me! I seem to be becoming more navel-gazing as the days go by but, even if this blog serves only as a record for me to look back on, that's ok! I was diagnosed with leukemia about a year ago. I'm never sure in things which have public viewing...

    Hi folks, Not sure if this is the right place to be chatting about this but just wondered if anyone had been through similar. My partner was diagnosed back in 2009 with a brain tumour. To cut a long story short he had 6 operations, suffered a brain haemorrhage and spent almost 5 months in hospital...

    Hi all, I recently had surgery to remove a tumour from my colon, and was told I was a Dukes B. I am just out of hospital and recovering from surgery, and my oncologist wants to get me going on adjuvant chemotherapy this week (2 weeks after surgery). I have some questions... Firstly, I would imagine...

    My sixth and last FEC chemo was on the 22nd April. The side effects hit me harder again this time, but here I am nearly two weeks on and I'm slowly recovering and I am feeling better each day. The sun is shining and that always makes you feel better! The hypnotherapy sessions to tackle my needle...

    Hi folks I start chemotherapy on Tuesday 2 April 2013, something I would assume all of us thought and hoped we would never have to face. I decided to start this blog to give me something to do something to focus on if things became difficult. However talking to other I thought that maybe my story...

    Phew, the weeks are still whizzing by! I had chemo number 5 last Friday and thankfully the cannular went in first time, so no tears or shaking from me for a change. I told my youngest daughter, that my appointment was an hour later than it was as I didn't want her to witness the distress I get...
