Well the scan was yesterday and results today.
The chemo has stopped working and the cancer in the glands is progressing!!!!! Bastard!!!!
I am being referred to a Professor Stewart in Leicester to see if he can offer anything further. I feel gutted about it but I wasnt surprised. I had a feeling something was going on so I'm glad I prepared myself mentally for bad news.
My chemo tablets are finished on Thursday and then I shall have a break until I see this chap. It just worries me that the pain will start again and I wont cope. I'll have to make sure I get the correct pain relief and lots of it if that happens.
I shall still battle on but feel I need bigger boxing gloves now. My pma has left me but hopefully thats just short term.
Off to get drunk tomorrow night and murder some songs on the Karaoke machine, the poor people in the pub!!! oh well.
Thinking of you all
Love

Hi, I wish you all the very best of luck over the next few weeks. Love Tricia x x
I,m so, so, sorry to hear your news. I have been thinking of you today and looking for your post to see how your results went.
I really dont know what to say except try to remain positive and heres hoping the professor will be able to offer you something.
Have a drink on me tomorrow night, get drunk if you need to!! Shout, scream do whatever you need to and then start focussing on getting back your positive mental attitude-how about a holiday? Recharge your batteries-hey its a good excuse!
Please keep us posted on how you are doing, take care, stay strong, julie x
I’ve been watching out for you and hoping you’d come back laughing, so I’m really sorry to see this. BUT, you’re not giving up now kiddo and you’ve by no means exhausted all your options. The pain can be managed with the right meds so you shouldn’t have to worry about that, so see your Mac nurse and she’ll deal with that. Go and see what the professor is going to do and take it from there. In the meantime, what you need to do is to retrieve some of that pma, so go out and have fun, be with people who make you feel good, and if you can, take some mini holidays or trips here and there, just to get some order into your life and regain that pma.
Joanne I don't know what to say I'm gutted for you. I think my pma as just gone to play with your pms sure they'll both be back soon. Just remember never mix grape & grain as the hangovers are pretty shite.
Bugger it fancy going to Tenerife ;-))))) Stick in there kid with you all the way.
Ive been thinking about you also, have one on me tonight Ive been going on guitar hereo that helps too, enjoy the singing and you always sound pretty good after a few dont you! Good luck with the professor and dont loose hope keep them boxing gloves ready. Love Ruthxx
