<p>a few hints to make life a liitle bit easier...</p>
<p>A) lightweight kitchen trolley....these are a godsend, you can put all your stuff on....and only one journey from kitchen to setee... i got mine free from Nhs mobility because i also use it as a walking aid, so have a word with your district nurse...</p>
<p>things to put on your trolley.....juice/water and your meds....sandwich or biscuits...tv remote, book, mob phone....anything that means you don't have to rush to get....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>B) toilet....when you do have to get up....always go to the loo..whether you really want to or not...if you're up, you might as well go..!!..then you never feel that you have to make a dash...UNLESS you get a little nudge from the tummy monster!! he's giving you a chance, go slowly but immediately and sit and wait...!!!!</p>
<p>C) 8 drinks a day..I've been told to have at least 8 drinks a day...cuppas, juice etc.....it sounds easy but give it a try..make a note and see if you do...you may be suprised...</p>
<p>D) sandwiches....If you don't want to cook, make plenty of sandwiches while you're already up and bag them, most can last 2 days..or make tortilla wraps..kids love them..tell them its a picnic.</p>
<p>E) easy stuff...juice cartons, cordial, dried powdered milk can all be left out on the counter, no need to walk to fridge..</p>
<p>take your time, don't rush for anyone...if someone wants something..ask them for a time or tell them you'll do it in ten minutes...they'll soon get fed up and do it themselves...</p>
<p>something like..''where's my school bag mum??''...''I don't know but I'll look for it at 8.30''...5 mins later..''it's ok mum I've found it''</p>
<p>Lastly...if your hair starts dropping out in yer sandwiches....don't cry...it'll grow back...and usualyy thicker and better....!!!</p>
<p>good luck chemo singles...( with kids)............</p>

<p>starting chemo on Friday...they are tablets called..capecitabine and vinorelbine...I haven't had this type of chemo...and i may not lose my hair..so that will be nice...</p>
<p>what won't be nice...I've had the lung drain in a few weeks now and the stitches are out...it's comfy and easy to drain....may now have to be removed, something about it being seen as a 'foreign body' and getting infection....</p>
<p>what will be nice...the chemo will also circulate around my noodle brain and if there are any naughty noodles left up there then they'll get chemo'd as well....</p>
<p>more nice stuff..my macmillan nurse is arranging for me to visit the hospice on Monday's so i can meet other people...and they also do stuff like massages and reiki..( not sure what that is though )...but it sounds good...</p>
<p>the ball gown is comimg along...slowly...cos I've still got steroid eyes....but it looks more like a dressing gown....!!</p>
<p>I've been able to exercise my legs a bit...it really scared me when i fell over...i sleep downstairs now and only go up when it's daylight and i'm proper awake....</p>
<p>i don't mind though cos my settee is the comfiest on the world.....and you know what.....last night i had the best 'dream' ever....my nana was sat with me all night, in her rocking chair, right next to me...cos that's what nana's do..........onwards and upwards.......</p>

<p>I'm a haberdashery addict....saving the ribbon you get wrapped around tea towels...and the little bits that come with other gifts.....you never know, they may come in useful....</p>
<p>I've missed going round the markets lately. for remnants and stuff like that.....until i discovered that you can get it all on amazon.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was going to be busy with other stuff today....i'd arranged for someone to come round and measure up for a new shower..one with a seat and handles to make it a bit easier for me....</p>
<p>the appointment was sorted and i'd got my son and dad round to help cos i'm not so mobile and a bit spaced out on steroids and pain killers....</p>
<p>so yesterday the rep calls me and just sort of says....'I've booked another appointment, so i will call to your house an hour earlier''.......</p>
<p>just so straightforward for him....''beg pardon' i say,'' then explain my situation and politely tell him to go and blow it out of his ass''</p>
<p>then i called the company, cancelled my appointment and asked them to ring the rep for an explaination....</p>
<p>why do these people think that they can treat a person like that, especially as it is a mobility company that i contacted so they know that the customers are genuine...they must think we are a pushover....</p>
<p>wrong......they under estimate the power of velvet and buttons and shiny things..........(and steroids, ha ha)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=482581&AppID=30828&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberteenagers, early mornings and bad moods......https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chansey/posts/teenagers-early-mornings-and-bad-moods2012-01-18T09:33:51Z2012-01-18T09:33:51Z<p>it's been a week since my radio therapy and Ms tiredness is paying a visit.....I've been sleeping probably about 12 hours of the day....</p>
<p>i don't mind because there's something about the power of sleep and healing....</p>
<p>But, at the moment I've still been getting up and dressed in the morning.....and if I can..I'm sure son number 2 can make the effort...</p>
<p>So I wake him at 6.30...have my brekkie, then disappear into my book ( the hobbit, my happy place.)..</p>
<p>8 o'clock...ex husband turns up to take son to college....when I'm sat in me dressing gown looking like death warmed up, the last person I wish to converse with is my ex..!! .....</p>
<p>10 minutes of uncomfortableness later....down comes son.....saying...</p>
<p>'' I was under the impression that somebody was going to wake me up this morning....''</p>
<p>so my question is....how big a stick can i use to thump him with next time without getting arrested....??</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=481859&AppID=30828&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberno matter how small..a bit of good news is always nice......https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chansey/posts/no-matter-how-small-a-bit-of-good-news-is-always-nice2012-01-15T14:42:44Z2012-01-15T14:42:44Z<p>district nurse came today to drain my lung......so tomorrow should be a good breathing day....</p>
<p>it's 5 days since the radiostactic radiation therapy I had and she said that my head will be most swelled up now and should start to ease off soon...</p>
<p>my forehead is looking a bit 'tanned' as well......</p>
<p>but...good news....apparently when i start chemo for my lung....it may heal up the gap in it a bit and i might not need it draining as much...</p>
<p>We all need things to look forward to....whether they happen or not.....</p>
<p>I thought that being able to drive again would be the best.....going for a walk in the park with my dog.....</p>
<p>going to a parents evening with my kids.....</p>
<p>these are my goals at the moment....one little step at a time......</p>
<p>love and hugs .......</p>

<p>and everyone was round as well...macmillan nurse...district nurse.....shopping delivery....mum and dad.......uncle Tom cobbly and all.............!!</p>
<p>My lads came and sat with me last night with a brew....for the first time in months I asked them to leave me sat alone for a bit.....i really didn't want to say stuff i didn't mean....cos it was all there in my head....nasty comments.......</p>
<p>half an hour later, I was feeling better......</p>
<p>I like taking photos....so i got my camera and took a load of pics of myself.....they're not nice pictures....I'm only just cracking 6 stone at the moment, I have no bum cheeks whatsoever....well. not much of owt really.......and I could do with a bit of fake tan or something....</p>
<p>Also noticed that my hair is literally greying before my very eyes....that's weird...i didn't think that actually happened for real...!</p>
<p>But that wasn't the point, I'm not bothered what i look like....just as long as I'm still here.....</p>
<p>So i took the pics...in the mirror..some dark...some light...none smiling.......different angles and sides...</p>
<p>then i cropped them...and sat and looked at them....it really summed up how I was feeling....basically, pissed off and distant....</p>
<p>But it did the trick...I could put them away in my computer.....where i do have some happy ones as well..!!</p>
<p>Give it a try...........it could be of help....if only to be able to file away for a bit.......and pretend.......</p>
<p>I'm ok today...had a lovely dream about shiny things......time to treat myself to some i think......</p>

<p>The staff at rosemere were the best...they kept me informed and relaxed through it all...</p>
<p>MRI at 8am.....then measured up and a face mould and cushion made.....it really was like having a facial.</p>
<p>went home for a couple of hours...soon as i got back the staff were there to tell me what happens next....</p>
<p>4pm they started......the mask was a bit tight to start with but after breathing it warmed up.</p>
<p>I wasn't left alone much...lights were on most of the time.....and the whole procedure only took about half an hour....</p>
<p>When they started...I could feel myself cheering inside, and also swearing at the little bugger....!!</p>
<p>It was quite emotional when i came out..!! even for the nurses...quite a lot of people were watching the screens...The consultant was there waiting for me...told me of side effects etc....had a brew, then home.....</p>
<p>And I got to take me mask home....me lads were well impressed with it....!!!</p>

<p>I've read up about the actual procedure and possible side effects....but what i haven't really had chance to think about...( and definately not talk about) is that I'm scared....and worried....</p>
<p>I keep seeing pictures of '' one flew over the cuckoo's nest''...............!</p>
<p>I'll be glad to get rid of the little s**t, though...its always in a bad mood and arguing with me,gives me headaches and fits..and even shuts my eye when i'm trying to read.....its a bloody poltergeist...</p>
<p>I've been too busy keeping my family spirits up...I keep smiling and saying that i feel ok....I don't really...</p>
<p>I'm full of steroids and pain killers.....</p>
<p>Thankfully, my kids are brilliant...taking it all in their stride and being....'normal'....</p>
<p>I am literally not able to cry....because of my lung....if i cry, I can't breath as well....!!</p>
<p>So that may be a good thing....!!</p>
<p>The only thing i asked of folk is that they aren't upset all the time...they be positive and always see the glass as half full.....it really dosen't help me to see upset and crying....</p>
<p>which brings me back to my mum....my parents call round every day....</p>
<p>mum's routine...throws coffee into cups...drops cups or anything not nailed down...tells me i'm in a bad mood...tells me to ring the doctor or district nurse.....then sits down and cries...no conversation...no nothing.....half an hour later says sorry, shouts at dad, then they go home......</p>
<p>And this is supposed to help me..........??</p>
<p>It's going to be a long day tomorrow, I'm in at 8am for MRI scan...I have to get a mould made over my face...and whatever other stuff they do to keep me still....</p>
<p>I've a permanent drain in my lung which is being done today so i should be good for lying still tomorrow.........</p>
<p>the radiation procedure is tomorrow evening......</p>
<p>It sounds really awful....but I wonder if I could ask them to put me somewhere on my own for most of the time....cos i really don't know what my parents expect to do all day.....</p>
<p>And sometimes...I don't want to natter all the time...i don't really want to any of the time....I like quiet....</p>
<p>And just hope I come out of it all in one piece.......and still remember who I am.....!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=479908&AppID=30828&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberare mum's always insane...or have I only just noticed....https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chansey/posts/are-mum-s-always-insane-or-have-i-only-just-noticed2012-01-04T06:18:29Z2012-01-04T06:18:29Z<p>I'm 47...a single independant woman with two grown up sons......I also have cancer.....</p>
<p>I can't drive at the moment so mum and dad assist me.....yesterday I got my permanent lung drain put in.....</p>
<p>mum spoke for me at the hospital.....she started to give them my old name now...my maiden name....</p>
<p>i was filing my nails while waiting....she told me to stop or they would break........</p>
<p>she rings my doctor and district nurse without telling me.......</p>
<p>I was changing for an x ray...she followed me and started to undress me......then took all my clothes with her.......</p>
<p>she was in such a flap that the door banged really loud and the staff came to see what it was...mum just stood there looking at me......</p>
<p>she interrupts the doctors when they are trying to explain something and we all lose the thread ....</p>
<p>my poor dad bimbles along with me in my wheelchair...then mum comes running and rushes us around......</p>
<p>I was waiting in the car for him, texting my friend....mumsie took my phone and handbag from me..got in the car...and home we went...in silence....</p>
<p>I'm 47...a single, independant woman with two grown up sons....</p>
<p>six months ago I ran the 'race for life..in 25 minutes...I drove..I walked my dog....and i had my own business...</p>
<p>then the cancer came back........</p>
<p>now I've got mumsie.....a hell of a lot of PATIENCE....and a new found respect for my dad......!! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=478631&AppID=30828&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermembermight have a little cry today.....https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chansey/posts/might-have-a-little-cry-today2011-12-31T05:39:19Z2011-12-31T05:39:19Z<p>Which is not a good idea at the moment...cos if I cry, I can't breathe also....!! bloody lungs...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a couple more days and I get the permanent drain in....so hopefully, that taste from hell in my mouth wll go......and i can start eating normal again.</p>
<p>weighed myself yesterday and i'm just about holding onto 7 stone...so not bad I suppose.</p>
<p>Little and often seems to be the way to do it, I have those fortisip drinks but they taste like shite now...</p>
<p>I've been indoors for a couple of weeks now..except one visit to A&E last week when the brain tumor decided to have a suprise party without warning me to get stronger painkillers...that was the night of the waterfall..!!</p>
<p>On a good note,I've been on all the sales and got some really good bargains....you know when you're a kid and you want to swish around in long dresses like a princess...well I still do..so I got one just for the hell of it...</p>
<p>I don't really know what to do with myself today, which isn't usual for me..I may be indoors but like to keep busy...</p>
<p>Although I've found myself a bit disoriented most times now, and my eyes have gone a bit blurred....</p>
<p>So if you imagine Mr Magoo in a long frock................that's me.................</p>

<p>My mum cooked...she made far too much...but it was finished off yesterday....!!</p>
<p>I had a glass of wine...but then my dad asked if it was 'upsetting my tummy'...''dad. I'm 47''.</p>
<p>I had a bit of a cry in the afternoon...but they saw me and sat round me and all that....didn't really want that....I know its all going to be alright, I know that if this treatment don't work then there are still some more options, and mainly....I'm still on the one - three years....</p>
<p>My dad's friend Lawrence went 15 years on borrowed time...and the old git didn't even give up smoking and drinking....!!! he was one of the '' what's the bloody point now'' generation.....!!</p>
<p>I even slept a couple of hours last night...that was a treat...I never realised how a person could go for weeks just dozing for an hour here and there...no wonder I start waffling.....</p>
<p>Thinking of New Year now....I'll stay in this year I think...give the younger ones a chance...!!</p>

I honestly thought it was the tumor in my lung pressing on a nerve or something.....but my oncologist arranged for a MRI scan which I had on Monday......course it wasn't the lung tumor.... there's a 2cm lesion on the left side of my brain...which is affecting the right side of my body..!!</p>
<p>And whilst they were having a look around....they found small lesions in my vertebre.....I asked them not to bother looking, but that's doctors for you....they have to have the last word...!!</p>
<p>Went for a lung biopsy on Tuesday, which was painful but glad i could have it because they can now compare the sample to my previous one 3 years ago and check its still the same cancer type...</p>
<p>But once again....couldn't just leave it at that....'' while you're here Jackie, we'll drain your lung and you can stay for a couple of days....'' lovely for me, I got a really nice rest.....and pretty spaced out on morphine....!!!</p>
<p>Home now and preparing for next week....not christmas I'm afraid...my family are seeing to that..( which should be fun)...I'm usually really particular when it comes to decorations etc..a bit like Monica off Friends...my two teenage sons will be doing it all this weekend...I will be patient and smiley..!!</p>
<p>I'm preparing for Stereotactic Radiation Therapy sometimes called the cyberknife or X-knife...!! They're going to blast the legion on my brain all in one shot......</p>
<p>So my final words on this blog have to be........MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.........!!!!</p>

<p>There was only one thing that made me cringe.....runny noses.....you know the ones I mean so I won't go into detail....!!</p>
<p>I had a call from hospital today...I have an appointment to go in next week when they are going to remove a sample of fluid from my lung...I didn't dare ask which route they would be taking to do this..</p>
<p>I only hope that this will help to relieve my problem with the stuff and they can drain a bit off..!!</p>
<p>It all sounds, and probably will be, a bit grisly but they will now be able to test the sample and make sure I get the correct chemo for the job...!!</p>

<p>I ran in the Race for Life in June this year...a month later began coughing and wheezing...over the course of the summer I was treated for asthma, infection, bronchitis and infection again, I had an appointment at the breast care clinic in September and was referred for a CT scan.............</p>
<p>Which came back as secondary breast cancer in my lungs.........I saw my oncologist a couple of days ago...had a mommogram, heart echo scan and I'm having an MRI and bone scan.....</p>
<p>In two weeks I'll be back on chemo......two oral and one intravenous....they're putting in a port because my veins are not so good from the last chemo and herceptin two years ago......</p>
<p>I have also been asked to take part in trials of new cancer drugs......''yes'' I said, to be honest, I'll take anything....especially if it will help future cancer patients...............</p>
<p>Prognosis.......one to three years.................I'm just trying to figure out how the hell to tell my kids....</p>
