D-Day Week!

2010-03-30T08:06:48Z

Not been posting progress of my Mum - just been to horrendous to try and put into words.

She had 2-3 months in hospital for treatment and got home just before Christmas and gladly the tumour had reduced a lot, but then has had 3 x 4-weekly R-Chop treatments. She has her scan today then her review next week - so scared and feel really selfish because my mum has fought the whole way and been so positive - has had some bad days but hardly any considering what she's been though.

I suppose all we can do is hope - but I think the worst all the time so it doesn't make the fall so hard if itis bad news and if it's good news then it's all the better - not that I ever let Mum know I think that way!

Keeping verything crossed for my Mum who is everything to me x

Coping?

2009-10-12T12:35:58Z

All new to me. Mum has non-hodgkins lymphoma on her adrenal glands. She had been ill for a good few months - like a skeleton before she was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago. She had her fist chemo about then aswell but were called back to the Macmillan Centre on Friday to be told that it was more agressive than first thought and they would have to intensify her treatment and will be in hospital for her treatments and I don't know how I am going to cope with that. I know we are lucky as there is so many people that are a lot worse of than us but at the minute I feel that I have the weight of the world on my shoulders - Dad and brother not coping and I am the one who has to be strong even though I just want to run away and cry some days.

I have read a lot of the blogs on this site and it has helped so that's what spurred me on to join. Sitting here typing this is even helping.
