Well its a long time since i wrote on here and am feeling like i need to get stuff off my chest and down on paper so to speak.
I have had a five week break from chemo over xmas and new year and am due to start back on the Pem next tuesday. I cant help thinking that all the new year will bring me is feeling crap for a few days every three weeks again !! I know i know, its keeping the cancer at bay and i should think myself…
Well folks, i cant believe its a year since my diagnosis ! Such a lot has happened since then not least finding this forum without which i wouldnt have coped, i look in most days but dont post much unless its a topic i feel i can help with.
There has been a lot of sadness on the site just lately with people loosing loved ones and i would just like to give these people my sincere condolences on their loss.

Ive been given an appointment to see an Oncologist on the 11th and…
Well today started out good, as had the last few days. Found i had to put on a brave face as the other half cant cope with me been upset and my Daughter gets really upset too. I have tried to get on with life and do "normal" things, visiting family going out for meals ect.

I see my consultant on Thursday…
Well i had the lung function tests on Monday and the PET scan this morning 14th August which went better than i thought it would (just kept my eyes closed the whole time) The appointment for the biopsy came and it is for next thursday 21st which should have been the date to see the MDT but they have said that will now be on the 28th. Thursday used to be be my shopping day but seems to have turned in to hospital days.
