I DIDN'T EVEN GET A STRAW - SHORT OR OTHERWISE!

1 minute read time.

Sorry not to have posted for a few days.  A great deal has happened.  I have had m y 5 sessions of Radio Therapy.  No problems at all.  Just waiting for my hair to fall out!!  I can honestly say it wasn't too bad.  Wearing the mask was fine - white mesh one without any holes for mouth or anything but wasn't uncomfortable.

I have seen two more doctors who now say I have tumours in my lungs as well.  I have asked about any treatment - operations etc. and they say nothing would work.  I even have a couple more melanomas on my leg that they say it's not worth going through anothe operation.  Haven't even got another appointment fo 8 weeks.  Also I have no symptoms whatsoever apart from my left hand being numb.

It finally hit home when my GP told me he was applying for a grant for me -  do nothing - just collect the money and when I looked it is for terminally ill people who are not expected to live longer than 6 months.  SO first ambition get as much money from the government as possible. 6 months is only a number - not taking any notice of that.  Anyway I am 65 at the end of August and I want a party.

Well, will keep you up to date.

Take   care

Love Gill x

  • That is a b*gger! Remember, I'm local so if you want a shoulder to cry on send me a PM. As Foxylady said on another posting - she, Sharry, and I are all in the area.

    Hope you get to party the night away!

    Best wishes,
