Hello. An introduction.

    ....And its good news.

    There has been improvement and is less "fluffy" (surley a technical term ;o) ) there are still areas of high grade tumour that he is now starting Chemo for 5 days every 4 weeks.

    And all of his bad symptoms recenlty have been put down to coming off the steriods.

    As the Oncolgist said "I can't send you away and say everything will be ok, but I am feeling positive about the out come"…

  • I might just loose it before wednesday...

    I am so scared.

    We get the results from the scan on Wednesday, but Dave is feeling worse and worse. He is getting more and more symptoms and I can't help but fear the worse!

    My rational mind says that everything is just catching up with him but a nagging little voice says I should be prepared for the worse!

    I probably need a slap ;o)

    As a mummy there is a mantra: "it is just a phase..." to help you get through…

  • Would you look?

    So I am on a roll tonight ;o)

    DH had his scan on Monday to see if the chemo / radio has made his tumor smaller.

    We have an appointment next wednesday for the results...

    BUT..

    Cause Dave is private they gave him a copy of the scan on DVD.

    At first he was dead against looking at it but I caught him checking against the original scan (which we have a copy of) to see if it was smaller....

    Asking for trouble ;o)

    but…

  • Lower immune and chicken poxs

    not sure what to do.... and not sure this is the best place to put this but here goes!

    My friend (who I am suppose to see tomorrow) thinks her son "may" have chicken pox.

    Dave still has a low immune system after chemo & radio therapy and my friend and I are worried that it might pass on to him.

    But am I just being over protective?

    He hasn't been that well since finishing his steriods this week.

  • waiting

    DH has now had radio and chemo therapy (6 weeks) and we are now waiting to see if the tumour has shrunk.

    But I hate waiting.

    I have been ok with it this time but I can feel myself sinking and getting generally fed up with everything.

    I am also feeling lonely as people have lives to get on with and don't want to here my moaning.

    Not much point really, just need to get things out!
