    Well here i go, the first session to kill off my Hodgkin's Lymphoma  hooray!

    It is doing such funny things to me that I cannot wait to get started.

    I have a new party trick. turn to the left hiccups, turn to the right hiccups move back to the centre and guess what, they stop straight away. spooky........

    I will be back with an update later x

    Hi

    I have been supporting my father since August  when he was incorrectly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was not strong enough for chemo and although the gastro doctor put in a metal stent it did not clear the bile that had caused his jaundice.

    He has now been referred to another hospital and a very good team that have biopsied his liver to try and confirm PSC a liver disease and they plan to remove the metal stent…

    My Dad had an appointment with the oncologist today and still nothing is offered.  He did not seem keen to refer him to a homeapathic doctor and reluctantly offered him a blood transfusion to give him a temporary boost

    Still no info and no clear diagnosis even though from the first appointment i felt that he was not going to offer him anything.

    How can you do that to another human being, not even offer them any hope…

  • Glad to be back

    Hi, I have missed not being able to log on to share for the last few days

    I am still new to the site and I am still finding my way around.

    I have received great comfort from the support not just to me but all over the site .

    I also find the info on he site really helpful.

    When my Dad fell ill 6 weeks ago  I just felt helpless and panicky.

    Thanks so much x
