Hi Everyone,
As the title suggests I have just joined the community and this is my first attempt at blogging. Not just here but ever.
I have not long been diagnosed with my problem and am quite ill informed as to what I can expect in the future. Not that my consultant is not informative, only that, I expect, he has not got all the evidence he needs to advise me propery. I am not unduly worried but I still find things a bit scary. I have my next consultation on the 19th August when I get the results of my CT Scan and from some blood tests that are to be taken prior to that date. The lead up to that I expect to be more and more scary as the time approaches.
If you read my profile you will realise as I do that my situation is not as serious as most but living alone literally it would be good if anyone out there who has been down this road could suggest what I might expect.
Sorry you have had to join us but welcome anyway. We all learn fast that we have to be patient because it is all about waiting. Good luck with your treatment and please keep us posted with your progress.
welcome to the club none of us wanted to join. but its a friendly crew on here and a good place to check in. Hope all goes well for you and look forward to hearing more.
It is a few weeks since I was last on the bolg site other than to follow what you are all up to, but as the time for my next visit to hospital gets closer the more concerned I become.
Since I did my first blog I have had more blood tests but no more results. I have to wait 'til the 19th of this month for those and all the other tests I have had done.
I dont know if any of you out there have had to play this waiting game, but if you have how did you cope. Do any of you like me live alone and have now one to talk to in the middle of the night when sleep refuses to come and the fear factor creeps into your mind. Any tips??
For some time I have been convincing myself that I will be OK. Things are not all that bad. These thing can be cured. This stratigy however is starting to grow a bit thin now that I am starting to constantly feel tired and the easiest of tasks are becomming more of an effort that I have ever known.
Am I just being a wimp, or do all of us with this scurge get the same feelings?
