    Have blogged on here only a few times really just giving updates on my nephew's cancer fight.  He is currently in remission from synovial sarcoma and doing really well.  Yesterday my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer.  Contained (hopefully) but a 9 on the gleason scale so aggressive.  We are all in a state of shock that cancer is, once again, invading the family.  The last 18 months have been extremely difficult…

    An update on my nephew.  Scan results were yesterday and I went along with my sister to give her support.  Nephew had been getting a bit breathless recently and sis was understandably more worried this time.  The good news is though that all the scans were clear - chest/mri and heart so we were delighted.  Next lot in 3 months but, for now, things are good.  Feeling tearful today though the sheer relief that was yesterday…

    Hi everybody,

    My nephew is going for his routine three monthly scans today.  It's always a nervous time but when I spoke to my sister last night she told me he had been getting a bit breathless.  Now very worried that the cancer has spread (he had a large synovial sarcoma removed from his thigh in Aug 08) as the next place it could go to would be his lungs.  Feeling frightened.

It's still a long and uncertain road ahead for him, I know, but clear scans are clear scans hey!. Love to you all out there in cyberspace and keep battling on. Sue

    I joined the site a month or so ago but hadn't liked to post as I felt a bit shy but am having a bad day and I know how much support there is on this site. My darling nephew (11yrs old) was diagnosed last July with Synovial Sarcoma (or growing pains as the first locum gp said). He had a bit of a sore leg - doctor, x-ray - nothing showed up. Then referred to our children's hospital where the ultrasound detected a large…
