Still not sure what is happening to me, what type of cancer i have or even when any kind of treatment will start.
BUT had my liver scan and chest x-ray today and they came back clear - phew!!!! Feels like the first bit of positive news i have had for the past week. :)
Keeping my fingers crossed that the meeting with the consultant in London on Wednesday will answer the myriad of questions i have swirling in my brain

Saw the consultant and now at least have an idea of when treatment starts and when likely to have surgery so am out of limbo and now crapping myself.
Think it finally hit home today just how long and hard this is going to be
you do have a long,hard battle a head of you, but please try to stay positive and strong.
i was told by my lovely nurse that it makes such a huge difference to the outcome of your treatment if you can tackle it with a positive attitude as this horrible,evil disease loves to feed on the negative energy we can produce in our lower,weaker moments .....
i'm so glad that your liver and chest results came back clear that must be a huge relief for you....
good luck with all your treatment hun ,i think you will feel much better once you get started on it and you know something is being done to get rid of the bloody horrible thing.
i have had nearly 8 weeks of tests and still not even started treatment, i had an op on friday so hopefully once i get the results back from that i'll be all set to go......i too feel the waiting is definatly the hardest part !!!!
Think you are right - i think that once the first session of chemo is over i will feel like i am more in control, and will know what to expect. Also i do want this evil bloody thing out of my body.
I am trying to stay positive, but to be honest it is seeing others crying and getting upset that upsets me. Me and hubby and determined not to let it beat us.
I hope that you get your results back soon - keep positive!
i know what you mean, seeing the ppl you love hurting is just heartbreaking.
I ,my family and close friends have agreed to cry when we need to,to try and laugh atleast once each day and be as open as we can with each other ,altho if i'm totally honest i do hide a lot of my tears as i dont want to upset them any more than they already are
(thats when this site proves heaven sent, i can talk openly and honestly without fear of upsetting or scaring those closest to me )
you and your hubby can get thro this together xxxxx
Thank you for your message. I can fully understand what you are going through at present, it must be such a worrying time for you.
I found that when I was diagnosed my feet hardly touched the ground, but I think self preservation kicks in, along with concern for the baby, this sort of helps you get through everything. The doctors and nurses will really, really look out for you. I was interested to learn that they are thinking of giving you chemo whilst still pregnant, maybe things have moved on in treatments since I had Sam 5 years ago. I know that whatever happens they will have your's and the baby's welfare at the forefront of what treatment, etc. they recommend.
I think you come across as a strong lady and that will help significantly. Stay strong, you have the baby to think about!
Since my initial diagnosis life has thrown a few more 'curved ball's' my way, and I sometimes find life a struggle, but everyday I am so thankful for my beautiful little boy and I would go through everything again just for him, I'm sure you will feel the same.
Many, many good wishes to you and your family Sally, please keep me posted on your progress, if you need to speak or just want any advice, pm me and I'd be more than happy to get in touch.
