life is a bitch

2011-03-24T07:37:39Z

HI everyone,Just thought i would write down how i am feeling,you seem to have a phase throgh life when nothing ever goes wrong you never get any problems and you just think all the bad things are in the newspapers or that its happening to someone else,then BANG everything seems to be going wrong in your life and you think well what have i done to deserve this im not a bad person ive worked all my life so contributed to society,could;nt have my own children,so decided to take some out of a life that would;nt have been good for them by adopting two one was five a little girl and one was 6 a little boy life was complete i had a wounderfull husband that was never work shy and loved me and the children unconditionally,and sometimes life was;nt easy as these kids come with baggage and sometimes not good things,but we coped,now though life seems to be treating us like what you read on the TV,or in the papers,firstly my daughter who is now 14 but a very young and vunerable little girl keeps stealing and lying and running away,i ask myself what have i done to deserve this as i love her to bits,then last year my rock (husband) is diagnoised with prostate cancer,hey ho can it get any worse well yes it can my mum then has a stroke, ok she survived,but its not my mum,dad has slight dementia,and is worn out,as so do i having to run two homes.then just to top it all my cousin phoned monday night to say his wife has just been diagnoised with breat cancer,well thats why i think life is a bitch,but then again i flick through this site and find that some people are much worse off than me and i dont have cancer , but life can still be a bitch,to all my friends on here that have loved ones who are suffering and maybe other things that are going on in their lives keep smiling and try to stay strong,one thing the sun is shining today and that seems to make tnings lots better,love to all and to who ever reads this thanks for taking the time love jill xx

finished radiotherapy

2011-03-06T21:12:17Z

Hi Everyone,can anyone give a bit of advice my husband has just finished his radiotherapy for prostate cancer and got through not too bad last few he had a bit of burning in his tummy,but since he has finished he has become physically drained just falling asleep all the time very short tempered,i feel like im treading on egg shells as dont want to open my mouth sometimes as to not upset him,one good thing he still has a good appetite,has anyone else experienced any of these symptoms,and how long will i have to go throughputting up with him being so moody and snappy,thanks for listerning jill xxx

un-comfy catheters.

2010-12-15T22:12:57Z

After 13 sessions of radiotherapy,the terrible burning started,couldnt put up with the pain any longer,so admitted to hospital,23 to 28 november, as i ended up collapsing as couldnt pass any wee at all,3 catheters later still quiet sore,had the catheter removed,discharched from hospital,go back to be measured for the radiotherapy,but nervous as to weather this problem of me not being able to wee will happen again,so ask for catheter to be put in before radiotherapy starts again,big mistake as dont think my bladder likes these rubber things going inside of me ,as pain starts up again,addmitted to hospital on 14th december yet again,given pain relife 15th catheter removed again ,feel much better,and that catheter must have made my wee tube bigger as weeing better than ever,only trouble now radiotherapy put back till christmas is over,let the bladder,have a good old rest,one good thing psa done monday and now down to1.5 much better than 121 in march when diagnoised.so roll on new year new start,hopefully get rid of this cancer for good ,heres hoping,

a little hiccup

2010-11-25T09:49:49Z

hi all ,just had a little set back this week with the radiotherapy.it has stopped me being able to pass wee ,and my little shrimp was getting terrible burning pain,couldnt stand it any more so had to dial for help,taken into hospital,and a good job to as got so much urine in the bladder,it could have caused renal problems ,so all you men out there ,who are all having radiotherapy for prostate cancer,you know your own body, and pain threshold,take my advice dial the proffesionals ,and get sorted,i was gutted as wanted to carry on with the radiotherapy,now it has to be re-schedualed,but at least i can still have it re-schedualed,had i left this ,things could have been much worse,met some lovely people and been having quiet a laugh with them so looking forward now to getting this treatment back on track,as much as you can look forward to having treatment for cancer,but hey! i do have it and now accepting i have it and sometimes you do have to laugh about these little hiccups thats what keeps you going,take care to all the men who are going through this ,and to all the special friends i and jill have on the macmillan site they no who they are,love peter jill xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

well even though i was diagnoised with agressive prostate cancer and a gleason score of 9 a psa of 121. the consultant is giving me the benefit of the doubt having had 2ct scans and a bone scan and all come back clear,even though the consultant said i could have matastic diesese.that has not been picked up on the scans as it cant always be seen, and how on earth can my consultant see whats going on in my body,well hes not in there so he cant,so i am having this raditherapy done and hoping 2011 is going to be a better year, my last raditherapy is christmas eve,SO HERE GOES BRING IT ON !!!!!!!!!!! MERRY XMAS TO ONE AND ALL AND ALL YOUR LOVED ONES,IF ANYONE ELSE GETS THE CHANCE OF SOMETHING TO HELP CURE THEM THEN GO FOR IT LOVE ORANGE123XXXXX
