hello my conspiritors all!

Well my doctor has just been to see the problem with my ankle (is swollen and very painful)

it appears that her imformation is not that i have lympoma but that i have (small cell lung cancer)

and my foot is infected and thus the reason for the swelling and the awful pain its dishing out, so antibicriotics are been arrayed to treat it wiv.

Last week one of the practise doctors advised me to add to the amount of warfarin i was taking tp make it six , Today i have been asked to cut the amount possibly by 3 so thats half because she is afraid that warfaring may cause a bleed into the tumour which will be bad news . as i have small cell lung carcenoma. and not lymphoma . whats the difference? i dont know as yet.

can we march off together with the same foot first and the same step please?.

tell me what you know of this small cell lung cancer please , treatment /symtoms / success rate ect better imformed means a tighter course sailed, and without suprise reefs and rocks.

any pilotage will be gratefuly recieved on my navigation station .

the doc didnt look too happy poor lass , so i havent pressed her for a dianosis as to outcome and maybe she can only guess anyway. I intend to be around for as long as i can. if youve had it or have it and have any input; tell pete please,

pete skipper,

Hi Pete, this is all very confusing. Unbelievable that you were led to believe you had lymphoma, yet your GP has a different diagnosis. I think you really should press them for an answer.

Unfortunately, I don't have any answers to your questions, but hopefully someone on this site can help you out.

I hope you manage to get the ankle problem sorted soon.

Best wishes to you, Christine xx

yeh christine they dont sem to be treating the same person

the one who came today told me she un derstood i had small cell lung cancer and asked me if i would consider cutting warfafarin back by half the current dose as she was afraid the thinner blood woul;d bleed into the lung carcenoma

last week a different doctor came to see me and asked if i could increase the warfarin dose to 6 mg a day thats another 1 this one apears to nbe treating me for lymphoma of the ehad and neck with it breaking out into my kid,lung ,all over the place!

jhow can i cope with this nonsence surely they could all march to the same drum. i cannot fight it with conlficting imformation

ill weait until i see MR Daddha the chemo surgeon and press him to tel ne whats going on with these G.P.s and what i have going on cancer wise.

what else can i do?.I suppose i could press simon my Mac nurse to get me the right imfo.

ill see you can see how i got this bad before getting aany meaninful treatment.
