Well That's that then.

1 minute read time.

Hello to all, hope you're doing as well as you can, sunshine predicted all week-end get the bbq's out.

Saw Mr oncologist himself on Monday, results from MRI liver all clear, so mets on spine only, mainly sacrum, but some thoraxic and cervical they seem stable for now. Should have started on Ibandronic Acid to keep things stable but guess what the hospital pharmacy had run out. LOL. so will start them tomorrow, anybody else taking these pills.

McMillan nurse came today lovely lady and she won't visit again unless I need her, but my label is " surviving with cancer ". A good thing I think . Also she has to change my chair as it is to big and won't go thro the door. And Hubby not Tarzan(he thinks he is.)

This week-end I will see my two grown up sons for the first time since secondary diagnosis. Stuart is a mummy's boy and very touchy feely, and Simon is the strong silent one. It will be very difficult for me as I haven't really gone into a lot of detail with them, but at least I don't look so ill anymore, more like very tired.

Still waiting for ultra sound from gyne not heard a word glad it's an urgent one, will give them till Friday then I'll call them.

My darling daughter starts her study leave today and her first GCSE exam on Friday so really pleased things have settled down and she hasn't got me going to hospitals for tests all the time, so can concentrate on them.

Speak to you all again soon.

Love and hugs.

  • Hi Vee,

    Difficult to know how to handle the news with adult children. I tend to downplay everything for fear they go into panic mode. My daughters both live three hours travelling time from me so I can't tell them anything that, whilst it might alarm me until a final diagnosis, might cause them concern.

    Good luck with all your tests.Perhaps you should up the spinach in your husband's diet so if he can't be  Superman then he can be Popeye!

    Best wishes,

    KateG

    Hi KateG.

    Yes my boys live quite a way away so don't tell them much until I know whats happening, because as you say panic mode sets in.

    Love Vee. xxxx
