for anyone thats not feeling too good, i wish you well and hang in there it will come good in the end.
     i was coming home on monday with hospital transport and i was talking to a man who lives not far from me, he was an inspiration to me. hes not sure if they can help him with is secondery cancer but what spirit, he give me advice, one of he things he said was if you ever have anything you think is wrong ! with me already having cancer, don't let the doctors try to fob you off insist on having what ever it is looked at proply. i honestly didn't know what to say to him, he was great.

any one had something similar

2009-08-21T23:20:20Z

Has anyone else had something similar ! my neighbour says to hubby, whoooo jan doesn't look well at all. so hubby thinks ! i'll mention that shes got thyriod cancer and shes having her third treatment, she used to work at hospital, so she knows abit about it. anyway i come home on thursday, washed my clothes like they say i have to and there on line, now anyother time she'll knock on window and say jan its raining. now its just its raining and i'm thinking to my self have i got two heads or something cant even say my name. all i want is people to be same, say hello have a chat, just be same as always. it's as if all of a sudden they don't know what to say so they don't bother, i'm not different or a least don't think i am.so i've desidered not to talk about it to them. just act like nothings up, it's got me mad. narrow minded people.

thanks for your support

thanks for your support it's been a bit of a hard time for me last few days, i think i'm finally getting my self in mind to get through next coming weeks. i hope your treatment kazzy went well for you, fingers crossed xx. i really hope it's my last treatment, i tell my self third time lucky lol. they haven't taken me of thyroxine, they think it will make me really poorly, so instead i have to go for injections on the saturday and one on sunday then come in on monday for treatment. so i'm bad all weekend,as well as the diet, but ya do what needs doing don't ya. it's amazing were all determination come from don't you agree ! the reason they don't take me off the thyroxine is cause i have another illness its called ( f a p ) it's a bowel condition. yep the'll be lots more to attend like ya say so might as well get used to it. thats all said and done but its not always that easy, dont know if ya think the same or is it me been a bit negative ? anyway kazzy hope every thing goes well for you, i'll be thinking of you xx thanks sharry and debs_p you've all helped me. i'm not sure if you can take a laptop in hospital i know you can take a mobile i take mine, i'll ask about that thanks for the suggestion, hope things are well for you xx xjanx

radio oidine

2009-08-04T10:23:18Z

Here i go again ! it's my third round of radio iodine treatment, i've just started a two week low iodine diet and i'm trying to put myself in mind to do what i need to do, i'm finding it hard a the moment coping with everything.you'd think after going through it twice before it wound be easy, but i find it's harder in some ways. The diet makes you fell tired emotional can't think straight. i woke up this morning and all i wanted to do was cry, so i thought it might help me if i share things with people who can relate to what it's like. I go in to have my treatment on monday 17th of august, were i take a radio iodine pill i'm on my own in a room till thursday, tablet makes you feel like rubbish for weeks after that, im just not looking forward to it at all. I know i have to do it,, but i just sometimes think woundn't it be nice to wave a magic wand. i dont want to burden my hubby and family too much it's hard for them, seeing me like this, i hope you don't mind me talking to you all, it helps to get things off my chest cause i know whats coming over next few weeks.

Hi, I'm new, hope you don't mind me having a moan. doctors have highered my thyroid tables and I'm having side affects so I mentioned this to him, and to solve the problem hopefully. He suggested 150 then 175 mrg alternate days. I thought this is new I'll try it anything to help with the affects. been driving me mad. so I'll see how it goes, anyone had a similar thing ?
