Today, after the anxiety about my partner's mood last night, I was quite drained, I had difficulty getting to sleep, just lay there praying for a miracle. He asked me to bring our sons to see him, in case he gets worse. I arranged for us to meet him in the Day Clinic after hours and it was strange to see it so empty when it is usually packed out. To be honest, I find it difficult to go with my partner when he had day clinic appointments. The hardest part is walking in and seeing so many patients...
A beautiful,loving girl,always had a word of comfort,a hug,we will miss her terribly,and mourn deeply for her.
kath darling, be at peace now sweet sweet girl.
well remember you always
and love you.
Hi all - 15th day on dexamethasone and Im not getting any kip. Reluctant to start taking sleeping pills - anyone got any advice for me.
I cant believe i am writing this but here goes.
On monday we got the results of the mri scan.
Well the news we got, well lets just say it was the best news we could of hoped for and more.
The results showed that the brain tumor has redcued significantly in size. It has come of the spine which is brilliant news. The doctors have said 1 year of chemo, mri's every three months. but it all good at the moment.
I cant believe it!!!!!!
Its amazing and im in shock
On July 22nd 2010, it will be 7 months since my dear mum died, every day seems to get harder and harder just getting out of bed is hard.
I can not see any light at the end of the tunnel, and as each day passes and we get nearer to christmas i get more upset,
And now i have to face a big operation on 11 August with out mum even though i am married my mum was always they for me, now my hubby may have parkinsons, what more can this life through at me.

Partner is very poorly. He may be transferred to HDU. He is very frightened that the side effects are a sign that he is going to die. He is extremely tired, may have an infection (or it could be 'acute inflammatory response'), is unable to eat. It is awful to see him like this, I am scared too.
I phoned his nurse and she was reassuring but has suggested that I get our sons in to see him. I feel very anxious but I am trying to organise it, it may help his morale a bit.
I am trying to stay...
Could anyone give me advice.
I Have NHL, diagnosed in 2005. Finished R-CVP treatment on Hogmany 2009, now on Rituximab maintenance therapy every 12 weeks. I'd quite like to get a new tattoo but don't know if there are complications with treatment.
Thanks
Ian
