Hi there! So I've finished the four FECS, and what fun that was! Actually, it was totally bearable except for the pregnancy type nausea.Next they're going to hit me with Taxol, on a weekly basis for 12 weeks, anyone been through this?

Hi to my friends and everybody else going through this journey.
I am blogging cause I need to chat away about my late dear mum, I miss her so much and I know that saying to well "she would not want to see you still upset, after all this time, move on" . Well as much as I am getting on with my life and trying to get my brain and heart to both accept that my dear mum is no longer in this world, they are not agreeing. My brain finally acknowledged it, after giving me such lovely nightmares...
Ok just need to have a blast for a min or two.
For the last two nights on chat members have had to put up with Yomi18ayekoti. This idiot was out to totally disrupt and annoy. We have had new people on who could not cope with what was going on, members who wanted to talk things over an could not, and some long term members who have now said they wont come back for awhile as its making them so upset. I wish there was a way that admin could deal with this type of situation within a short period of time...
I have just looked in my diary to see that I have an appointment with my GP next monday, it is one I made some weeks ago.
Then I got to thinking that EVERY time I have been to see my GP since my diagnosis of uncurable prostate cancer four and a half years ago every appointment has been made by ME not once has my GP asked to see me, all the appointments have been when I thought they ought to see me. IS THIS COMMON?
I know I see my consultant every 3 months but surely I could expect my GP to take...
Doctors dont seem to know what is wrong with her they have done so many tests she has swollen up arms legs knees hands, feet, she is having trouble breathing and talking about death and she wont eat. What can it be and what can I do please help
At last I am coming out of my last chemo, and wondering what to do next. I want to get on with the life I've missed - visit family and friends, out for coffee, theatre, holidays and time with my husband in our M Home (Stella). After 15 months of hospitals and uncertainty it suddenly feels strange to have no appointments and deadlines, and in a way I don't know what to do first!
My husband wants another cruise, but as that was when I was taken bad last time I don't feel comfortable with that...
….or what? A difficult one to decide. I think I’ll opt for the celebration simply because any excuse for a party seems good to me! So why a celebration? Believe it or not it’s a year ago since I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. A year which has flown past and seen a huge change in “normal” life for all in the Bad Fairy family. According to some a year which I was unlikely to see through ……as if I’m going to accept that, some people just don’t know me at all!! Like it or not...
Tomorrow, June 30th is our 37th Wedding Anniversairy. There will be no cards and the shelf above the fireplace will be bare. It is now over 7 months since Steve's demise and not a day goes by without my thinking about how different things should have been. Oh well life goes on for some of us
Just out of hospital, made the mistake of saying to anyone of my friends that would listen that the chemo wasnt as bad as had expected. What happens? When immune system is down get an infection and kidneys pack in, luckily was at hospital for something else and it was found in a blood test, had no symptoms of kidneys not working properly, has anyone else experienced this. Doctor at hospital said chemo may be reduced in next treatment, have to say it has frightened me as it was just my first chemo...
