Hi Guys,
before i start, im sorry every time i right a post, or chat to you im always moaning about how im feeling.
My best friend in the whole world gave birth to a beautiful baby boy the other day. It took her a whole day to call me and tell me her good news - her excuse - she was scared she upset me. All i could think of was - Have i been that bad that my best friend felt she couldnt talk to me.
I thought i would be fine - i love children. I went to see them both today, her first words to me...
Hi everyone...
So this morning i go to dressings clinic dispondant that nothing is working to keep the dressings in place and they always end up around my ankle.
So we do the usual routing of prontosan soak for 10 minutes, then she debrides and cleans as much as possible before i hit the ceiling then the top 1/4 of the wound gets touched.
then fucibet cream and a double layer of jelonet. gauze then xupad. the whole leg washed and greased. a patch put on the blister to try and get it healed.
...I've just realised how long ago it was I posted on my blog. Locovan will have words with me....
My life has carried on with 3 weekly treatments, so about 7 days between after recovering from one before getting bloods done for the next. My oncologist can't believe how quickly I have responded, so the cancer not only grows quick, it gets rid of it quick!. I am hopeful that after next week (treatment 6) I will be able to have a break, and enjoy some time being retired and feeling well........
My Mothers doctors and some nurses speak to us like we are fools and tell us lies about her treatment what the outcome maybe and how she is being cared for I have had to remind them to speak to me like an adult im 50 not 15 has anyone had this type of treatment from the hospital?
My Mother was under anaesthetic 3 for nearly 15 hours for the first week and a half post op she seemed fine but then she started saying some really strange things and she was fine before the operation. It has now been over 3 weeks and she seems to of got worse instead of better. She thinks the nurses are trying to kill her she is seeing water pouring through the ceiling she says someone is coming to slit her throat and thats just some of it. I was hoping someone could help me with some informati...
Well thats the first chemo out the way, have to say was a totally woos when I went into the room and seen these, what looked like dental chairs, broke down, thankfully had a wonderful person with me who was great. A full six hours later escaped!! Was on adrenellin for the rest of the night, had pictured projectile vomiting immediately. Didnt feel too bad the next day but just feel so tired and extreme joint and muscle pain, has anyone else had this and how long does it last!! Just taking one day...
Well, at least I managed to get throug the mri this time without a complete meltdown. Drugs certainly do help to calm the nerves, lol. And now we have the nervous wait to find out if the cancer is localised to the original spot, or has spread. Am not very good at this part. So many emotions have been bought back to the surface of the bubbling couldrin that is me, and all these new ones on top threaten to make me explode. Im so frustrated with myself, I know that we just have to stay calm and wait...
Hi I have just had a polyp removed from my anus, it came back as showing signs of invasive cancer. I had my appointment yesterday with the consultant, I was told that luckily the cancer has not travelled to any other parts of my body which I know is incredible, but and there always seems to be a but, he told me that I now had a decision to make.
In 90% of people with the same as myself the cancer is all gone when the polyp is removed but in 10% of people microscopic cancer cells have gone into the...
