  I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head

  So it’s been a little while since I’ve been on here to post. There’s been a lot going on in that time and to be honest I feel like it just all got on top of me for a while. Sharing my doom and gloom feelings while I was still feelin...

  So long, seventh saroma!

  My seventh saroma will hopefully be my very last one. Because I have had more than enough of these, thank you. Otherwise I may soon receive the gift of a steroid injection in my chest cavity. Which doesn’t sound too lovely, to be honest. Even ...

• A trip with triple negative breast cancer

  Second oncology appointment

  I returned to the oncology department and this time met the lead consultant for breast oncology. This felt a much better meeting where I got more personalised input on my cancer risk and on my likelihood of tolerating chemo. Main areas of risk are th...

  Time

  End of April update (2022)

  Hi, 

  I said that I would keep everyone informed of how it went with the Oncologist... 

  This appointment was a face to face conversation for Dal and his Oncologist, as previously mentioned Dal is doing amazingly well and he has been told that whilst he is able to continue to manage the Chemo/Targetted therapy as well as he is, he will continue with this treatment. 

  All Dal's bloods are good, actually they are amazing, based on his original markers in May2020   

  May 2020 blood-markers were  - CA19.9...

  Steve E

  On 22nd December 2021 I had a operation to remove a tumor in my bladder. Then I was told it was caught early and it was a aggressive type tumor. I then went for 6 weeks of BCG treatment.  Today on 29th April 2022 I had a cystoscope only to find ...
