Im all very new to this blog stuff so forgive me if i ramble !
My journey began last November (2017) when i found a "tiny" lump in my right breast. It was getting near christmas, my new career was just getting started and i felt better than i had in years having been suddenly widowed a few years earlier. The GPs were always busy, you always end end getting something in their waiting rooms, don`t you? So I left it a few weeks to see if it would disappear. No it didnt, so off i went, aghh...
Hello
I'm new to this and have never used any site like this before. By chance just after Christmas I found a tiny lump on the back of my neck, my doctor said it was nothing to worry about but he'd send me for a scan anyway. Cut a long story short that lump was fine but they found lumps in my thyroid. 5 weeks ago I had my right side of my thyroid removed. I've now been diagnosed with pt3 follicular papillary thyroid carcinoma. It's all been so quick it's almost like a blur. In the space of...

Life is a beach, or so they say, and then you die.
Mine’s actually quite a nice beach, and I’m not dead yet, not by any stretch of the imagination; my beach admittedly has a bit of pollution, but that’s largely been my own fault and now I’m older I look after it better, try to keep it clean, and I’m sure its gradually improving.
But I do have one big problem with my beach. Well, it’s actually a problem in the water. There is something in it. A shadow. Not a terribly...
Hello - I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Renal Cancer last February. Initially, I was prescribed Sunitinib which I had to stop after one tablet due to a severe allergic reaction. I am now taking Fotivda/Tivozanib a TKI. First one will be later this evening. I would be really grateful to learn of other experiences and any do's and don'ts
Thanks

So I went to my GP for numerous ear infections & mentioned the “belated happy 40th” sun spot!! She booked me in the following week & referred me straight away!
The following day I was booked in & that Wednesday a week later I had been told you’ve cancer but not a worrying one! My heart stopped I felt sick & my husband sat there listening & took it in - I then had a biopsy which was painful , however I swept it under the carpet 
Then the wait for the biopsy & it hit...
Back at the start of 2018 i was a newly married 27 yer old, looking forward to an amazing honeymoon and I'd just found out I was expecting my first baby. Things were absolutely amazing, until all of a sudden they weren't.
I havnt spoken about my Bladder Cancer diagnosis on this site yet but have been reading it ever since my diagnosis and have found it a great support. May is Bladder Cancer awareness month so it seemed like a good time to share my story. I have also started my own blog: https...
Hi everyone,
Thanks for coming to my blog. I hope the information below will shed light for individuals or family members of those about to go through a journey similar to mine. Please do contact me for any questions as I'd be more than happy to answer and elucidate anything, or if you just want to have a chat, I'll be on here every few days when I can to offer my support. I will reply to everyone, but apologies if during my chemotherapy I take a bit longer to reply.
This was originally...
Morning all!
Just thought I’d pop a post on to share the news I got on Monday of this week which will hopefully give some people who are in a dark place or feel down, some positivity and light.
I was originally diagnosed with TC on 26th October 2016, which was at Stage 1. After an orchidectomy and one shot of Carboplatin I entered remission.
My annual CT scan in December showed mets to my lymph nodes, and I was now at Stage 2 TC - the fight was back on and, in January this year...
I just finished the week of Temolozide. Every month my tiredness and nausea gets slightly worse (slept into 11am this morning). Didn’t leave the house for anything this week as too tired.
Next week I should slowly get better and then have two good weeks before we start the chemo ground hog month again.
