My mum has been given a month to live last monday and the consultant at Clatterbridge Hospital on the Wirral promised contact by a macmillan nurse asap .
We have heard nothing and I am dismayed at the disconnect not only with the GP Oncology dept and breast unit but also with the referral to macmillan nurses .
This is our first experience and although the reputation locally of the macmillan nurses is less than impressive I have now experienced it for ourselves .
Why are we receiving no support ?...
My head is always spinning, my brain constantly working through so many scenarios, trying desperately to find the best one.

After 13 nights, (a day early), finally time to leave the Harley Street Clinic and head home – ironic given i now have the look of a homeless about me!
It would be easy to wax lyrical here about how wonderful all the staff/treatment was and how in a way I’m sad to leave the safety of the coccoon that’s got me through the last 2 weeks. Boll@cks to that, I can’t wait to get out of the place. Don’t get me wrong, what my surgeons were able to do was incredible...
Using this site as a way to vent the feelings you can't seem to burden family and friends with. My family and friends are all used to me doing the running about and caring that they seem to be taking theses words breast cancer hard so I am holding it together for them.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram (first as turned 50 in November 2016) which was so lucky as I have a lumpy left breast anyway and had noticed a change and pain but put it down to possible change...
Well a few days have past since I attempted my first blog. I do most things on my phone and it is taking me a while to get to grips with how this sight works on my mobile.
It's funny how you take eyelashes and eyebrows for granted and you do not miss them until they're actually gone. It is only the last week or so that I started losing my lashes and today I noticed that I have literally one or two lashes left. My eye feels bare and the upper lid is sticking to the lower eyelid since there is no hair. It is the most strangest feeling. I am not getting on too well with false eyelashes ... The eyebrows are non existent but they are fairly easy to pencil in.
...Hello everyone.
So I have decided to write about my experience so far , as I have so much going on in my head I need to talk to someone and feel my family just don't get it.
years ago I was told I had a benign optic chiasm glioma. And at my age it was very rare and that because it wasn't causing any trouble they would just monitor it. To which I wasn't upset and knowing what I know now. I should of been.
8 months later I had a routine MRI and now told it's milignant and I need...
I started chemo last week. My nose has become a dripping tap, my tummy is a pin cushion and I am enjoying the fact I have hair for now.
I have no idea what I am doing. I have never blogged before and I have no idea if it will help.
Tomorrow I start the last leg of the treatment plan and commence radiotherapy. After this, I will just need to go for regular checks and pop a pill each day for the next 10 years. Sounds easy.
