After a bad patch, things are beginning to look up. My pain control regime has settled down and all symptoms are a little better. Secondary symptoms like constipation have responded to a gentle laxative for example. The best of all was when my four adult children arrived from various corners of the earth to sort out the home arrangements here.
Two of the children were due to come to the UK on business anyway. It just happened that their parents' crisis coincided with their planned visits. The...
My Dad was diagnosed suddenly with AML after seeing his doctor with a really bad infection. This was 4 weeks and 5 days ago. Having always been a very fit and healthy man, it has come as a massive shock to both him and all of the family. The first tests were done and we were told the course of action would be to have Chemo (be hit hard with it) for 10 days and then to see what to do from there on. He was told that it wasnt the worst strain of AML but when we asked specifically the type, we were not...
Hello,
I am sitting in bed, at 4.15am and I am not the remotest bit sleepy and my heart won’t stop pumping in over-drive so I think that I’ll write in here for a while. I hope it calms me, I am not even sure what I am exactly stressed about – all I know is that right this instant nothing will distract my brain or calm me so I thought I would just run with it. Like if you’re riding a horse that is chomping at the bit and spooking a lot, it’s really scary but sometimes if you say ‘go on then, just...
We went to the head and neck cancer support meeting last night and found a precious soul, Mike, who has been through it his self 3/4 years ago. It is sooo lucky we found him after our last encounter and not the other way around but maybe it was meant to be, to let us realise that we may have rough times ahead how ever much we try to kid ourselves that we will sail through it.
The tiny tiny hole that K has in his right nostril keeps blocking up already and when it does he says he feels so depressed...

In my ignorance I thought it would be a good idea to get someone to talk to my husband about how they had got over their RT and got on with their life. How wrong could I have been. He and his wife came over and - as if we weren't scared enough - they have made us so bad. I have been doing quite well but even I have a "hurt" between my ribs now and as for my dear sweet sensitive husband... he says he can't go through it now and I have NO idea what to say to him. Where do we go from here?...
Hi Everyone
My mum went for a spine scan last Tuesday. Results came back yesterday....
They have found a mass in the soft tissues in her shoulder, this is obviously what has been causing her so much pain.
They have said she can have radiotherapy and booked her in for a consultation in December. We are happy they can finally give her something however we are all still a little apprehensive, scared and nervous as we do not know what to expect as we have always been told there is no treatment.
Can anyone...
