Well it’s nearly Monday 5th November when I have my scan,
and I have managed to largely forget about cancer for the last 12 weeks as they
left me without any treatment (which I was pleased about).
Recurrent cancer in my pelvis feb 2012 chemo booked twice but
cancelled as I managed to get surgery to remove this in June. Scan August
showing lung mets 6 tiny ones and two others, left me 6 weeks to see if these
little ones are growing, next scan showed 2 larger ones had grown so this is

(And i know you try to write positive stuff but you can't escape this one, can you.) So you're probably a bit tired, probably a bit below par, probably got too much to do. You were probably living on a high, after realising you actually know some lovely people.
But you weren't expecting that, were you? The express train from the tunnel of hell which slammed...
On Monday, the carer woke me and me mum up at 2am saying she has phoned a doctor because my nan was so wound up and wouldn't settle or sleep.

Our GP came over and agreed with the other doctor and she was sent to a local hospital. They tested her water and said it was clear and a few hours later a doctor walked in, checked her chest then said I think it is...
