Well it says 'discription', so that is where I'll start. I've always had a very unhealthy relationship with mother, she's not really showed much love towards me in fact in my teenage memories are of her being jealous of me and hurling abuse at me whenever the mood took her..So that's how I would describe my relationship with her....Difficult. Mother was diagnosed with this brain tumour after having several falls and a seriously bad attitude problem (worse than usual)! So after the initial shock...
Is it ok to feel happy? Is it ok to feel excited? Maybe its just a high from all the jelly babies.
I woke up with that same Monday morning feeling, is the weekend really over again already? Just another day at work. I enjoy my job, I enjoy my friends... and most importantly its a distraction. They say a smile is contagious. Katie smiles like a cheshire cat all day long so its difficult not to be happy around her. Today I feel like I've been too happy though. Too happy and too excitable. Like...
My Dad found out he had cancer in May 2011, of the oesophagus. I hadn't seen him properly for 4 years and on and off for 3 years before that. My bf took me up to the hospital to visit him, on his Birsthday. What I thought was one of the hardest things. But actually, today has so far been my worst through this horrible fight. My Dad has caught a chest infection and has severe amounts of fluid in his lungs. To save the upheaval of taking him to an NHS hospital for antibiotics through the vein which...
district nurse came today to drain my lung......so tomorrow should be a good breathing day....
it's 5 days since the radiostactic radiation therapy I had and she said that my head will be most swelled up now and should start to ease off soon...
my forehead is looking a bit 'tanned' as well......
but...good news....apparently when i start chemo for my lung....it may heal up the gap in it a bit and i might not need it draining as much...
We all need things to look forward to....whether...
Hi ...
My partner who has Multiple Myeloma has just had his first dose of Pamidronate, bone strengthening infusion and I was wondering if anyone has had these and if so...how you felt etc? Melvin (my partner) is feeling quite rough three days later....feverish and chills, nausea.
Look forward to hearing from you.... Take care Kerry x
My dad is sleeping a lot at the moment.
I read him a few chapters of The Magic Faraway Tree a few nights ago, the story he read to me and my brother night after night when we were young. It meant so much to me. But it was the ultimate bedtime story, knocked him out for days! I didn't see him awake for 2 days after that. You would think I would have learnt my lesson... but when I finally got some time with him last night I read him a few more chapters, and now he is back frolicking in the land...
Round 4 came and went between Christmas and New Year - relatively easy and then we enjoyed New year and the following week of holiday.
Then at the weekend before school starts my body decided to crumble. An enormous ulcer on the side of my tongue gave me an instant sppech impediment and then a painful lump appeared on the back of my left hand disabling my ability to write!
A nice young Indiandoctor in A&E xrayed it and told me it was a ganglion which was ironic for an RE teacher as tradition has...
Well, nothing to do with my C but the last two days have been horrendous.
My lovely 12 year old whippet collie fell ill on Thursday, vets on Friday for barium xrays, another xray this morning to be told she had a tumour in her bowels.
The prognosis for recovery after an op was not good so we sadly had to make the hardest decision to stop her suffering.
So far this year of 2012 and been the worst ever - first my diagnosis and now losing my lovely Bubble.
I really cannot stop crying, she was always...
