Hi there,
Not sure I will do this every day and might just end up being silly on our new thread which you are so welcome to join... it 's called.. Oh for goodness sake, what has happened to my memory??? Sorry, that's not the name at all ha ha I can't bleedin remember anything anymore since I started this effing cancer lark... it really REALLY bugs me... still forging on, i'll go and find out and be back in a mo...
Hope you are impressed... I opened up a new tab and had a look there...
After being told in Feb this year that one of my tumours had grown again, (I had 6 months of chemo in 2009) I was overjoyed to learn that I may be suitable for cyberknife as it seems that only this tumour is active. Being under one of the NHS London hospitals that were getting a cyberknife machine this summer, I felt that another 6 mnths of chemo to try and shrink it back down again first, would be worth it if it could be obliterated completely. then I started hearing all the rumblings about funding,...
Found out yesterday that my husbands sister is not a stem cell match for him! He took in quite badly actually - more panicky than anything, saying things like ... what if they cant find anyone.
I guess we move to the donor register now! Chemo begins 9th August

I feel this is slightly misleading "cancer experiences" doesn't quite fit someone who's in remission. I'm not quite sure how to start this or how to say what I want to say so apologies if I ramble somewhat.
Really I think I want this post to be a big smile because this week for the first time I had a muscle pain and didn't think it was cancer.
When I realised that I completely accepted and wasn't worried about my physio's diagnosis of a problem in my good shoulder it...
Seeing as I inflicted you all with my moaning and whining the other day about nowt really, I thought I would write some non-whiney stuff.... not sure if you will make it to the end or not, but it's good for me and you don't have to read it do you, so... here goes again....
Have you ever noticed how in every leaflet etc you are given about cancer, treatment etc , everyone in it is gardening and usually dead-heading roses..?. So much for finding a new rebellion- seems I have a future of pruning...
Everything was going to be okay, just a dark tunnel to go through but they always say there is light at the end of the tunnel. Putting on my brave face i took in the fact that it was cancer and that it was going to be a struggle but just kept thinking of how it was just going to take up a year of my life then i would get rid and live happily ever after...but lifes never that easy.
A few days ago i had an appointment with my surgeon whom was going to be removing my stomach. I was nervous because this...
So on Sunday I was admitted to Hospital in York with back pain so bad that even a dose of morphine didnt last longer than 1 hour.. turns out I had a kidney infection.. not bad you think what you complaining about right?? well heres the kicker while looking into the kidneys they find a mass on my cervix that they were a little worried about.. so on Wednesday I went for a biposy and the Doc pushed for the results to be done as fast as possible.. he got them turned around in 24 hours..Sadly it confermed...
Its just over a week since Julie left.
I have shed a lot of tears with friends and family
I have arranged for the funeral at Nuneaton Crem on 25th at 12.45am.
I went today to say goodbye and hold her hand for the last time.
I left a photo of the grand children in her hand and placed a bracelet round her wrist that our grand daughter had made. She is only nine but is strong enough to console Julies mum when she arrived back from the Chapel of Rest, distraught.
I have kept myself busy to try...
I hate the feling of loanliness, even the manger of the place i live surprised me that she has rented the flat without sending me any notice, dont know what to do,, am struglling, cannot afford a soliciter,
Every thing sees to go against me, I cannot focus on my study, I feel vulnearble,
After all those fanstasitc replies and wishes and being with me, thought I had better get on and let you know how it went!
Well, having you lot with me really helped no end and I giggled in the car the whole way there thinking of saying right you arses.... instead of filling my bag so that was a good start...
They were late arriving and it went on for 4hours!!!!! and as it was wrapping up I said to them, I have to go now or I will vomit on the table and I wasn't joking! My head was splitting and...
