I am so mad as i write this. My partner dropped off my hospital letter this morning to the GP surgery following my operation. He also took a form for the GP to stamp so we can claim back the money for our cancelled holiday.
They wanted to charge him £25.00 just to bludy well stamp it and for the doctors signature what a flamin stinking cheek! He told them what to do with it. My surgeon has kindly provided a written letter with no charge attached, and was more than happy to do so!
How on earth...

Ok, I don't really know what your ment to put on these but here goes:
My partner has got cancer, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma to be exact. It started off as Hodgkins Lymphoma til we went to UCL in London to be told it had been mis-diagnosed. We've not been together long, but I knew about his cancer before we started dating. He had just finished his course of ABVD, he then had to have ESHAP because although the ABVD had shrunk it, it had grown with a vengeance after three months. We then found that throughout...
Ok, so here is the latest. After reaching no remission in 3 years despite various concoctions being injected into my husband he is now going to receive Donor Stem Cell Transplant in anticipation of and I quote the oncologist here "a complete cure"!!!! He goes into hospital in August to have Eshap chemo, he stays in for 5 days and then comes home for 2/3 weeks then goes in again for another 5 days and has another lot. After this stem cell transplant is organised hopefully using his sisters...
I don't know if i'm using this site right. I've got blogs and comments all over the place. Sort of sounds like my family at the moment.
My dad reacted to the news well on Thursday. on Friday it hit him. It broke my heart to hear him cry and say he had so much he needed to tell his 6 year old grandson.
Your emotions and thoughts fly all over the place don't they? Yesterday we were talking about a big family holiday in a couple of years. I just pray the op they can do is the one that...
Manged to push enough drugs into the system to get to see my youngest son arrive at his prom.He knew how hard it was for me to get there and how rough i must have been feeling, he immediatelt came over to me gave me a massive hug and said thaks mum for coming. I have no idea how i managed not to cry my eyes out i was so moved and emotional. Even more amazing is that they diagnosed him when he was 3 with Autusim and the prognosis was not good, 13 years on and he looks like to be getting 8 or so GCSE...

I often feel guilty browsing the Mac site and wondering if I trully belong here, but have no where else to vent my thoughts and frustations at a condition cancer that isn't a cancer - if that makes any sense - given that the tumor's are agressive and invasive; can recur; but the big plus is that do not spread; and certainly where mine was located, is not life threatening. So before I proceed I apologise in advance if you feel I shouldn't be blogging here, simply press your 'Back' button and...
Hello mates hope you are all doing well, I have missed you whilst at the medical mansion.
Well the op is over and i am thrilled to say it was a success as was my breast reconstruction. Still very sore, swollen and achey but Im home and on the road to recovery so i can commence the next part of my journey.
The care and attention i was given at Walsgrave Hospital was second to none and i cannot say enough about the whole experience. It almost seems as if this little part of the journey was absolutely...
