on saturday my daughter jazmin went in to have blood counts done and her white blood counts where low. she asked if an ear infection could cause this because if so she thought she might have one. the answer was yes and sure enough jazmin had an ear infection. so we went home with some antibiotics and were going to go back later and keep her at home. then on monday she started saying everything sounded very loud, she kept telling us to be quiet and was walking around whispering. i asked if her ear...
Been a while since i was on here last , my mother in law had cancer, and sadly passed away after 3weeks from being diagnosed, now my father.
He was diaginosed with oesophagus cancer in September last year, but due to poor health (stroke 8yrs ago) no treatment apart from pallitive care offered, upto a month or so ago he was doing well, but now on morphine for the pain, and becoming weaker, he has lost weight, but his stomach is like a 9mth pregnant woman, we have good days and bad, and emotions are...
Well what a last few days we have had
I'm Not feeling to good today, feel a bit sick and Ive got a sore throat and a upset tummy. Its been a busy old week at work so far, its my week of lates so I do long working days so I'm feeling pretty crap really.
Not sure what to do about my mom, its hardly surprising but I think she's really depressed, Ive tried to talk to her but she just putting up a brick wall. I'm hoping she will pull her self out of it but I really dont know what to do...
Well its MRi day tomorrow and although i am relieved its here I am a scaredy cat too. I am imagining all kinds of horrors too ridiculous to mention in fact. All of a sudden I have become an expert and know in advance what they will say!!!! Wont know any of that until Friday and its agonising. I know that i have many many hurdles to overcome and in the scheme of things this is a relative small hurdle. ( i was rubbish at hurdles at school)
I am trying very hard to be relaxed and give the impression...
Had my first taste of a counselling session this afternoon

Well, I did think I'd need it early, but the cancer nurse has now arranged an early CT scan for me in view of my raised CA125 results before my last treatment last week. I had the full course anyway, so naturally my body is pumped full of drugs at the moment, and hopefully they have done something short term, but by Friday whatever the problem is had better be on show, or else it will be a waste of time. It took a few days last treatment before I realised things were not quite as they should...
In the last hour I've felt such an enormous sense of relief - I hadn't apprecitated how much stress had built up over the last four weeks. After my walk yesterday I called the Dr's secretary who confirmed my results were in but as he was in theatre for the rest of the afternoon was unlikely to call me before Tuesday. So one more restless night and a long morning but I eventually received his call just before 1pm.
The tumor is benign - of which he is confident - called a fibromatosis...
