Hi just to say a big thank you to all those who contact me on this site or Facebook. So today I go for radiotheray measurements and receive my tattoos! treatment starts May2nd, bank holiday!
I must say that some of the links to this site from emails are a little tricky and so if I haven't got back to you blame it on technology!
take care all,
in love and light,

I was supposed to get my new obturator today but it wasnt made right so after an hour of trying i have to wait till next week!
I was feeling really good and quite positive and in my head had the idea of only radiotherapy at a local hospital, today i find i need chemo and rt and in London which means 4 hours in the car or a B&B.
I had a howling session in the car on the way home then decided i wasnt going to be a sad sack and was going to get on with the next two weeks until chemo starts.
...Todays another day.Had couple of days with bad trapped wind!Anyway ok today.Been awfully tired and appetite still the same but not in so much pain from wound so must be improving.Weather warmer today so will have wander in garden later.

The sound of the chemo running through my head is deafening. I feel as if I am a passenger on an early space shuttle, we are taking off and I have been strapped to a reclining seat.

Now in flight, my chair is wheeled into a sealed room, the walls of which are lined from floor to ceiling...
The past couple of weeks have been very stressfull. Julie developed new pains on the opposite side of her back, had more radio a couple of days ago, but the increase in pain levels has meant she's been admitted to LOROS Hospice to try and get a better pain management plan in place.
An initial examination suggests that the Ribs could now be affected with Mets but we won't know for certain until she gets scanned.
We are both getting very tired...........

Hi all, not sure if Im putting this in the right place, but I have a question for all you ladies, thought it a bit too personal for chat.
