Well.............. Here's a happier blog post............
Followers will know that I have been away for a few days, for a deserving re-charge of my batteries.
While I was away, Mum had an appointment with the oncologist and they reviewed how the chemo was going.
They said that the cancer in all areas (lung, lymph nodes and adrenal glands) was responding to chemo and actually shrinking! They used the word remission, but I must stress before we get excited that it just means that its under better...
So life at home goes something like this
So been up since 3.30am and I'm still wide awake and now up and doing something that should have been done ages ago but wasn't because I wrote and 'lost 'it in March and couldn't face writing it again. I've just thought to look in the Recycle Bin...Hope it helps someone... Monday February 22nd So when I said my temperature was normal, I lied J . It hit 38.5 during the night and although it dropped again at the next reading, they weren’t taking any chances and all the old...
hi
how wonderful the nurses and doctor was at QA hospital . didnt know what to expect . Made me feel at home the minute i started the treatment by the end of the day had them running around in fits of laughter
Just over a week ago my dad was diagnosed with liver cancer, and told there is nothing that can be done. He has been referred for palliative care.
The news was a shock. How can this reach such a point so quickly? A few weeks ago he complained of stomach pains and thought it might be an ulcer. He has had liver problems in the past. Successfully treated I thought. It turns out that wasn't the case - there was no cure before, only a delay. His skin quickly turned yellow and his GP surgery referred...
Hi all
On Monday it's my three monthly Onc check up, it only seems like a month since the last one, so this means another routine CT no doubt (but of course that's a good thing). I know I'm far from being the only one, but I always dread these appointments, it's like having to face up to the reality of what's lurking around my body - thankfully 'under control' at present, waiting to pounce? (If I stop my daily affirmations, taking the happy pills, having Reiki, dancing...
Hi,
Well my name is Anne (53), married 31 years with 3 sons and living in Aberdeen. My eldest son gave us our 1st grandchild 2 weeks ago, young Tommy & my middle son gets married in one week's time, a week to the day since my diagnosis.
I felt bad that this thing was to cause them hurt in such happy times in their lives but it's not something i had any choice in!
15th July 2010: a change in my normal routine of BM took me to the GP
7th Aug: colonoscopy gave me an immediate diagnosis...
Lots happening this week. Dad was taken into hopsital on sunday and had 2 transfusions to 'boost him up' on Monday (Mum's b'day). We got him home in the evening but he looked no better! He was beginning to perk up by wednesday and saw the gp to get ball rolling regarding hospice introduction.
I can totally understand why he doesn't want to think of it at the moment but he needs to realise they can help in the interim, not solely at the end, it would help mum catch some hours here...
