My son's girlfriend gave birth this morning to a healthy girl. Mother and baby are doing well. Steve would have loved this. At last I have some good news to celebrate
Ron has had his first chemo session at home. This is very comforting but surely is not at all cost effective. We picked up various medicins from the pharmacy yesterday(I think that we should be due some sort of pressie for the amount of business we have put their way) Today a "black box" was delivered, a bit like a tool box, and the nurse turned up witha further carrier bag full of bits. The actual biz took abouth 1 1/2 hours. Further nurse intervention will be ongoing for several days. ...
Getting close to the end of treatment now and that's what I'm focusing on. I'm tired and the skin is sore but I'm nearly done.
Today has been quite uneventful. Got the train, got there early. Got in for treatment, came home. fell asleep on the sofa. Went to pick the girls up from school. Then the madness began. How can they eat so much? Where do they put it all. My 5 year old can eat her weight in chocolate but try to get her to eat fruit and it's like pulling teeth!!!
I have...

My friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer late November/early December 2009. She didn't tell me until Boxing day (and she hasn't told her parents at all!) - she said she didn't want to spoil my christmas.She told me she would have to have the ovary surgically removed.(she only had the one ovary as she had the other and womb removed years earlier for other non-cancer related problems) I was devastated for my friend and offered her all the help & support she felt she needed from me. I then...

Considering exploring the Cyber Knife option but i don't have private insurance.
is it possible to have Cyber Knife treatment privately and then return to the NHS for treatment after?
would appreciate any information.
My six weeks will be finished on 22/03/10.
No, it doesn't hurt at all, can't feel any heat or anything strange.
If you have transport arranged by the hospital you may be waiting around, a lot, but it's a chance to get to know other patients 0: )x
Be prepared to feel very tired.
I have noticed that my chest is beginning to look a bit red and is slightly sore to the touch. Not badly and not enough to mention to any nurses etc, but I can see and feel a difference. Also I can't breath in deeply. hurts to sneeze, so maybe something is burning my lungs. Nothing major. Nothing to complain about, just wanted to note it for future reference really. When The girls came with me last week, Charlotte wore her pedometer and worked out, between the 2 trains we walked 2 miles each...
Late appointment today (16:00) so had to arrange for the girls to go to Grandmas for tea. So what do I do with my day then?? Long hot bath, with a cuppa and my book. Not allowed bubble bath etc but it was nice to just veg instead of rushing around.
So got train at 2ish and got to the hospital in time. The room I normally get treated in is being serviced so I'm in a different room with different staff. We were all talking in the waiting room about side affects. We all said it's not as bad as we...
10th March 2010.
February went by almost unnoticed and I have been really busy working with my son to try and get him through his last term at college. I've really enjoyed learning again, so much so that I've taken the bull by the horns and contacted Bridgwater college in the hope of securing a City and Guilds Dipolma course starting September 2010 for Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, with an extention of Complimentry therapy. Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew. Waiting for...
