I’m sending you an angel
I hope you’ll keep her near
She’ll help you through your sadness
She’ll help you through your fear
She’ll bring a little light
To your darkest day
She’ll guide you through the maze
and help you find your way
And sometime in the future
When you’re feeling strong
I hope you’ll take my angel
And gladly pass her on.

Mum went to the consultant today - brilliant news! He doesn't think the cancer is back. She will have to have a colonoscopy just to check out some inflammation, but he was sure it was not cancer. Yippee!!!!
Dad is getting better day by day. Next appointment end of the month. Fingers crossed. xx
Hello all, I have been reading a lot on this site for a while and have decided to bite the bullet and join in. I am 36 and in July after a chest infection which turned to phnemonia was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I am still cant believe this has happened to me, I lost my mum to lung cancer 9 years ago so have some idea of how this will pan out. Having said that I have had 4 cycles of chemo and feel great so at the moment feel like a bit of a fraud. I have a fab husband who is my rock and...

Wondering how women with Papillary Serous Adencarcinoma with clear cells Grade 111C cope with the poor survival rate they read about when they look it up on the internet? At the moment it seems there's a 33% chance of survival for us. Is this your reading? Has it improved? Would like to know more!
I tend to not automatically believe I will be the lucky 1 in 3. What kind of presumtious thinking is this:
"Oh of course it's going to be me. I'm so special, so strong, I know how to do this!...
Hello All
I had my Ivor Lewis on the 22nd June 2009, diagnosed on the 17th April, no one could complain about that, it started with me having hiccups and having problems swallowing after eating. My wife kept telling me to go to see the doctor’s but I wouldn’t go until thing got bad. I collapsed at work and was taken to hospital in an Ambulance. The doctor said it was probably an hiatus hernia and a endoscopy would confirm. It didn't and further tests would be needed, full body scan and pep scan...
Since my last blog l have found that my Cancer is back after having a ct scan. the cancer was small so we decided to wait a bit.
My C125 has since gone up again in three months so l will be having another scan in the next 4-6 weeks to see what to do.
I am also having family problems which l need to sort before having the chemo.
will update when l have more news.
Everything still going well after Bert's scare last week. Long may it continue.
No change in his blood counts though so will still be in for a while yet. We are expecting to hear from The Beatson soon Re the Bone Marrow Transplant and when they expect it all to happen. We seem to spend our lives waiting (as do all of you too) for results or appointments.
Love Teri
