    It's starting to hit me!
    Hi all, I'm still in a weird mood lately, I think with Mum's op and everything coming it's definatly starting to hit me....I cant really deny the fact anymore that Mum's got Cancer. I am blubbing nearly everyday (And that's not like me!) I want to kill everyone i see or talk to, I dont want to get out of bed and i have the sudden urge to get very heavily drunk all the time. So with me feeling like this...God Mum must be feeling bad!! I just had this sudden urge to clean the kitchen so i did (But...

    Jokes and all
    I have just caught up with today's blogs. From the heated comments, is seems more than a few feathers have been ruffled. It is encouraging to see that so much good sense has prevailed and if anything positive can result from the sorry mess, it is that we all need to be sensitive to others' feelings when posting on the site. I first posted almost a year ago, in the depths of despair when my husband was given a terminal diagnosis. I have come to realise that we all have different needs at different...

    MRI results back.
    MRI results back today at last. Tumour is bigger than at first thought, is 3.5cm with ill defined edges and appears to have grown (knew it!) since the last time I saw him 2 weeks ago. To me that doesn't sound good! Said my options were, chemo first to try and shrink it then have excision, or mastectomy (which he recommended, as high grade and invasive) Also said they could reconstruct there and then, or later. Advised against instant reconstruction as if have radiotherapy could cause problems to...

    a leetle update
    Afternoon all, Well the Consultant rang back this afternoon. I will be hearing from hospital with an appointment for next week for the fitting of the hickman line. Surprise was that they're keeping me in and starting the IVE chemo the following day. This involves 3/4 days being hooked up. If everything goes well, they'll let me out for 2/3 days then back in for observation when my bloods drop. There'll be a CT scan after the first cycle to check it's having the desired effect. After the 2nd cycle...

    Triple Negative
    I found out yesterday that i am 'triple negative' so will not be receptive to Herceptin following chemo and surgery. Having read up on this am still none the wiser really as to how i will be treated , if at all, in the future???? Also have read about how you can test as being 'negative' when you are pregnant as you have so many hormones frolicking in your body anyway. So uncertainty still reigns - until i speak to lovely Dr Jones in 2 weeks. ???? Sally Determined to fight this.... :b...

    This is a Cancer Website

    I have never posted a blog before, today I am because I am so outraged by what I have been reading in the blogs today. I am posting this in support of those of us who are sick to the back teeth of the actions of a thoughtless few who day after day continue to post Jokes (although most of them barely qualify as that they are so pathetic and crass). I am absolutely appalled at the behaviour of some people and their nastiness towards others here, and don't for a moment believe comments like ...

    Chuffed today!
    Morning all. My internet went off early last night (boo).It's back now (hurray). Kids set off for Leeds Festival at about 8.30("C'moooon, Dad!" - OH is late for just about everything - drives the rest of us nuts) and won't be back til Monday night. They'll sleep all day Tuesday so I should see them Wednesday afternoon... Their English GCSE results arrived just after they left - A and A*! I'm so pleased for them cos there was no home-edding going on for 2 months at all after my diagnosis in January...

    Goodbye Ricky
    It is with great sadness that I have been asked to inform Ricky (Pollensarick) friends that he sadly lost his fight. He truly was a great person, a lovely friend and a great support to many on this site. He will be greatly missed.... my sincere condolences go to Pat, Barry and all his family at this time I cannot say anymore....... apart from Goodbye Ricky xxxxxxx

    Carcinoid
    As you will see from my profile I am recently diagnosed with carcinoid. I have now had my bone scan done but still dont have an appt with the oncologist. I really feel this is so unfair, your all stressed out as it is, then they keep you hanging around. Wonder what it is in my thyroid probably carcinoid, but it seems I have to hang around again to find out. Sorry feeling rather sorry for myself at the moment. Take care all xx
