Mo had some visitors today firstly my mum came around this morning to see her and bought us lunch.Mo fancied a burger today so I went to the grill takeaway just up the road from our home.Mo thoroughly enjoyed her burger & fries she got in a bit of a mess but 'what the heck'.Its good to see her eat well and be normal...momentarily! Later on her best friend Carol, for over 35 years visited late afternoon,this was a 'biggy'as it was the first time she had seen Mo since we told her about the cancer but...
Heard from St Michaels hospice today at last!! they are coming up tomorrow afternoon to see what services they can offer Mo & myself.The Oncology Dept at the Conquest also contacted me today and we are due to see her,I think its a her,Dr Sadler,on Monday morning at 10am.Luckily there was a cancellation otherwise Mo would of had to wait a further two weeks for an appointment and time is of the essence especially with Mo's incurable cancer.
Its 2.30 am Mo got up to go to the toilet,not a major problem pretty normal for ev1,get up,have a pee then back to bed,no probs except when you have a tumour.The simple task of going to the toilet sets you,the carer, on alert & immediately you wake up."What's he/she doing,where are you going?"you ask them but they don't even know themselves "Why!" they can't even give you an answer not even a straight one,its upsetting.Then if by any chance you don't hear or feel them getting up and you look in the...
My Mum has terminal lung cancer and is just starting round 6 of 6 chemos - we have been told that we will have some radiotherapy after that.....but we are scared...then what??? Do we just wait for the cancer to do its worst???
I know Sunny says this will be the longest blog in history, but I think it might be my shortest as to be honest I am speechless!
ha ha fat chance of that... but might not be too funny etc cos my head is spinning
I was crapping myself this morning. yeah, we guessed you would be, you say..
No. I was crapping myself this morning! Literally!
So. I have a bag and a Sunday best bum kept polished and shiny clean for GC (except for the odd Rolo or 5) so I get up this morning and run to the loo and hmmmm...
I used to love fair ground rides - then i got vertigo and they made me feel sick.
I feel a bit like I'm on a roller coaster ride now. One minute I think - 'Yep I can deal with this. It is early days, it may not be anything serious' I carry on positively. The next minute I think 'OMG how am I going to cope what if ...' and the mind races off into areas that really are not good! It is such a weird feeling.
On the plus side my appetite has gone - having put on a little weight over...
Hi all thanx for being around . Im glad alot of people r getting good news and help . sorry im still strugling and feel realy angry as i cant seem to accept that my mum might not be around soon , I go to see my own gp twice a week as my reaction to mums untreatable terminal lung cancer is rely scary and he is realy concerned i cant let myself think of her not being around when ever i speak to her or see her she sounds so bloody normal . Last nights conversation was Dorothy house contacted me today...
Well mum went into hospital today for her hickman line putting in :) treatment will be easier from here on in!
She received her first treatment today - not chemo but a 3 hour radioisotope infusion to help with the pain in her bones.
To be honest I have no idea if or when they will start chemo every time I've asked in the last week they just keep saying they are waiting to know from the big hospital which treatment will suit her best. It's that pesky little voice in my head that keeps shouting...
Well, let's see...
I went to work, it was a nice quiet day so did some admin/organising
stuff, Liz the counsellor lady that appeared when I decided the centre
needed one (grins, I like the way the Universe works) took me for
lunch, sorted out some training, picked Deri up, dropped Megan at work,
had dinner, Pam came to see me, arranged lunch with Lynne on Sat, and
its 10 pm and I'm not feeling shit! :))
BUT< I will still go to bed before 11 anyway to keep feeling good
:)Mum tried...
