This Monday I have my first check up with the breast clinic now feeling quite nervious about it .
In april 2010 I went there feeling well but I had a little lump and being 42 I wasn't to worried about it but then the arse fell out of the world I knew , when he told me I had cancer .I have learnt alot since then like who my real friends are and I'm greatful for that i will cherish them all for ever.
The rollercoaster ride started, tests, scans lumpectomy thinking I would just need radiation...
Quick update: My frequent trips to the loo culminated in massive pain/discomfort in the bladder region and in the lower back and needing the loo constantly. I ended up seeing an out of hours doctor who tested my urine and said it was an infection due to evidence of blood and proteins. No idea whether this was aggravated by my current health issues or totally incidental.
I'm seeing my GP on Tuesday and will emphasise, given all the symptoms, that I believe an urgent referral is crucial. Wish me...
I'd like to talk to people in Scotland regarding cancer diagnoses whether it be themselve or if they are a carer as I now find myself.
My husband has always been quite healthy appart his Chrohns of which he has had since childhood, needless to say he never complains, when he was diagnosed end September last year even then I couldn,t believe how he has dealt with this. I find people in this situation totally amazing their courage and the way they just try to keep such a positive attiitude is fantastic...

While we sat at home waiting for the GP and nurses to turn up i had...
Mum is now in hospital - she's been in since Tuesday evening....she had deteriorated very quickly and is now struggling to breathe - they are trying to make her as comfortable as possible - but its just so hard watching her.
I know in my last post i said about the suffering and i wish it would end - well now i mean it even more - i wish and hope she feels ready to go. I always say i'm ready for it to happen but everytime something else happens and get a phone call saying mum has got worse i...
Sadly Colin past away peacefully yesterday morning, Colin was the bravest man i have ever met, and i was lucky enough to be granted permission to marry his Daughter 10 years ago, we gave him 3 Grand children and he loved spending time with them. RIP Colin you will be sadly missed by so many people.. I'm so sorry i have to give out this news..
Hi new to this so sorry if im inthe wrong place.
My mum has just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer which has metastised to the brain. The oncologist, who suggested that mum may only have weeks left here (although i have no idea how long weeks is) is not going to give any treatment apart from steroids to reduce the swelling. She also had a major stroke 5 years ago which has left her relatively blind - only sees shadows and faces up close and a little confused - but can understand everything...
