Hi .
i have not posted anything on this site before as I didn t feel i knew enough about the subject to comment .
My husband was diagnosed 7th sept with grade 4 tonsil cancer which has spread to the back of the tongue ..we went through the usual bit of tonsils out followed by four teeth on the right side and then two regimes ..First one being week 1 week 4 and week 7 of taxotere , cisplatin and 5pu on a pump for 5 days ...The week of treatment was harsh with nausea and sickness no matter what...
I have just lost my loving husband to cancer of the gullet and am finding it really hard to come to terms with him not being around
I have been keeping an online blog for quite a while
http://cancerandbabyequalschaos.blogspot.com/
but i thought id add the posts here too so others in the same situation can see they are not alone. I hope it helps someone out there x
Massively pissed off right now. How does everyone else deal with people, and by people I mean close family members, who just don't seem to get what you are going through?
These last 2 months have been the most stressful and worrying of my life. My brother and his girlfriend came down to stay with me. I've spent most of my life dealing with depression and even though my brother was there through it all, he still never quiet understood. The last thing I need right now is more drama in my life...
Well 2010 ended with my partners brother getting a diagnosis of prostate cancer, caught early so the prognosis is a good one. Never the less a very scary word cancer to anyone who is told they have it.
My partner understands how things can work out having been beside me in my journey with this dreaded disease.
2010 also ended for me on a good note as I have finally got my date for my stoma reversal it is the 28th January so my journey will finally come to an end.
I would like to wish all my friends...
We went to hospital yesterday and results were that treatment is not working and cancer is on the move, particularly in the lungs! It also showed that Bob has infection in both lungs which he has started antibiotics for.
The most distressing thing for him at the moment is the constent episodes of coughing, agrivated by eating, even sometimes speaking.
Just wondered if anyone has any ideas to help settle these episodes.
We have tried steam inhalation, cough linctus, even oromorph, any other ideas...
My many thanks to all of you for Birthday Wishes, especially nic who has been a fab friend. This last year has been hard, but made so much easier by all the friends that have been made in mac chat and on the site. Without you lot I would of been lost. So to you all a happy New Year. Loves you all. xxxxxxxxx
Happy new year to all in mac land. Thank you for your support and advise over the past year. Can I again ask for advise, has anyone came across same symptoms. I have ovarian cancer that has gone to the liver. Problem is when I eat or drink anything get a pain on left side at waist and in left shoulder, doctor has suggested taking strong painkiller before eating but not making any difference. Eating enough to get by but just cant get rid of this pain. Many thanks. Marion.
Happy New Year to all on this site. Please God let it bring health and happiness to everyone!!
Best wishes
Babs
