does anyone know anything about this new trial for small cell lung cancer ?
Had a scan on Friday. Got results yesterday.
Went in to clinic expecting good news as I have felt so well. Came out thoroughly depressed.
Chemo (Cisplatin Etoposide) has stopped working on some of the tumours and others are appearing. Some are still shrinking. It looks like they are going to decide to stop my current chemo and they are considering an alternative chemo called Topotecan. Or, they might give me radiotherapy on some of the tumours. The one in my brain seems to worry them the most as its...
Well my pops ended up back in hospital yesterday because his stents blocked AGAIN. Hes fed up as its only been 9 days since it was last unblocked but the tumour is growing that fast it keeps covering it. He hates going in but its the best place for him even though he hates the food and being away from home.
On the plus side his brother in law has arrived even though he had problems due to the snow so i know he will be eager to get home to see him so lets hope they unblock it today and we get to...
exactly 1 year after starting along the weary cancer path, i first bumped my head with DWP who invited me to a back to work medical, i attended and i was told i was awarded incapacity until jan 2012, as some of you probably have i have also had bumped heads with several other government depts, i put up the good fight and follow the rules, but i always seem to lose, there seems to be a very real lack of understanding out there, ( even with some doctors, not everything is in a book) , this lack of understanding...

Hello everyone,
Firstly i would like to apologise to you all, i haven't been on here much and i now feel guilty as you were all here to support me when i needed it and then i disappear and don't do the same for you all, so please guys accept my apologies.
So how am i doing????
Great question.......I kind of feel as if i have gone from denial to acceptance without all of the other stages of grief in-between. I carry on as normal going through the motions ignoring the fact that i am 'supposed...
Hi all,
Well we in Kent have joined the rest of the country under a blanket of snow. I had my second chemo of cycle 5 yesterday and my lovely friend who drives me and my husband to all the appointments was determined I would get to the hospital in Maidstone. It took 35 minutes to get to the end of the next road from our house but we persevered and arrived only 15 minutes late. My treatment was started almost straight away (no low neutrophils this week thank goodness) and it all went very smoothly...

Just joined this online blog thing!!! I don't really know what i'm doing.
My husband was diagnosed with the Syndrome about 4 years ago. Things have been ticking along fine....3 months ago we were told it may be in his lungs now (he already has it in his gut and liver). A visit to the local A/E confirmed this....we were also told he has a big tumour on his Aeorta.
For some reason this has hit me very hard....I am terrified and want to run away. I can't cope with feeling what I'm feeling...
