The day I had been waiting for came and this time my fiance came with me. I went for my scans first and there was some confusion over having both a mammogram and ultrasound again as I'd only been booked in for the ultrasound. The poor nurses ran back and forth and in the end the consultant radiologist made the call that he'd do the ultrasound but I shouldn't have another mammogram so soon.
Once I had the ultrasound it was still an hour before my consultant appointment and the...
Hi Guys,
Last night i had to go and help out my best friend with some paper work, when i came back the kids were still up and my hubby said the Cerys my youngest who is 4 wanted to talk to me, so we went and had a sit down and she said "mommy i miss Grandad, i have dreams and i am playing with him and then i wake up and know he isn't here, i will never ever see him again and that makes me sad."

Well.............. Here's a happier blog post............
Followers will know that I have been away for a few days, for a deserving re-charge of my batteries.
While I was away, Mum had an appointment with the oncologist and they reviewed how the chemo was going.
They said that the cancer in all areas (lung, lymph nodes and adrenal glands) was responding to chemo and actually shrinking! They used the word remission, but I must stress before we get excited that it just means that its under better...
So life at home goes something like this
So been up since 3.30am and I'm still wide awake and now up and doing something that should have been done ages ago but wasn't because I wrote and 'lost 'it in March and couldn't face writing it again. I've just thought to look in the Recycle Bin...Hope it helps someone... Monday February 22nd So when I said my temperature was normal, I lied J .

Just over a week ago my dad was diagnosed with liver cancer, and told there is nothing that can be done. He has been referred for palliative care.
The news was a shock. How can this reach such a point so quickly? A few weeks ago he complained of stomach pains and thought it might be an ulcer. He has had liver problems in the past. Successfully treated I thought. It turns out that wasn't the case - there was no cure before, only a delay. His skin quickly turned yellow and his GP surgery referred...
Hi all
On Monday it's my three monthly Onc check up, it only seems like a month since the last one, so this means another routine CT no doubt (but of course that's a good thing). I know I'm far from being the only one, but I always dread these appointments, it's like having to face up to the reality of what's lurking around my body - thankfully 'under control' at present, waiting to pounce? (If I stop my daily affirmations, taking the happy pills, having Reiki, dancing...
