Well today was the day - last session (until the next recurrence), and as usual arrived at the normal time (9.15am) drugs arrived at 10.45am, and between changing over bags I 'bleeped' for at least 20 minutes each time, so left the hospital at 5.30pm from a 5 hour treatment. Solitary room and an upright chair did not help matters at all, but the staff shortages are ridiculous now. Hopefully by the time I have to go back the new staff will be experienced and be able to get the drip in first...

How can I love my cancer when all I want is for it to go away.
I returned today from a week abroad to find a dear friend same age same condition passed away he was a fantastic guy and I will miss his emails.
Four and a half years of living with a terminal illness and yet not feeling ill except when I took their treatment.
I had to learn quickly how to accept the side effects and condition my mind and body to take control.
Now I am taking a break from the drugs I worry about the cancer becoming...
Hi Guys - Sorry im having another ranting session here
Im 26 years old, My world was perfect with my husband and my newly born little girl 2 years on my wonderful little life took a knock when my little girl was diagnosed with leukemia.

Been taking Ibandronic Acid for the last month and can only assume these are some of the side effects that go with it. To start with I have a pain in the middle of my chest which my GP says is a pulled muscle, ok but hurts like hell.I have a frozen shoulder right side from using my wheelchair which is too wide and my right hip hurts,(GP diagnosis bursitis), can't take any anti-inflammatory pills...
Hiya, In December 2009 my mum was told she had two tumours in her pelvis about 12 centimeters long and on New years eve was told she had 50% chance of survival. She started a 6 weeks course or radio therepy and at the end was told the cancer hadnt gone but had shrunk massively and much more than they expected and after having one more session of radio therepy and 3 lots of brachey was told they were very confident she would be in remission within 4 months. Two months later she had a scan and again...

Good luck to all those who, like me, are doing the Race For Life today.
