Well thats it now all over, im now on my own.
My adoring mum left this world on monday evening and i let her go this morning at her funeral. Now everything is so final. In the last 6 months i have lost my darling daughter and my wonderful mum.
Im left now all on my own with noone to go and have a cry with when im feeling down, noone to run to when i need a hug, noone to tell me everythings going to be alright.
at the moment i feel like i have been hit by a train, and if my time on this earth were...
At last - the relief of knowing that I have beaten the devil again for the time being. My last treatment on Monday then freedom to enjoy my retirement for a while (hopefully a long while!). My GP was so pleased yesterday when I saw her, and the new oncologist I saw today really enjoyed telling us the very very good news- the ca 125 is down to 19 and the scan was clear, (and that was after 4 treatments) Here's hoping it stays away so we can do the travelling we want and see all our friends round the...
I am quite keen to go to this meeting in Birmingham. Can someone let me know the details as I very rarely use the chat room now
(My brillant Brother). May..2010 surgery to remove known milgnant melanoma on face. Also removed lymph by the ear and small bone at front of ear (Trageus) also another melanoma futher down the cheek.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Only have 5 minutes to wirte this before I have to go to my onc appointment to find out how bad the recurrance is and what treatment etc is needed, but realy need to blurt for a bit.
So on top of all this worry and fear about this appointment today, which to be honest although I do try and be big tough and brave has realy not been very easy, this morning I woke up to an email to say that I got a job interview so am totally freaking out.
Its for a job as a lecturer in Australia...
I will be 28 years old on the 24th of June. I have taking 3rd FEC on the same day. I wish otherwise. I wish things had been different. I dont want to spend my birthday feeling sick and cant even have a makeup birthday until 5-7days afterwards.
I just hope and pray that 2011 will be a better year and beginning of a great life for me.
hey evry1,hope evry1"s ok x
Just got back from my MRI.Now im not a wimpy girl,have a high pain threshhold and dont scare easy,but today has worn me out. I couldnt even open my eyes,didnt even look at the machine,had the plates placed on my stomach and strapped in place,headphones put on and panic button in hand.The only way to describe it is like being put in a coffin with load sounds like machine guns,bangin,lazers,just very uncomfortable.Filled up a few times but didnt wanna move to make...
My Chemo Suite cheerfully informed me today that there has been a policy review on appointments, and as a result we shall henceforth have our consultations on different days from our treatment. "WTF???" as my nephew would say.
The reason for this breathtaking piece of blue skies thinking is to reduce long waits for consultations. So now I have to drag myself to hospital (mine 30 miles away) twice every 3 weeks instead of once, not to mention ad hoc scans, radioactive blasts, sundry organ...
My scans have come back showing no signs of cancer anywhere other than the original tumour site discovered a couple of weeks ago. Yippee! What a massive relief.
I was told far more than I expected over the phone. The proposed course of treatment will be five weeks of radiotherapy and chemo (the latter being a low dose I gather which helps the effectiveness of the radiotherapy). The five weeks is Monday to Friday with time off for good behaviour at weekends. I then rest for 4-6 weeks and have another...
