Hi,
I am having a good cry dont know why? My son's second chemo was today and now he has to go back for the next one in 3 week's and I dont know if this is normal?. We were told it would be once a month for the next 8 months oh well they must know what they are doing, because he is 34 they dont seem to tell you anything but at the end of the day I am his mother and he will not say any thing to worry me but I would rather know.
hi
i have just come back from my 1 week post op plastics dressing clinic at st georges hospital
i wanted to share my photos with anyone interested.
Hi every one...hope you are all ok.
It was my first day back at work today after 11months and 1 week off...and i feel like ive never been off...but in a good way. I was welcomed back with open arms..and a few tears...and i feel tired but very happy right now. Ive just done a half shift answering the phone...running a few errands ..making cups of tea...just generally easing myself back into a work routine...my feet are aching but ive got the biggest smile on my face...i did it...i got my real life...
I had a transhiatal esophagectomy mid February, have been eating pureed food since coming out of hospital, then tried un-pureed food, this made me sick as I couldn't swallow it. I now seem to be living on yoghurt and soup as anything with even the smallest lumps makes me gag or be sick. When I swallow it feels like someone pressing my throat. Any help gratefully recieved.

…..please Sir, can I have some more? Rest assured, it does state on the packaging that ‘No Tiggers were harmed in the making of this product.’ I can’t honestly believe anyone would allow a Tigger to be juiced anyway, can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth it would cause? Eeyore wouldn’t know what to mope about first! Good thing it’s not real Tigger Juice then and only a nickname for more medication (I can hear the sigh of relief from here!). Tigger juice...
