Hey
Just feeling really flat ove rthe last few days. I know that a hysterectomy is a big op and it has only been like 2 weeks but I just thought I would be seeing some improvement. My back and legs are aching probably because of all the laying around and I generally just feel really crap.
I guess I just a bit down about everything. The shock and adrenalin that kind of gets you through the tests and operation are wearing off and now Im just left with the reality of whats happened. Dont know whats...
Hi all,
Feeling a wee bit anxious as I have a 4 month review with ENT,on Thursday,never gets any easier,does it!
I think my husband might need to hire a JCB, to get me in through the doors of the hospital as I honestly hate it,especially the clinic,(I was on my own when I was diagnosed)
My best friend,dizzy as she is,lol!) phoned me today and told me that she was taking me to our local Theatre on Thursday night,as it would be something to distract me from all the panic!
I nearly choked when she...
Start of the journey, mum had cystoscopy last week, which showed cancer. CT scan on 1 March to see if its invasive. Everything on hold until we know more. Praying she is ok.
Well here i go, the first session to kill off my Hodgkin's Lymphoma hooray!
It is doing such funny things to me that I cannot wait to get started.
I have a new party trick. turn to the left hiccups, turn to the right hiccups move back to the centre and guess what, they stop straight away. spooky........
I will be back with an update later x
Dear all,
I don't often write blogs as I still can't quite get this new site the old one was much easier for me but still. The reason for me writting this blog is that after 6weeks radiotherapy, 2 lots of brain surgery and 10 mothes chemo my husbands scans are clear of all cancer!!!.
We were told that Tom had only 6monthe's to a year left to live because he has the worst type of tumour which is a Gliobastoma grade 4 so to have this news on thursday was incredible for us all this could...
Hi Sarah32
Sorry if this is the wrong way to contact you. I don't really understand the difference between blogs, forums, etc. I just wanted to say thanks for responding to my request. Took some paracetamol last night and thankfully pain has gone. Asked nurse and she just said expect various aches and pains! Finding whole chemo thing very difficult. Waiting for every symptom. Not very helpful to myself is it?
Anyway thanks again. Was very reassuring to hear you had experienced same.
Before I write anything else, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart foe all your support not just in the past week but the past 18 months I needed your strenght to give me mine.
Bert's funeral will take place on Friday 5th March at 12. I make no apologies for the choice of music as he chose it himself. His First song will be
ACDC Highway to Hell
Wipeout (recorded by his son)
A beautiful song called Keep me in you Heart for a while. ( Warrenn Zevon)

This time last year I was just preparing for my second op - it was needed to acheive a wide margin and to hopefully close the gap in my wound which had been leaking serous fluid since my first op a month before. I was also trying to get my head around the need for chemo and radio as follow in treatments. I really had no idea what the journey ahead would be like. There were lots of silent tears in bed at night and in the morning....
But here I am.... almost 14 months after diagnosis and whilst I'm still...
On Friday i went off to London for my 'end of treatment' scan results. My daughter who was visiting from Suffolk came along too. We went on the train and got to the Hospital about 15mins before my appointment time. Felt ok but a little apprehensive wondering what i might be told. I was called in after about 25mins. My Specialist spoke about my kidneys to start with as on Monday i had a small op to replace the two ureteric stents i have in place due to my renal failure last year. It appears that my...
