Dear Readers - I am putting on a link which is for a registered charity that is raising money for photodynamic therapy as a treatment for cancer. As well as giving information about trials, it also gives some information about hospitals and consultants who are already involved in the treatment. It is a genuine link, despite the very bad name! Forgive me for doing this Macmillan - I have no axe to grind (except a very personal one!) but this link should be of interest to many of you carers and cancer...
So, I'm standing in the supermarket, and, as you do, I start chatting to the woman behind me at the check out. I've not had a good day, and her bright smile and chatter is welcome and pleasant and gives a sense of "normality" Neither of us has done any shopping for Christmas, not one mince pie, not one present so far, no tree up, and I start to warm to her, maybe I'm not so odd...... I'm not the only one who hasn't done anything yet. Me, because I've been so busy grieving since...
Hi
I have rang my lung nurse on several occasions and I appreciate meso. is still a fairly new cancer and so the oncologists etc. arent able to answer all the questions.
We dont want a bungled answer we want the truth which is "I dont know the answer to that as yet".
The lung nurse asks you t describe the pain etc. have you tried this pain killer etc. ring back after a week on this pain killer and we will go on from there if it hasnt worked. Basically I have rang so many times as you...

hi there - hope everyone is well - i have not wrote for a while but i have kept trying to follow what everyone has been up to - the last 10 days have been fairly ok - my biggest problem seems to be is that i am very tired - but i seem to have got that sorted out and have began pacing myself - i suppose you just have to try things and find what suits you really - as far as the chemo is concerned i think i am coping ok with it - living on my own with the little one and having chemo was at first a bit...
Thursday Off to the Radiotherapy department for The Planning Session. Airy waiting area and WRVS come round with tea! Excellent. But there was a TV on in the corner, which no-one was really watching, with a load of squawking bints arguing at full volume on some godawful sitcom. No need for that I thought selfishly. It might be a nice, genuine distraction for people waiting for treatment, I know that. But give me a radio every time! After a half hour wait, went through. It wasn’t as hi-tech as...
....of Mr Bad Fairy!
I know I know, this is not the place for kissy kissy lovey dovey stuff and this isn't kissy kissy lovey dovey stuff, I just needed to say it!
For anyone wondering what has brought this about let me tell you ... Mr Bad Fairy has started his own blog called "The Staff at The Bad Fairy household".
