Wondering how women with Papillary Serous Adencarcinoma with clear cells Grade 111C cope with the poor survival rate they read about when they look it up on the internet? At the moment it seems there's a 33% chance of survival for us. Is this your reading? Has it improved? Would like to know more!
I tend to not automatically believe I will be the lucky 1 in 3. What kind of presumtious thinking is this:
"Oh of course it's going to be me. I'm so special, so strong, I know how to do this!...
Hello All
I had my Ivor Lewis on the 22nd June 2009, diagnosed on the 17th April, no one could complain about that, it started with me having hiccups and having problems swallowing after eating. My wife kept telling me to go to see the doctor’s but I wouldn’t go until thing got bad. I collapsed at work and was taken to hospital in an Ambulance. The doctor said it was probably an hiatus hernia and a endoscopy would confirm. It didn't and further tests would be needed, full body scan and pep scan...
Since my last blog l have found that my Cancer is back after having a ct scan. the cancer was small so we decided to wait a bit.
My C125 has since gone up again in three months so l will be having another scan in the next 4-6 weeks to see what to do.
I am also having family problems which l need to sort before having the chemo.
will update when l have more news.
Everything still going well after Bert's scare last week. Long may it continue.
No change in his blood counts though so will still be in for a while yet. We are expecting to hear from The Beatson soon Re the Bone Marrow Transplant and when they expect it all to happen. We seem to spend our lives waiting (as do all of you too) for results or appointments.

It's a cold crisp day and the sun is shining in a perfectly blue sky. Inside our hospital room, Andrew continues to make progress. Today his bowel 'woke up' which meant he could have his first meal in 6 days - a small cup of chicken broth. He sipped it very slowly making it last as long as possible. The next hour proved pretty eventful - getting in or out of bed usually takes about 10 mins by the time you have unplugged the IV stand and untangled all the drip tubes and drainage bags and then there...
I learned last week, that she has lost her battle with SCLC after a year. She was a unique individual that was very special to me. I will miss her a lot.
I'll miss this website too, as it's been a great place to rant once in a while, the ppl here are truly good. Thanks to all my friends, for being here.
