I had a totally fine blog written and went to post it only to realize that You all are five hours ahead of me and I think I was smack in the middle of the down time today. Hence, I lost my blog (there is no way to 'save' it that I am aware of). Boo hoo. Suffice to say that I even wrote one...there is the catharsis/therapy.
I am slowly getting over my cold. It is still a wee bit in my chest...never fully got hold in there. I think catching it on the day of chemo helped. The chemo won't let...
We went to the pain management clinic yesterday, it seems that the tumour is blocking the lymph nodes in dads groin so his leg is swollen to double the size of his other leg. They are changing his medication he is being taken off the slow release and breakthrough morphine tablets and put on other kinds, I am not so convinced about this.

Just read a report on our local news to say that Cancer Care Cymru, our local based charity, have now run out of cash. The Specialist Nurses that have been appointed to patients in our Cancer Hospital at Velindre, Nr Cardiff and Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Llantrisant, for the last few years, finally finished today.
Peter and I are so sorry to hear this and will miss our allocated Specialist Nurse Jane Humphries. We'd like to thank her for all her support since his diagnosis a year ago. We don...

Well he went to the dr's in the end. Not his GP but a locum. Says the pain/non movement of foot is probably muscular but has ordered a bone scan anyway. He also prescribed the painkillers my husband had a massive allergic reaction to in hospital!!!
Husband is grumpy and miserable, but I think it is just being in limbo that is doing it really.
His KC is a particulary rare type of RCC with sarcomatoid and rhabdoid features. They are still debating whether the clot on the lung is a clot or a tumour...
Hi Every one, Welcome to my blog!
My name is Katie. I set up this blog as an on going story of my journey to the finish line of the London Marathon.
The story beginning in April this year, like most years me and my family went up to London to cheer on the thousands of runners in London doing the marathon, sat at the side of the road with a bottle of magners was little me thinking "wow these people are amazing running this distance, one day I'll do it." This, is what I had said every year for the...
Think the Kalms are finally kicking in, the sickness is wearing off and the sweating is getting to a managable state I can now take the towel from under my arms....lol
The girls have just presented me with cards and gifts for my birthday and made me cry so just about to go and have a piece of early Birthday Cake with a glass of juice (oh the high life) let the phones ring I want my cake and I wanna eat it too.
Love Terri xx
Well last night was a rip raoring success, managed to eat some lovely casserole and even managed half a fresh cream eclair, I also managed to stay awake past 8.30 so was very chuffed with myself.
