    Terrible Friend
    Well, where to start, just had my fourth chemo on Wednesday, then back to the hospital for an immune boosting injection - something new they have spung on me! But if it helps, and they assure me it does, whats another little prick! (sarp scratch sorry) Felt rotten, really sick again despite the change of anti sicknes drugs, loss of appetite and a thirst I cant quench, not to mention rattling with the new anti sickness drugs and the now aching bones frm the new injection. One of my close girl friends...

    Ssh! It's oh so quiet...
    what's happened to bjork? Well yesterday I did, erm, nothing but Internet and athletics (watching not doing). Watched Slumdog Millionaire last night - it looked fantastic and the actors were good - 'nice' easy storyline to follow as well, lol! Today I did, erm, nothing but Internet and athletics (watching not doing). BUT I also started following the cricket. Cricket is boring. Everyone knows that. Should I be worried? Also listened to the Boro win again so all is right in the sporting world. Been...

    Darren's plevic tumour
    Today was a good day - I ate a loverly Wetherspoons Fry up. The sun was shining for a change. And my lovely wife had organised a match ticket. Wigan v Man Utd. It was a brilliant game, matched by the atmosphere of the fans, singing all through the game. The second half was a blinder - First Rooney got his 100th goal then Berbatov scored a fabulous individual effort. Next Rooney got another but was later subbed for Michael Owen who came on and scored his first Prem. Goal. That would have been good...

    Is there something wrong with me?
    My mother passed away on wednesday... It was the worst thing that could have happened. I remember when i was standing in the front of the see in a small village in Norway, watching to the see and thinking i will never survive from this. That was when i heard my mom was seriously ill, but wasnt sure yet what it was. The past 3-4 weeks has been hell. I have never cried so much in my entire life than during those weeks. I had never been so scared, never so miserable. I was thinking how much pain...

    prostate cancer first blog
    I registered today and am wondering if I will find anything here to help me. I found out this week i am one of the unlucky ones who has HRPC. Next stage is chemotherapy and a whole head busting amount of new information. I dont respond well to "i know someone" stories and have learned my cancer is as individual as i am. I guess im looking for some understanding and maybe a fellow HRPC er. Well humoured and not planning to live whats left as a burden on my family so here goes nothing......

    SCARED AND FRIGHTENED AGAIN
    Here I am again - a jibbering idiot. Very scared and frightened about Monday. Op planned for Monday 24th August - both breasts. Hate hospitals , frightened of needles and I woke last night in a hot sweat - thinking I am sure they have not told me everything and that they know more than I do. I feel they that see me as a very anxious person and therefore they have opted no tto tell me everything. My breast care nurse is now on holiday for two weeks as well. No one seems to give me any positive...

    Can he be the man I need him to be?
    I have just eaten TWO!!! chocolate cupcakes which I made earlier which is my first problem. Since my reconstruction was cancelled (for the 2nd time) about two months ago and then being re-diagnosed around the same time I have been indulging a little too much and put on a stone. Not happy :-( That wasnt my blog by the way this is, I just got side tracked..... I dont know how I feel right now, its been a funny week and mainly due to my husbands wierd mood. He is not his usual self and seems...
