I had a BCC removed from my nose by MOHS plus a skin graft on 16th Jan15. I kept the graft covered and moist until the stitches were removed after 14 days. I am now exposing the graft to the air unless I go outside when I cover it; as recommended by the doctor.
I am washing my face with soap and water 2 x a day and applying antibiotic cream to the graft. It is only day 2 since removal of stitches but the graft is covered in a sort of crystallised scab making it difficult to apply the antibiotic...
Its been roughly 1year and a half since I lost my mum, everyday just seems to blur past me. It hasn't been easy to cope without her and I have only just been able to start talking about what happened and talking to people on this website about it.
I'm 21 years old and still live at home with my dad. I lost my mum on my birthday, 11th August. It hasn't been easy since me and my dad have never seen eye to eye and without mum it has become more and more difficult. Finding some where else...
I’m not really sure what that means, but I think it means that big things are made up of lots of small things. And that’s the case with my cancer. For all I know, it may be like this for anyone whose cancer has metastasised. Before I had cancer, I just assumed that it was one big thing, and maybe that’s how it is with people who have one solid tumour. But mine, because it had already spread to lymph nodes when I was diagnosed, has been diffuse all along. And that results in all...

Laid awake I feel like saying enough is enough to this treatment but the next day I bounce back .... Just not sure if I will go the full five years , three years down - any comment mac friends

Schrodingers cat seems to come up alot these days , mainly recently on the tv comedy serires the big bang theory,
i feel alot like that cat, i can be consiserered both terminal and curable untill the scan results are examined,two weeks ago i thought i had fallen into the curable opinion when my consultant informed me that i just had one tumor in my right lung which in his opinion could be surgically removed, what i didnt relise is that its the surgeon who decides whether surgery is a curative option...
I’ve had a week or so to absorb the new reality of not looking forward to any more treatment. Actually, it’s a relief. We have been able to book an exciting summer holiday, accept invitations to visit friends and plan some weekends away. Of course, this is all predicated on my being well enough at the time, and that isn’t always the case. For example, this week I’ve had at least three really c**p days, but today I woke up feeling almost like a normal person. This may be due...
I'd hate for this space to become nothing more than a place for me to moan but to be truthful we all need somewhere to go, scream and then shut the door like that noise never came out. I've been really stressed over the last week and though I'm aware of this, I know how I respond when stressed and I know how to combat it the progress in that area is a little slower than I'd like. I actually resorted to walking out of a room and screaming F*******************K before calmly returning and getting back...
