Gordy went to the hospital on Monday for this week's chemo tablets.
Later in the day his consultant's secretary rang Mams as they wanted him to go back and the message was not to take any of the drugs he had been given.
Gordy went back to the hospital on Tuesday morning. They took the drugs off him and told him that the chemo was doing more harm than good, his blood count had dropped dramatically in 5 days and the cancers in his liver were not responding and growing fast.
Gordy now has...

My dad has been back again today in the hope that his blood is up to his next treatment only to find out that it isn't. The drs have now decided to give him G-CSF in the form of pegylated filgrastim (Neulasta) and we are hopeful that this will bring his blood back up to where it should be so that he can continue his treatment.
I have just spoke to my dad and he was honest with me about how he is feeling about it all. He said whatever happens he is aware that this next 12 months could very much...
Hi, I dont know what Im suppose to write but felt it the right thing to do at the moment. My mum has just found out that she has breast cancer and will need an operation to remove cancer cells and then chemo but she wont really share anything else with me. She keeps saying she is going to die and i just dont want to hear that. I am thinking positive as Im sure they have caught it on time. I am going to be looking after her. Anyone got any ideas on how i can get her to open up a bit?

I visited you 2 days ago and you seemed so well...quite set on coming home once the hospital discharged you....though only 2 days previously you had quite firmly told Mom you wanted to go into a Nursing Home as you refused to have us 'running round' looking after you. Your mind was quite set she told me. However, when I visited 2 days later you had no recall of that conversation and were determined to return home. Tonight when I visited you were so unwell, high temperature and shaking so...
I don't feel this way very much anymore - I could probably count on my fingers the number of times that I have genuinely been happy on my fingers, since my journey with the big C began in Jan 2011.
But I think this rare moment of genuine happiness makes it so much more special, and feel as though I can really be thankful for that moment. I think what I'm trying to say, is that I appreciate happy moments way more often than I ever would have done so. So while I don't feel this way very often...
It started with pain in my back but with already suffering with Fibromyalgia I thought it was just extra pain to cope with but this time in my back,As the day carried on the pain gradually got worse and by evening I hit agony!..I have never rung an ambulance for myself but the pain was so bad I was climbing the walls,rushed into hospital..the hours and days passed with all the tests ext,..sent home and a couple of days later rushed back into hospital with increasing pain,After screaming in agony...
