Being sick is bad. Knowing you're dying is bad. Everything and anything to do with cancer is bad, but I'm finding the worst feeling of them all, is knowing that you're leaving people that you love, and those who love you, behind.
Whenever I say goodbye to someone, I can't help but wonder whether it'd be the last time, and the goodbye would turn from a "goodbye, see ya next time", to a "good bye, have a good life". Sometimes it even feels like I'm genuinely leaving them for good, and...
Hello everybody, as new 'weblogger' I have probably been 'cocking it all up'. So this is a new start.
While on holiday in Spain I had an epileptic fit (a first for me) and awoke to find I was in a local Spanish hospital. My wife, Carolyn, has more details, this is an 'insiders' viewpoint'. The hospital 'did not have the facilities to handle my case'.
All communications in Spanish but I speak (or used to speak) Portugese. (even if I can't spell it)! This turned...
When I was first diagnosed I was in a kind of shock. I am most grateful to the people who talked to me at that time (November / December 2010). things looked extremely grim at that time.
Since then I have (fingers crossed) made pretty much a full recovery
I had radical prostate op at Queen Alexandra Portsmouth in Mar 11. Margins were clear although it was a close run thing as the cancer had reached surface of prostate in one place. I then had a 6 week course of radiotherapy from May to July 2011...
I'm pretty much in a good place in my head regarding my cancer and where I am up to on that so called journey. Then my Onc. appointment appears on the calendar for February and the little doubts and niggles start in my head grrrrrr.
When I was diagnosed I asked straight for a statistic for survival, 60%. I'd rather it been a bit more but at least it was the upper side of 50 eh, so not complaining.
Mr tumour was a T3N2M0 and again i'd rather it been below the 3 and not too happy with the...
Need a self indulgent moan today – this is more to get it out of me than have replies / kick the cat / moan at hubbie by the way. Well Mum will get her results in a week’s time and I having a wobble. Think it has been kicked off by chatting to another mum at school who’s a nurse (fatal talking to someone with medical knowledge at times).
Anyway I am just hoping things will be fine. Planning on taking my boys up to see her afterwards (thankfully all coincided with half term)...
Hello, I received my first dose of GemCarbo today and I'm feeling a little off but too bad, I'm just wondering if anyone has had or is having this treatment at present and how has it or is it affecting them??

Hello - I am new to this. I need a "safe" place to put some structure and sense to my feelings and thoughts and I ended up here. My Mum was diagnosed with small lymphocytic lymphoma in August 2009. They (as in the medical folks she saw) had thought it was a bad cold, overactive glands, pneumonia and finally Swine Flu (that was whilst in France) and then it was finally diagnosed as cancer. It did not come as a total surprise as there was some nagging thought at the back of my head and I took some...
