I found visiting Mo very tough today I was ok when I arrived she was having her nails done, sitting up in the 'special chair' quite happy and contented. It wasn't until later on I started to get upset when thoughts of Mo dying entered my head. Just the thought of Mo not being around, the thought of what am I going to do without her on my own. The trouble is the more you think about it the more upset you become and the more Mo sees that sadness. I think the turning point of me becoming upset was when...

he went yesterday for his 3 month...
This time it was more awkward than before. This time not much was said, not much was done. Mums worse than she was. Has stopped taking any food what so ever. has stopped taking her milk like she did. I feel guilty as I had been putting Procal in her milk (you cannot taste it) but it meant she had more energy than what she would have had. My sister never did cos she never agreed with it. But Extra calories count, right? I had also tried mixing them nutrient drinks in with milk and nesquik, which she...
I cannot believe that after what dad has been saying, all along, that its treatable, if mum eats, if mum puts on a little weight, that its treatable. Its all a damn LIE. He told me they cannot treat it. I have to LIE to mum now about getting her better. To give her hope. I can't believe it. Apparently my sister knew. why not me?! Why did they tell me in a way as though I had already been told! I haven't been told. Ive been told that there was hope. I've been praying on the hope....

http://rayandmave.wordpress.com/ Im not on the trial any more as My Mesothelioma has grown back again
So, after I made contact with the doctor, what were the steps to diagnosis:
my symptoms were not very specifc back ache, and so my doctor thought it might be referred pain from an inflamed epipdidymus (sounds like a resident of Notty Ash?), but also thought my spleen felt enlarged.
(1) organised blood tests and book an ultrasound (2 day wait). At this stage I hoped for an inflammation, but like anyone with a PC googled enlarged spleen, and the results were worrying.
(2) the ultrasound reported no...

What another day on Monday at the hospital: Very early start to get to the Marsden by 9.00am for the EDTA test, followed final bloods at 12.30 then over to the Brompton for the MUGA at 1.45pm, so lots of time to kill in between. Fortunately (after initially denying we had an appointment) the hospital were able to bring forward hubby's ultrasound scan and joy of joys, we got the results from the registrar before 12.30.
Even the experts are puzzled - there were originally three tumours in the...
