The CT scan was on Monday so I was amazed to receive the result so quickly. I was at work when the good news came through and I was all teary and emotional. Fortunately they know me and were happy for me too.
Although on one level I was expecting everything to be OK, on another I had been getting a bit anxious. The tears were of relief and also an acknowledgement of what a tough time it’s been. As this was the first scan since surgery (looking at the date the surgery was exactly a year ago), it...
Well its been a few weeks since I have been on here and its been an eventful time. My mum had her first chemo on 27th October and did so well, she is only tiny and the Dr gave her the very maximum chemo he could give her. She had some cramps so we took a visit to A&E but when she went to see her Oncologist he was astounded how well she looks given the dose. During the last 3 weeks we have seen her get a fab new wig, to losing her hair this week. We have spent some lovely time together and she...
Paul and Ewa visited Mo this morning as Ewa was due to go to work this afternoon, it always seem a longer day when you visit in the afternoon because you can't go in until 3pm. Mo was out of bed again today in the 'special chair' which was brilliant and as it was a nice day Paul and Ewa had managed to take Mo out onto the balcony area in the sunshine. I only knew this because Paul had sent me a text letting me know as I had texted him to see how Mo was, saves me ringing the nurse station I guess...
I arrived at the Hospice about 10-10.30 and for the first time I had to wait for a nurse to come and get me and take me to Mo, the reason I had to wait was because Mo was having a bath!!??. Talk about cliches, 'ups and downs',peaks and troughs,a rollercoaster ride, Jo the nurse-in-charge came and got me and even apologised for keeping me waiting and took me into Mo. I went in and Mo was sitting up in bed with a towel behind her head as her hair was still wet, apparently Mo wanted to let her hair...
Today was a very good day Mo was up and out of the bed in a specialised chair and talking to everyone according to the nursing staff I spoke to when I rang this morning. Considering last night I was all ready to go up to the Hospice as I was really worried, this latest turn around is a 'bolt from the blue' I wasn't expecting the nurses to tell me THAT!.I went to meet my mum, all prepared to put her off today, ended up giving her some good news for a change. After being told what had happened with...
It's been a while since I've had anything to report so this is just a briefish update.
After a few weeks of taking some little white white pills I've since progressed to the big time in having injected Hormone Implants.
Sounds daunting and when I arrived for my first injection at my local surgery I was a little worried when the nurse asked if I wanted a local anasethic or a cold spray as it might be painful!
This gave me visions of this implant being the size of a double decker bus...
After 6 weeks radio therapy and regular injections of Zoladax. I am living (Weezing a bit) proof that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I hope this will encourage guys to get checked out

Well a week ago we were all a little bit happy but today is a different story!
Gordy has had a lovely week going out with our brother Paul and as an added bonus another friend, Mongy (the reason for the nickname has been lost in the mists of time and copious amounts of alcohol down the rugby club) has also been home from Oz! Think much fun was had by all but I stayed out of the way as Paul and me do not get on!
Yesterday Gordy went to get the results of the scan they did on Thursday last week. First...
