Hello everyone it has been some time since i was last on the site i think it must be over two months or more. I came upon some very negative blogs and i was really frightened by them, particulary as back then my diagnosis was realatively new.
I decided that i could not visit the site anymore as it left me really anxious. I find this really quite sad as in the early days following my diagnosis i do not know what i would have done without it. I realise of course that we all need to off load especially...
After this mornings blogs were a bit negative I thought I would write something slightly more positive. Mo had a good nights sleep (weds) and woke up about 5.45am,early you say,well yes but Mo settled down quite early. Gave her 6mgs of steroids.keppra and the voltarol about 6pm. Mo sat in the front room until about 7.30-8am which is a long while for her. About 7am she fancied some scrambled egg for breakfast, she only had one piece of toast didn't each much of it though but ate most of the scrambled...
chemo cancelled because B12injection was given too late by imcompentance at hospital chemo nurse said that as he was only given injection yesterday if they gave him chemo they would have to book intensive care bed now have a distraught husband and family have replied to all of you who sent good wishes today in a post on previous blog bless you all xxxxxxxx
Feeling a bit down today Mo's not responding as well as I would like/hope to the increase in meds,shes still so tired & not engaging too well in conversation. Our neighbours came round today for a cup of tea,Mo managed to get up and sit in the front room while they were here. Sue & I tried to talk to Mo and hold a conversation with her but it was just yes/no replies she found it hard to construct a sentence herself. You could see she had some degree of understanding what we were saying but there...
Met our Macmillan nurse today,Katy Bontoft for the first time not what I expected,she wasn't wearing the green uniform.It made a pleasant change to see her in 'normal' everyday clothes its easier to relate to,seen enough uniforms in the last week or so!.A very nice lady and to be honest quite relieved to see her finally,seems an age since a Macmillan nurse was mentioned but it was only on Monday afternoon when the district nurse visited.Had a very long chat with her about how we arrived at this point...
crossing fingers , toes and everything else for my husbands first chemo tomorrow , hope its a positive start to my husbands wonderful brave determination to fight this
Well third week back at work and fast approaching 2months since the death of my beloved husband. I still struggle to sleep i did think going back to work would make me tired, it has achieved that but as soon as my eyes begin to close my mind and body jumps to alert and races through like a whirlwind. I have managed though to get upstairs, after so many months of sleeping downstairs as my darling husband couldn't make it upstairs. I still feel closer to him down here sitting on the sofa but I had...
Hello you lovely lot
Well, it all went well until they tired to get the stitch out from the Hickman line op thingy and a bit of it was stuck to the scab so it pulled - bit *ouch* but we got there in the end ;)
Feeling WOOZY from piriton etc, but picked up afterwards by stepdad, mum here all afternoon to make me cuppas and cooked dinner when kids got in, so lolling on sofa is all I've done and all I'm going to do until I go to read my little 'un a bedtime story :)
Thank you all for...
I am new at this, but i think i am going to like having a place to vent both my frustrations and get advice and tips on how to cope.
The past 3 years have been very hard on my family, Both my parents died within months of each other- my mum died in 2009, she had pancreatic and breast cancer and my dad had a lung disease and died last year so you can imagine the shock my family and friends were in when 6 months later i was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. My friends and family keep saying i...
