At last avairy finished so my boy Jack starts breeding the budgies.Yes 17 wekks since op and what a rocky road its been with no doubt few more suprises!!! Back to work in 5 weeks.Feeling much better now eating reasonably well have energy at last! Creon capsules prescribed seem to stop those cramps.
got my scan and just got results - tumours have shrunk and they dont want to see me for 4 months unless symptoms return. i just burst into tears with relief. i went to the ward that treated me and let the nurses know and they were so happy for me too.
been told it will return at some point but hopefully that will be a long way off.
thanx to everyone on here that have been so supportive and i'll keep praying for you too.
las vegas here i come. xxxxxx
My dads being transferred to another hospital tomorrow for a pap (?) scan. He's then coming back to original hospital. The nurses are being wonderful. They're putting a bed in my dads room so my mum can stop tonight and tomorrow night.
He's had loads of visitors which is really helping him. I just wish this week was over, but then I don't in case he doesn't make it through whatever op they end up doing on Thursday.
I've got to sort out his benefits this week. That'll be fun...

Has to be winned soon ryt??
I am nearly half way through my final cycle of chemo. Taking oral capecitibine twice a day until Tuesday morning next week.
At the start of this cycle my blood counts were on the borderline (1.5 for neutrophils and 2.9 for WBC). This is the seventh of what was originally planned to be eight cycles. However, I've had delays along the way due to low blood counts so I have been reassured that I have had a good dose of chemo now and there is little evidence that any more will make any difference to...
I have now completed six sessions of chemotherapy and swallowed a lot of drugs. There were no promises or predictions, so I am pleased to find that that the tumours have reduced in size, not quite a miracle but some improvement at least. Unfortunateley in the last few weeks since giving up the steroid tablets I have been very ill. I was quite shocked to be refused any assistance from my Cancer Unit and had to endure six hours in a casualty department, before being admitted to that same hospital...
I am so mad as i write this. My partner dropped off my hospital letter this morning to the GP surgery following my operation. He also took a form for the GP to stamp so we can claim back the money for our cancelled holiday.
They wanted to charge him £25.00 just to bludy well stamp it and for the doctors signature what a flamin stinking cheek! He told them what to do with it. My surgeon has kindly provided a written letter with no charge attached, and was more than happy to do so!
How on earth...

Ok, I don't really know what your ment to put on these but here goes:
My partner has got cancer, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma to be exact. It started off as Hodgkins Lymphoma til we went to UCL in London to be told it had been mis-diagnosed. We've not been together long, but I knew about his cancer before we started dating. He had just finished his course of ABVD, he then had to have ESHAP because although the ABVD had shrunk it, it had grown with a vengeance after three months. We then found that throughout...
Ok, so here is the latest. After reaching no remission in 3 years despite various concoctions being injected into my husband he is now going to receive Donor Stem Cell Transplant in anticipation of and I quote the oncologist here "a complete cure"!!!! He goes into hospital in August to have Eshap chemo, he stays in for 5 days and then comes home for 2/3 weeks then goes in again for another 5 days and has another lot. After this stem cell transplant is organised hopefully using his sisters...
