  • Bummer....!
    stream of rubbish rather than consciousness...!

    Well, who would have thought me writing a blog.. mind you who would have thought a lot of things.....!

    Finished treatment and waiting and waiting now (another 2 weeks to go) for my gorgeous consultant (and boy, is he gorgeous!) to stick his finger up where the sun don't shine and see if he can feel anything. Such advanced science!  Then another month for a scan.... then??

    I guess normally I am one of the silly irreverent ones, but some days things  go round and round in your head- I don't want to...

    Well I’d like to thank you all very much for what you have done for me. To the special few that have my contact details and have helped me so very much, I just couldn’t have done it without you, I’m so very grateful and I hope we keep in touch. Sorry, but it’s time for me to move on selfish I know, but for me it’s what I have to do to survive this. I can’t think of any other way to do it. ...

    well everyone, this week has been my local hospital chemo week.  Definately better than a 30 mile round trip!

    Saw the onc monday morning, after having my bloods done earlier.  I actually went in early for my appointment and they were amazed at how well I looked.  When my specialst nurse came in she couldn't believe it.  4 weeks ago she was  pushing me round in a wheelchair.  The results were ok for my treatment on Tuesday, but No ca125 results, but onc said they could give them to me during treatment...

    Rug pulled from underneath me

    Today I just feel so sad, my aunt died this morning of cancer, strange thing we are not a close family, I have not seen my aunt & uncle for about 3 years. But today i just feel so sad.

    Dave has his ultrasound and biopsy today !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well the day has finally come.

    It feels like we have waited for months since his oncology appointment, but in reality its only been weeks. In them weeks we have yet again worn ourselves out with the worry and stress. Have not done it conciously either, but we know by this afternoon we could sleep for England and feeling totally drained.

    He had a strange lump appear before Christmas last year which turned out to be nothing, so hoping for the same result this time. Dave said this one feels different...
