Apologies all round but this is much more cheerful than normal.
I'm in a local Sue Ryder Hospice. Considering my severe dislike of hospitals this is out of this world.
I have a room to myself, staff who are so cheerful, considerate and just downright lovely!! The chef is brilliant and tempted me to eat again, all fresh and home cooked. I think I'd be perfectly happy to end my days here!
On the treatment side, I can eat, I haven't slept so well for ages, much less pain, (less grumpy!!!) and and...

Went to Lymphoedema clinic wednesday and they have measured me for a new stocking and another appliance to go over the left stocking at an attempt to reduce the lymphoedema around the wound
They are also writing to my GP to ask for an alternative to Amlodipine.
Hi Everyone...
Its been a bloody long time since i last came on here, I think i was trying to bury my head in the sand!!
Well, I can say im back.... and ready to go.... It's been 14 months since Mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and a secondry brain tumour and at the begininging all seemed bleak, It was last August that the Doctors were saying she wouldnt see in Christmas 2009... Well, Guess what, She did and she is her with me fighting this bloody thing all the way..

I lost my darling Dad early Tuesday morning and am utterly heart broken.
He went for RT and the Marsden, anhour later was being rushed to St Georges, luckily we were able to get there and have have eye contact and he squeezed my hand, I told him I loved him. He quickly became unconcious, had a scan and he'd had a catastrphic stroke with major bleeds from the tumours.
He fought for 12 hours, through some things that will haunt me forever, and then the breathing calmed and he looked more comfortable...
I am really angry at my self
I have just realised it has been 3 months today since i lost my dad. 8th July-8th Oct
I can't believe it has been so long already and it still doesn't feel real. I am so angry that i hadn't realised til now, i know it's not a year or something but oh i don't know difficult to explain.
In a way maybe that means it does get easier.....at one point i could have told you how many days and hours:(
Where has the time gone?
I feel so sad now:(
Hi Guys Hope you are all doing well,
Well I have finished week 1 and although i haven't had any direct patient contact yet i have really enjoyed it. I have learnt how to do ob's and SAT's, oxygen, test for blood glucose, match for transfusions and lots more.
I nearly had a moment yesterday as during a conflict resolution lecture i had to do a role play exercise where my lecturer asked me to go up to the front infront of everyone and basically read through the notes and act out the senario...
