Arrived at the hospital yesterday morning at 8.30 as requested having talked myself into being positive when we got there they did all the normal questions date of birth height weight all that stuff - then they asked me have you been taking folic acid - no I said, it appeared that according to the records they had I should have been.
I explained that I had two appointments to discuss the type of chemo and the decision at the first appointment I was given a prescription for a vitman B injection and...

So, yesterday afternoon Dad was told that the cancer has spread to his lungs, chest, edge of the heart and liver and he will not survive.
He's going to have RT next week and chemo in 3 weeks to try and ease it and give him a bit longer.

Hi everyone
Just wanted to say that I had my last chemo session on the 22/9/2010. Not suffering too badly from side effects as yet although do feel a bit washed out today and have sore throat. Normally have an injection in my stomach day after chemo but decided against it this time due to the side effects. Just going to take things nice and easy for next few days then will have blood test to make sure all still ok.
Really sad to say goodbye to my chemo nurses as they have all been terrific and...

Hi,

I can't think of anything else this swelling could be as most other things I think the doc could have diagnosed just looking at it e.g. polyps, diverticulos, colitis...
Thursday.
A visit to see her consultant at the hospital, while nothing can be done the interest shown was reassuring. She used the wheelchair, I really must learn how to get it into the car boot. A further appointment was made for 6 weeks, the consultant saying she was sure she would be able to attend, a real morale booster. At home she used her computer, had lunch and tea (and a snack of a slice of pizza which my aunt brought over), and seemed pretty well. The District Nurse visited, and after...
