Been just over a year since I kicked the cisplatin habit. Can honestly say that not one part of me got on with it in any way - but it can sure kick some serious cancer butt.
Towards the back end of last year I was able to be objective about things - all I can say now is let that WMD do it's thing. There are no guarentees - and as it never signed the Geneva Convention be prepared for some collateral damage - however it is well understood and no reaction you have to it will be a surprise to the Doctors...
Chemo 5 went ahead without any hitches. Sal doesn't get much in the way of symptoms during the chemo session but she does get a "moon face" from the steriods.
She is quite well today, just waiting for the chemo fog to kick in in the next day or two. She says it is like having several bags of cement on top of her! Mind you, her appetite for ice cream hasn't deminished! Good job the golf is on TV for the next couple of days.
Sal's symptoms seem to have settled down into a pattern...

I originally came on here last year when my Dad was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer with secondaries in the peritoneum(spelling not a strong point) I didn't want to post then as I knew he may look on here for information and didn't want him reading about how desperately frightened I was for him.
Now I don't have that problem any more as he can no longer get out of bed and my once active, amazing dad is entering the final stages of his fight against cancer - A fight he is losing but still fighting...
what a week, errol has been in hospital feeling quite poorly again very confused, ct scan on the brain was clear and we were so happy , but that didnt last long cause then we were told the comparason ct scan was not good more mets on his liver, some had stayed the same but more had increased in size so sinitib is not working so advised to stop , that was such a shock for errol he really thought that with all the side effects it should be working, this is the first time he cried ( really cried) and...
I think I chose the wrong time of year to be diagnosed. Because the surgeon has been on holiday for two weeks, he has a backlog, and the list which I should have been on - 30th July is short of an anaesthetist. So the surgeons secretary (lovely and helpful, I have to say) says it might still be done then,but more likely on August 9th. But on the other hand the surgeon is trying to get some more lists, so it might be earlier.
It's now five weeks since I was diagnosed, and I must say that despite the...
When my sister phoned and told me our mum had been diagnosed with cancer, Myeloma. A gasp is what came out. I wonder what my mum did when she was told.
Hi, this is my blog about my mum, her health and what effect it has on me and my family.
Funny what goes through your head, mine is usually rather empty or thinking about cakes… I like cakes. However those thoughts vanished — I thought what an idiot! Why did I not think something else was up. My mum had never complained about pain like this....
