Where do i start, ive wanted to blog for a while but didnt know what to say, well i think its the only way ill be able to explain how im feeling, and no one else understands except you lovely people in macland,
I will start by saying , i may say im ok when asked ,but of course im not , what a bloody stupid question ! i personally think im doing really well considering ,so does my mac counsellor, some days are harder than others and their is not a minute when i dont have a physical pain in my heart...
went to the christie with hubby today, no chemo as he has a kidney infection, and thanks to the sharp eyes of his wonderful doctor who spotted a blood clot on his right leg, so nice injections instead to thin the blood , good news is he starts chemo on the mon 19th...hooray...........x
Changed the diet, chemo's going ok, a few side effects but coping well so far. The Radium is alo fine, just unfortunate have lat slots booking, which means I get daily delays. But at least I still able to do lots of things, although engery level wains later in day. friday night trips to the pub to catch up with the lads, have stopped , not just case of being sober, but I find it too tiring.
The Bowen tratments ghave done me proud, would recommend that to anyone about to start the chemo/radium...
Just wanted to say thank you all so much for your comments. It is really encouraging to hear your experiences. I will speak to the oncologist about the steroids and I hope I can be as brave as you have all been and go through with it. I fully understand that this is about potentially saving or extending my life but just goes to show how great my anxiety is about the treatment that I can even consider not having it. Am at least going away from here heartened to hear again may not be as bad as I feared...
Hi eveyone
It's now been awhile since I had my radio and I feel great again. For the last 2 days I have completely gutted my back garden - and I mean gutted!!! There were loads of trees and Ivy everywhere and not enough grass or flowers, so it's all gone. Took 3 cars, 4 trips to the tip to get rid of the rubbish - that's how much has gone!!! I just feel like I have my mojo back again.
But.... My left hand is really swollen - I've had to take my wedding ring off and my watch and it looks awful....
Hi to all, if you've read my blog about how I was feeling well this is to update.
Last Thursday I had what was one of the worst in my life, I have spent the last couple wks gradually feeling more and more upset the tears were flowing for no reason and last Thursday I shouted at my darling husband which some may say so what but my friends we have been together for 19 yrs and we have never shouted in anger. I was devastated as was he so we worked back when these feelings began and guess what it...
since being diagnosed with cancer , and 2 further recurrences ( one of them current) i have experienced extreme anger , which is so not like me pre diagnosis. is this normal ? is it my fault? i hate myself. please helpme somebody, i'm distraught
