Blogging can be a great way to journal your experiences and share with others. Why not create your own cancer journey blog, or have a read of other blogs created by our members?
Unsure how to get started? Take a look at our help pages on blogs.
Well I havent blogged for a while because have felt a bit rough but have been checking out the blogs on here. So glad that Skipper is on the mend and that Andrew is back with us.
Today was my first appointment with the oncologist and the results of the bone and ct scan. To say I was nervous would be a great under exageration, sitting on the ward waiting I was verging on a full blown panic attack and hubby could see this so just kept up constant distraction remedy and it worked.
Finally name is...
My keyboard has been burning up, not because I am blogging (although I have commented on a few blogs) but because I have been shopping online. Since I cannot shop out in the world like I enjoy...seeing all the sights and smelling all the smells, I have been doing it in here...lol. And I have baked a couple of batches of my mothers cookies...something she did every Christmas.
My tree isn't up yet. We still have to plaster the wall where the roof leaked (by default have new roof now) so we can...
Firstly, thanks to those for the lovely comments on my last blog :)
Now for the results...........
The tumours in my chest and neck have 'only' grown slightly.

Well on top of everything else I have broken my foot and am now in plaster for the next 3 months.
The Dr in casualty said my bones were probably affected by the steroids I am taking for sickness.
All I did was to come downstairs and on the flat my foot suddenly went CRACK!
A freak accident!
Just when I was getting used to my treatments knowing what to expect.( No 6 next week, ) I hope my break won't affect the timing.
Oh well these things are sent to try us! Love to All Julie xx
Hi, as cant sleep for painful infected toe,thought I join site.Also waiting 1 hour after taking Antibiotic tablet before can eat.Should have eaten earlier but lost track of time on computer. Need to change the dressing aswell. Is it coincidence or what, but since cancer treatment cuts/grazes dont heal as quick & often become infected. Immune system must be depleted?
Work been very hard lately & has given me lymphodema symptoms back.
There is more to all this than surgery & immediate treatments...
