Not a 'Belle Jour' at all.
It was helping - this writing a blog business. But it is slightly creepy, this idea that you have, foolishly, trusted people on a site like this, with things you would not have said to anyone you felt did not understand and to ....well, blah, to all that.
Do you know how I really spent the day - after I have picked myself up from the stuff going on here? On the phone, to explain to the GP that to someone with cancer of the oesophageous, who can eat very little...
woke up and it was 8.30 - i am normally up and getting ready to be going off to the dog field at this time - my little one was in the lounge getting ready for school - she wouldn't go straight to school though as it is not the done thing to go into school half way through a lesson so we would have to wait until 10am - what do i do - mia was sat there looking at me with tail wagging - i decided that even if i only got half an hour before school i would take her to the field while the little one...
Hi everyone
My lovely sister in law has just found out that she has secondary bone cancer(primary in the breast)She has been told that she will be having zometa(a bisphosphonate)by infusion but she has problems with her veins and with canulas so i was wondering if any of you lovely people know of any other way it can be administered,apparently it can't be done with a hickman line.
Any advice would be great
Thanks in advance

Hi,This time 7 weeks ago I was just coming out of the Gym as per usual, I thought I had better chase up my Pleural Biopsy results as it had been 6 weeks since I was in hospital. My wife and I were thinking no news is good news,how wrong we were. I now await appointments for radio/chemotherapy. Mesothelioma (I can write it but cant pronounce it) Thanks for taking your precious time to read this
A friend has head and neck cancer. Palliative treatment only now. His partner phoned me tonight. (they live 200 miles from me).. He has a PEG tube in for the past few months. Tongue is gettting bigger and she is exhausted with all the washing because he is dribbling and coughing up fluids. I think she needs help with this and have been looking on websites for disposable waterrpoof pads to protect bedding etc.
Apparently these will not be supplied by nurses. Why ?? Macmillan nurse has been out today...

Feeling like its all a bit much at the moment. Clive has been a bit down as his back is giving him constant pain and the cocodomal has bunged him up.
As I like to be busy, i am finding it hard seeing Clive not moving off the sofa much, and me rushing around doing everyrthing. Then I feel soo guilty for feeling cross. Clive says it feels like he is waiting to die, and isn't very motivated to do much at the mo. Anyway we are off to get results from bone scan tomorrow, so will see what oncologist...
