MRI tomorrow 25/11/09 and I'm nervous i feel fine but that don't mean nothing, i pray it don't show anything not sure if i can cope going through it again. i hope i don't have to wait too long for results and i hope my legs carry me into that horrible little room to get the results, think its going to be a week of not much sleep and the dark little demons trying to sneak in and take over the positive thoughts.

Someone mentioned in their blog yet another storm happening on this site. Well I think there will always be a storm of some sort here, were all people arent we....its what we do?? I wanted to remind everyone of something I am sure we all heard as children and it goes a little something like this ''If you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all.''
Anyway back to me because I love nothing more than talking about myself!! (hehe) Dan and I went to the local Hospice yesterday...
hi there - hope everyone is ok - well i have been really busy since i last bolgged but have managed to keep popping on and seeing what everyone has been up to - i went to have my tooth removed today - and as i have said before this is something that i was really dreading - i am so scared of the dentist - anyhow - i went with a PMA and guess what? it was out within a few minutes and i didn't feel a thing - it came out in one piece as well so i was over the moon - my fear of the dentist today has dipped...
Tommorow is my mums funeral. my brother and sister have took control with everything and i had little say, ok i thought people deal with loss in different ways.
They asked me to write the speach for mums funeral which you can read on the previouse blog. and they have re written it them selves, its no longer a love story/ fairytale which is how i saw my mums and dads life together its all about how they both were ill and died. as if we did't no that. im so mad im thinking of not even going tommorow...

Not a great nights sleep but then again there was no wine...cant turn into an alcoholic as well now can I.
Woke with a banging head (maybe I should have had the wine afterall) and no energy, this was not good as I was planning on going to work today. So 2 cups of coffee later and I am feeling half way human. Rang the mac nurse about my suprise appointment and she explained it was routine but that she did not know about it but when she checked she also warned me that I would be getting another appointment...
Hi,
Just wondered if anyone has been through the process of harvesting eggs before they started chemo??
I have decided to go ahead with it because I don't have any children yet and my boyfriend and me definately want a family in the future. It will delay the chemo by 4-6 weeks but I think it is worth it to have an extra chance at having children when all of this is over. It will be several years before I can even try to get pregnant because I have to have 5 years of hormone therapy after the chemo...
I finisished my five weeks of radiotherapy two weeks ago - and am still waiting the results of the CT scan for a shadow on my lung - BUT this morning I had a phone call from work. NO PRESSURE - BUT WHEN DO I THINK I WILL BE BACK AT WORK?
I am all confused - I have been signed off by the doctor - but feel I am not really ill. I am not really well either - but am not sure how well I am at present to do my job.
I have an Oncology appointment just before Christmas - but up to now every time I have...
My dad has terminal liver and lung cancer, i'm finding it really hard, we don't have the best of relationships and that's not going to change now. We are what we are and whilst I can accept that, I do feel shut out of things a bit.
He's in hospital at the moment with a blood infection, he's been in there a week and whilst the care he's getting is fantastic, they just can't seem to shift the blood infection.
I know this will be the first stay of many and the whole thing...
On Nov. 15-17, 2009, my son had his 17th course
of chemotherapy. After at least 20 hospital confinements since
January this year, from as short as 2 nights to as long as 2 weeks at a
time, this last in-patient session is a milestone for us. After ten months that ran the whole gamut of treatment from chemotherapy to
surgery to radiotherapy with major hiccups along the way, it was a
celebratory occasion as his doctors: urologist, nephrologist, thoracic-cardiovascular surgeon, and even the chaplain...
