My next scan is in a couple of weeks and I'm starting to worry about if the Irinotecan will still be working. Will have had 8 doses of it when the scan happens, and the last scan after 4 doses showed it slowed right down in reducing the main tumour in my liver. I don't know if that's bad, normal or still good. After having had a failed result with Oxiliplatin after 4 doses it's all a bit scary. Not sure what they'll with me if it has stopped working. The idea that it might mean there's nothing...
Hip hip hurray, finally managed to get some sleep, think the red wine was a contributing factor, it certainly took the edge off for when Jedward were on lol.

Neck was really aching so my brill hubby ran me a bath (with candles) and off I trotted to soak while he...
I hate that you are not here to share these long nights. The gardens are underway are taking shape. Your shed is gone, honey. I am sorry but it was too big for me. I have a smaller one now. Our Clare and Chris are having another girl....a sister for Lana. You would adore Lana, John. She is so cute and would cover you in kisses.
I would give anything to be able to hug you and for you to hug me back. I miss you so much, it still hurts. I hope wherever you are that you know that I love you and am trying...

Hi
I'm new to the Macmillan online world, I only signed up yesterday, and I've been really unsure how to introduce myself. Well... I suppose I should start with the basics. I'm Holly, and my fiance was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago with bladder cancer. I had him admitted to A&E after he started experiencing extreme discomfort and losing a fair amount of blood. We found out at A&E that his bladder was full of blood which is not a very good sign at all so they had him transferred to another hospital...
Still haven't heard when I am getting my Urostomy, surely it must be in the next 2 weeks.
Can anyone who has been thro' this tell me how long the op takes and how long will I have to stay in hospital.

Had a panic moment this morning when a letter arrived from the hospital with appointment for a NM whole body scan on Tuesday. Now the dilemma is do they know something and are just not saying or is this normal.......I have put a positive spin on this by thinking that at least I will have had a full MOT...
Well dad is all settled in the hospice. The ambulance came to pick him up yesterday and they wouldnt let mum go with him so mum was really upset called me and I was upset, I think it might have dawned on her that he wont be home now as she was telling me before he was picked up that he might be in for a week and then home, I tried to gently tell her then felt awful when she called me in tears. I left work and met her to go in and see him, when we got there he was sitting in a really comfortable electric...
