Well it is day 2 of chemo 4. Despite the fact I have domestos running through my veins ( I have a pump attached for 5FU) I feel pretty good. My side affects are nowhere as bad as No3. So hopefully this will continue and be a good one.
I hope others can feel this well during chemo. Only another 8 to go.
Lots of love Julie xx

Further to dad being discharged on Sunday he has not been right since but I thought it was good for mum and dad to spend some time again in each others company so I kind off let it slide, knowing full well it would only be days before we are back to square one. The district nurse came in this morning took one look at dad and told mum to call to get the GP out, the district nurse sat with dad the whole time she was there just cuddling him, she could see the decline in him. She was also disgusted at...
Im still feeling numb, since i live on my own everything feels normal when im on my own at home. But being up mums today clearning out her home, was heart breaking all her things, trying to decide who wants what and what we should throw, i feel so angry, theses are her things her house, why are touching her things? My brother and sister just iritate me, asking me to come for theres for christmas, they never wanted me or mum for christmas before it was always just us, ive decided im going away for...
I have recently joined this site. I wondered if there was anyone out there supporting a loved one with terminal cancer long-term. It is so difficult. I want the situation to end, but then again I don't want it to end as I know what the end will be. I care for my mum. She was diagnosed in September 2008, following a heart attack. I feel I just want to be with her all the time. Holding down a full-time job is becoming very difficult. We have some practical support, but as you all know, it's never...
Well, I think I have had the last chemo for now. I have an appointment in early December to determine which helping poison I should take next without burning out my platelet production. The trick is not to allow the cancer to get a foot hold inside me without my usual chemo. We shall see. In the meantime, I am knitting away a hat for my visiting nurse extraordinaire...a HE...and as compassionate a soul as you'll ever meet. If his personality at his home is anywhere near the person I see three...
Had a fantastic trip to Vegas - won £ 700 on the first slot machine I put money in, had a surprise renewal of vows ceremony and flew into the Grand Canyon in a helicopter - AMAZING, What an fantastic husband I have for arranging all the surprises!
Clive is still feeling ok although quite tired and has had an aching back for a few weeks, the oncologist has arranged for him to have a bone scan to check it hasn't gone int othe bones on Thursday. although if it has he can do some radiotherapy...
My wonderful Mum lost her battle with AML on November 14th at 1.20pm with all her family around her at home.
I am so sad but glad that she is now totally free of pain.
I love you Mom xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm gonna waffle on for a bit
Am new to this, always been the tough one, after reading some of the posts I realised I should have done this sooner, I actually phoned the Samaritans during the night, I was so desperate to talk to someone and of course sob my heart out, I cant talk to friends or family, I have to be strong for them. I just feel so alone.
My Tom (69) has lung cancer, spread through chest wall, and "eaten" 3 ribs, its inoperable, the chemo was unsuccessfull, it nearly killed him...
Its that time of the month again when dad is going for a check up with the consultant. I know that it is necessary as he is on a new drug trial but i hate it, every month i feel scared, hopeless, helpless, hope for a miracle, fear of hearing those fateful words.
Not helping is the fact that its coming up to Christmas, we got told the day before christmas last year that he had cancer and that surgery/chemo/radio were all out. I really used to love christmas but this year would rather forget it completely...
