Hi everyone,
I haven't blogged for a long time so much like everyone on this page has days when I guess we don't have time. My husband is due to get his balloon kyphoplasty in a week and then in another week he is due to have another endoscopy to see if his duodenal ulcer has healed hopefully it has and then the dexamethasone can complete the mix. He has not been allowed to have the cyclophosphamide recently as his white cells over the last two week have been below 2 but tomorrow we start...
A very good evening to everyone.
16 down - 4 to go and radiotherapy is over. I have an appointment for brachytherapy next Tuesday and really not looking forward to that but then the treatment is complete - absolutely brilliant. So far I think I've got off very lightly so long may it continue.
Today my husband has been given 6 months notice from his job in America so we are coming back for good. I feel as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Although we have American health...
It can be survived! I had the big 7 hour op in December 2008, total pancreatectomy, pylorus, spleen, gallbladder, duodenum, lymph nodes and all that, followed by 35 days of RT (after a bit of recovery time) followed by 4 x 3 week cycles of chemo and this weekend, 11 months later, was told my scans were clear !! Surgery in time is the key but it is possible to fight it off so hang on in there people and never give up!
My Friday appointment went well, my consultant said i looked well and when i said i was in a new relationship she said i knew there was something different about you!! But they have put me on HRT has im only 34 the likely hood of me getting osteoarthritis is high, but i read the side effects which i wish i had not! but is there anyone who is on it with any words of advice Please
xxxxx
It is with slight nerves that i will be going to the Oncology dept tomorrow to find out what sort of cancer i have now for the 3rd time.
I have had countless appointments over the past few months and somehow feel that something more direct could have been done by now especially as this Lymph node has been on the oncology radar for the past year. Have been to Royal Brompton to have an EBUS Biopsy, which i hasten to add if the sedative does not work as it did to me, the experience is horrifying...
I haven't been to church since I was in my late teens, although I sometimes go on Christmas Day, and that is why my hubby has nicknamed me a Christmas Catholic!
Well since being diagnosed with the return of melanoma in the summer I have increasingly felt the need to start going back to church, and so I made the effort yesterday. I am so glad I dd now, not really for my benefit but for my parents. You see it was announced at the beginning of mass that my mum's best friend had died during the...
I haven't blogged for a while, but I'm hoping someone may have some feedback on this problem. Dad is having very disturbed nights, where he sleeps quite soundly for about 4 hours, then spends the next however-many hours dozing and disoriented, mumbling in his sleep, and sometimes not knowing where he is. He's then absolutely worn out and distressed the next day. Often he then spends most of the day sleeping. Of course, during the night he also disturbs Mum, who gets up and makes tea, etc to try to...
