My Urologist has asked me to have a bone scan as should their be spread to the bones another treatment would be recommended (Chemo)
Well I had the isotope injected and duly returned for the scan some 3 hrs later. The exam takes 1 hr during which there were dulcet tones played. I nearly dozed off, but suddenly became aware of the music. Yes it was Lloyd Webber "Time to say goodbye" I nearly fell off the couch with laughter as the operative had no idea and could not see through my gallows humour....
Well Bert has been home for 10 days now and enjoying being here. He sleeps almost 20 hours a day so I don't really see much of him awake. We have a couple of busy weeks coming up. Monday he has to have an Echocardiogram and Pulmonary Function tests, day off on Tue. Bloods Wednesday. Bone Marrow Aspiration on Thursday, Dentist on Friday. so All of that will tire him out more. I am still on a mouse hunt as it was back again last night. It really is quite cheeky we have 2 spare bedrooms and it...

I had my MRI and CT Scans today at the Lister in Steveange.
Couldn't decide what CD to take, took 3:
James Taylor's - Greatest Hits
Matchbox Twenty - Exile on Main Street
Keane - Hopes and Fears
Decided to go with James Taylor, It was quite noisy and hard to hear, should have taken Linkin Park!
Then had the CT scan, worst part was the orange drink, it didn't taste too bad but its a lot to drink when you can't go for a pee.
The CT scan was quite quick...
Well woke up this morning and thought I may have recently given birth...all the mums out there will know what I mean when you ar breast feeding and you suffer from leakage. The side of my body that still has a boob was soaking and the bed, then I realised that the wound site had been leaking during the night (sorry if that is too much info) but not too worried as had appointment to see the wonderful Claire to have it drained today anyway.
So total bed strip and into the bath then off to the hospital...
I can't get myself up out of the arm chair, Having a really bad day. Wish I could talk to her.
Mom passed away at home tuesday 3rd november 2009. 8 weeks from diagnosis to death. Had chest infection she couldn't shake, then next thing we know in hospital for 3 weeks, told she had cancer in her lung, shoulder, hip, lower back and top of spine. Only back at home for 5 weeks, then gone, how can that be? It's all gone so fast & now I feel lost.
At least she's at Peace & no more suffering...

At last Bobbie has had MRI Scan and CT Scan yesterday, to see if any damage has been done from the radiotherapy overdose. Now all we have to do is wait for results on the 24th Nov. He should not have to be going through this, has lost all his confidence in the hospital, don't blame him. Thank goodness for PALS at the hospital, if it wasn't for them I think we would still be waiting for scans to be done. Just got to try and build his confidence back up now and try to get him back on a positive outlook...
I went for a walk with the dog tonight. Rain has many beauties, one of which being it hides tears well. Thoughts are racing at the moment. I want another chance to make things work. I want Mel to beat the cancer this time. I'm sure if we had another go, we'd beat it.
So many things we'll never do again, so many things we'll miss out on. There are no answers. I remember the consultant saying "it wasn't fair"..... too bloody right!!!
How am I going to get through this...
