Friday morning we got the date through for admission for Bone Marrow Transplant, it is the 7th December. Now I have mixed feelings about this transplant. Firstly Bert needs to be in remission and we wont find that out until nearer the time, he also has to have a variety of tests on his heart,lungs, kidneys & liver oh and they also have to make sure he has no STD's or HIV..Before they do the Aspiration to find out if he is in remission.
They have a flat n the Beatson so I am going to try...
this is my first entry. my mum was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer last october and is currently on her second course of chemo, she does not seem to be responding, she has also has radiotherapy on most of her spine to treat tumors there. she has a visible lump on her throat which does not seem to be getting any better and i am scared that the consultant will soon say that they will stop treatment. my emotions swing from positive, seizing the moment, to utter despair and loneliness. i feel like...
Wow this rollercoaster we are on is bumpy. I was saying to my husband that dad is like that Forrest Gump saying 'like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get next'. From the sheer frustration and rage he was feeling the other night to last night when he was feeling a great deal of pain and not good at all to tonight, well what can I say about tonight. He was sleeping when we first went in so I figured he was quite sore again he woke up and we said hi then he fell asleep...
Hi Everyone,
Firstly great news about Andrew...way to go hun.
Just got back from hospital and the op is all done, thought I had got my head round the mastectomy...how stupid of me.
Spent this morning sitting on the floor in the shower room in the hospital sobbing my heart out. When the nurse came round to change my dressing ready to go home she asked if I wanted to look at the op site and again sobbing began, I couldnt do it, couldnt bring myself to look because then it would be real and I would...

Almost a week at home alone and it hurts so much. I miss him so much. I am going to get away for a week on Sunday, going to visit a relative in Newfoundland where I have never been and have no memories. I do hope that will help, I don't have much interest in anything right now. Just trying to get through each day as it comes. I did get a note to be off work until December and I expect by then, I will be not want to be home alone any more. This has been a tough week and I cry all the time. I do...
Hello all - I did start a group called Hillingdon & Hayes Chat & Share a while ago and notice I got some members - I just wanted to say thanks for joining but I was a bit "tied" up with my own health getting myself back on track after Bob's treatment and didnt do much with the group for which I am very sorry. If there are any out there who want to join me and have a chat about our problems, carers and cancer suffers together then I will be monitoring my group alot better now...
Hello my darling husband. I dont think I believe in the afterlife but just in case, I hope you can hear me. It will be 18 wks on Saturday since you had to go. It is so hard and I just cant see it getting any easier. There is just this empty space next to me everywhere I go. When I am work, and the phone rings, for a split second, I think that it may be you ringing in like you did. It is all so painful. I really dont know if I can go on without...how stupid though because I have to. Christopher needs...

My story started on 10th May 2007 when I was told that I probably had about 2 years left to live. It was also the day I found out what life is all about.

Having some bone marrow taken - I wonder if there's any truth in it when the doctor tells you that some people hardly notice the procedure at all?
I recently went to have some bone marrow taken as part of assessing the extent of the NHL and this is how things went.
The during the time in the waiting room we at first started to pass the time by reading a 1998 edition of What Caravan, but soon we were distracted by the noises coming from the room where this procedure was taking place. The middle...
