Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2007. Already suffering other illnesses, heart & lungs (COPD). To date, only watch & wait with cancer.
My last blood test (one every 3 months) showed that my PSA level had risen from 5.1 to 9.8..... This is worrying for me, why should it have almost doubled all of a sudden? My GP has sent me through to my local hospital for another consultation (on Friday 13th of all days ha! ha!), but having only recently moved from London to Suffolk, all doctors etc are...
i am being positively pessimistic as my meeting with social services draws closer. it is tomorrow and is the first step of my tiny complaint. i have complained to social services about the nursing home that my father died in, i have complained to the nursing home that likes to ignore me, to my mp, to the care quality commission. and those complaints are just to do with my father dying in agony, not having morphine administered and left to basically drown in the fluid in his lungs. you know, minor...
Well round 3 starts tomorrow, that is assuming the blood test I have later is ok. I am apprehensive about this one as I believe this is the one where the side affects magnify. At least that is what I am expecting. I have been told that things don't really begin until the 3rd or 4h treatment.. Oh well heed my own advise, one hurdle at a time! Love to all Julie XXXX
Pleased to say that Bert's Neutrophls are coming up thanks to the G-CFS injections. However, his platelets are falling again now at 15. I am not sure what this means, though I know they won't do his Bone Marrow Aspiration while his platelets are low, but they keep changing their minds so who knows. We have a provisional date for Transplant which is the 9th Dec so he will be in for Xmas and New Year again. But I am sure I can cope with that. I am going to try and get somewhere to stay nearer...
ur most devastating moments r actually your holliest, thats when u see who u really r. u can either breakdown or break open
Where have the last 2 weeks gone, people around you just returning to normal,almost expecting you to do the same, but I cant the dont they realise my life has changed forever. The last 2 weeks have at times seem to have flown by and at others dragged. All I know is I miss my dad.I cant put on this brave smiley face and be nice to customers that moan that there car is taking a little longer than they thought it would. I want to scream at them. I just want to be me and if I am feeling sad be able to show...
I have just came back from the hospital from seeing dad and his consultant, dad is still the same, I knew when the consultant came to find me it was bad news. Dad is in the final stages now, I now have the hard job of going to tell mum as she is still at home I am just waiting for her brother to take me over to her. My grandma has now taken ill as well she has diabetes and has been having hypos for the past week so when I phoned to tell her dad was in hospital she told me that she had had another...
Well we wait for Thursday to see if the cancer has spread and to see if my dad should stay on the tablets or not. I think not but should I tell him that? His health had deteriorated so much with the weight loss, sickness, hair loss and lack of energy but he is terrified of being off them. He even rag the hospital on Thursday to see if he should carry on bless him. Do I tell him what I think and give him an alternative opinion or do I just let him do whatever he thinks is right even if that means...
