After a tough weekend with my daughter (advanced melanoma affecting her liver and bowel) being soooo sick we are off to meet the hospice doctor to get help with pain and sickness. I am worried it is the start of a slippery slope into not being treated and being told to tolerate it. She has another chemo booked but the sickness seems to be because of her liver being affected.
We had such high hopes of the PLX4032 announcements in the summer but although her genetic material has been away for testing...

feel free to bob over, I started it three years ago, so the early posts relate to my first round with bowel cancer and i document my radiation, surgery and chemo .. and my stoma reversal operation ..
Now I have secondaries and an new chapter unfolds!
Hubby is definately doing better on his respirator, almost ready to come off of it, we had thought it might be today but they say he is not able to yet. So frustrating, he is very alert and getting restless, stuck in bed all day at the hospital. He is still in intensive care and will be until they can get him breathing well enough on his own. So chemo is on hold until he is strong enough to handle it. It is pretty scary waiting and nothing happening. His family has been coming for a few daysor a...
My husband died on the 2nd of October and only 6 months from his diagnosis of Kidney cancer. It had already spread to his lungs on diagnosis then a couple of month ago discovered the disease in his brain. Even although I had some time to get my head around it all I still sit and think what has happened? I sometimes cant understand what I am feeling it is too great to deal with. We were together for 33 years married for 30. How can I deal with life without him? I havea terrific family and good friends...
I woke up this morning, thinking about the future, I am currenlty single with no partner or children. and i think we will lucky if mum makes it through to the new year.
I will have no parents to introduce to any future partner, no father to give me away at my wedding and no mother to ask for parent advice, no mother to hold my hand through labour or help me get dressed on my wedding day.
I know theses are selfish thoughts but what a sad future i hold. and yet so lucky compared to others.
Hi all,
another spammer on board called Blessing4luv,
I have just reported to admin and deleted the fool!
Here we are at the beginning of another week and still no sign of Berts counts going up, At least though he is feeling better and managing to get up and walk round his cell. He had an infection in his line so it has been removed, they will put another in later for his next cycle of chemo which puzzles me as he was only supposed to be having 1 then his BMT. I have an appointment to discuss it with his Consultant on Tuesday so all should become clearer. They want a surgical opinion on his infected...
My father has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Not sure which is the primary, but will assume for now that it is the gullet. Unfortunately it had already spread to his Liver and Lungs.
I think everyone feels more positive now that we have seen the oncologist and my dad wants to try the palliative chemotherapy. (EOX) So, in preparation for the chemo starting on Monday 26th October, he is to be fitted with a stent on tuesday. We were expecting this to only take a few hours but he has been...
