    Its kind of everywhere??
    Firstly I just wanted to thank all of you wonderful people out there who posted such lovely messages to me last night. It really means so much to know there is so much support...I in turn wish you all the best too!! So I had my oncology appointment and the results are a little different to what I expected but I suppose thats how it will be from here on in, unpredictable! The PET showed that my liver is fine (YAY) but that I have quite extensive lymph node involvement. More so than first thought...

    Chapter 2
    Today is proving to be a little 'difficult' so please forgive my ramblings. Joe and I returned from hospital on Wednesday and are expecting the results of his PET scan today. His laparoscopy was promising, no visible signs of the cancer spreading, but I have a real sense of unease today and im not sure how to deal with it. Hospital was not what I expected and our keyworker let us down. I had arranged to meet her on Monday to talk and visit ITU to meet the nursing staff and discuss the level of...

    I'm Scared
    Been to see my hubby Martin in hospital today. He had his op on Thursday, he is feeling sick & very tired, totally different to usual. After all his previous ops he has bounced back & by day 3 he is frothing at the mouth to get them to discharge him. He isn't one to moan, he doesn't like to bother or worry anyone, so I know he is def feeling poorly - this time they didn't actually remove the tumour, they've said it's inoperable this time, too dangerous, now we've got to wait for an appointment with...

    Results tomorrow
    Just a quickie tonight as I am really tired and going to go to bed VERY soon. I get the results of my PET CT tomorrow where I will find out if I have cancer in my liver as well as the lymph nodes in my neck/chest. I suppose it doesnt really make much difference if it is in my liver or not...the cancer is back and has already spread. Maybe it just seems more 'serious' if its there, I dont know. I will also get the official result of my MUGA scan although the tech did tell me it was 60% which didnt...

    Starting to get a bit worried
    It is a few weeks since I was last on the bolg site other than to follow what you are all up to, but as the time for my next visit to hospital gets closer the more concerned I become. Since I did my first blog I have had more blood tests but no more results. I have to wait 'til the 19th of this month for those and all the other tests I have had done. I dont know if any of you out there have had to play this waiting game, but if you have how did you cope. Do any of you like me live alone and have...
