Hello, I received my first dose of GemCarbo today and I'm feeling a little off but too bad, I'm just wondering if anyone has had or is having this treatment at present and how has it or is it affecting them??

Hello - I am new to this. I need a "safe" place to put some structure and sense to my feelings and thoughts and I ended up here. My Mum was diagnosed with small lymphocytic lymphoma in August 2009. They (as in the medical folks she saw) had thought it was a bad cold, overactive glands, pneumonia and finally Swine Flu (that was whilst in France) and then it was finally diagnosed as cancer. It did not come as a total surprise as there was some nagging thought at the back of my head and I took some...
Hi All,
Just to let you know the lates - our christmas cruise was not quite as good as I had expected, and I ended up confined to the cabin for 72 hours with a tummy bug! I did manage Christmas day and New Year's Eve, but the bit in the middle disappeared. We got home and within 6 hours my husband got the bug as well, but worse than I was.

You wake up from your snooze....thirsty, peckish, and you need the loo....badly!!...

I hate it how there's more bad days then good days now... On the bad days it's like, when am I going to have a good day? Tomorrow? Next week? Ever? You just don't know... but on those rare good days, it's like, just waiting for those bad days to come back - probably the next day. You're given that little bit of happiness, and then it's snatched away again.
Yesterday was one of the best days I have had since before I was diagnosed in Jan 2011...
I didn’t plan on a re-match. One championship bout was quite enough but the great match fixer had other thoughts. So here we go again just when I thought I had reached my former fitness levels.
I came out fighting but succumbed to a few body blows which had me flat on the canvass. Luckily for me
I have the best team in my corner. They get me up, sort me out and persuade me to duck and dive all over again. So here I am up and on my feet again ready for anything. Some of the spectators are shouting...
Hi everyone
Its been nearly two months since my last post and I dont know where the time has gone.
Christmas was great...... we went to our daughters for dinner and came back stuffed to overflowing........ Boxing Day they all came to us along with no.3 son and his partner and little girl and our latest grand-daughter and her mum.
Hubby is now having counselling with Macmillan but it doesnt seem to be helping much...could be the time of year as we have not long had the anniversary of his brothers...
