Hi started this blog but do not know what i am doing really. Not sure how all this blog thing works so i hope i manage to create this blog.
Just want to write how things seem to be progressing with my hsubands illness.
Short description of how things are. My husband is a stroke victim and is unable to communicate but his intelligence has not been affected. It has been like this for 12 years and i have basically made most of his judgements for him or as the medical profession put it i am his advocate...
It has been a difficult few months since the ileostomy reversal but over the last 2 weeks things have started to improve slightly......hurray!!!
I took some antibiotics that my gynae consultant gave me as he advised that radiotherapy can kill a lot of the good bacteria in your bowel and make some nasty stuff grow. During the treatment I felt like I had gone back to square one but once the treatment finished I have to say things seemed to settle bit. I am still unable to go out unless I don't eat...
The last couple of days were going quite good for my wife... then today she started to feel the chemo side effects. It is very scary being only able to sit there watching her in pain. The niurses and staff are fantastic and sympathetic. I have started to become acclimatised to the situation, not happy but accepting it, i am still absolutely petrified. I have noticed hair coming away from my wife just the odd strand, maybe its my imagination but i dont know???? I try to brush them away when she is...
my wife started chemo today she has been put in a trial and is getting standard dose. sofar so good she hasnt felt ill, it is so scary when the docotrs talk to you , they can be so brutal yet caring at the same time, yesterday was a bad day, we had THE TALK for the secondtime my wifes blood pressure dropped to a scarily low amount, i cried which made me angry because i didnt want to cry in front of her, i feel i have to be strong for both her and our children (not that i let her know i was angry...
Changes are a coming!
Where do I start?
Those of you who maybe don’t know me, I’ve been trolling around this site for a few years after a diagnosis of rectal cancer. I had chemo/RT, surgery which resulted in a permanent stoma and more chemo. I’m now two years post op. and crossing everything that things will continue in the good
direction that it is at present.
Most of you also know that I am a brittle asthmatic and it’s this I want to share with you. In my mid
twenties...
I woke up tired today, dont know if its just because im tired or something more sinnestor, that the problem with this stupid illnes, it makes your mind play games.
I couldent sleep the night I was told my lump was cancer, I layed bed and all my joints were aching and I was busy convincing myself I had bone cancer, in reilaty it was more to do with the fact that we had walked the dogs for 2 hours while we were trying to get our heads round things.
Busy day at work, I cant seem to get it through...
