hi first blog so bare with me .yesterday was a long day went to the hospital with mom it is a matter of days before she has the sutent tablet she had to have a lood transfusion on monday blood count down we are getting there though she is very positive thank god
Heard about CT scan, it's on the 17th and then see hubby's Oncologist at noon on the 24th for the results!!!
Need to know but even more terrified second time round :-(
I don't know how I'll be in 6 weeks time, but today will be my third zap and for anyone who is worried... it's not as noisy as an MRI scanner and it's much quicker. You can hear the swirling noise of the beam, but you feel no heat or pain during the treatment.
Best of luck 0: ) x
Thursday - well its now 4 days since the 'NEWS'. The emotions i have gone through in this 4 days i did not know i had .
The tears of 'why my mum' to the anger .Why this woman who didn't smoke , only ever had a occcasional sherry,ate lots of fish and did lots of crosswords .
The steroids have kicked in and she is happy she can now use her left arm , physios are helping her to walk.
Then she says' i would like to buy a new coat for the summer' and then looks at me and adds 'i...
Doesn't look like we will be getting home at all now. Bert has a Temp again, perhaps a chest infection as they say his chest sounds very crackly. He is passing so much blood. It is so heartbreaking to watch the man you love in such pain and be completely helpless, the most I can do is wet his lips for him and just be here. I am losing track of the days myself now.
He is hallucinating almost all the time, even when he does not need his morphine. at least he is a lot calmer than he was last week...

Arm is still numb and feels like it is swollen, so have to keep up with arm excerises, if anything else helps pls let me know x
I can't sleep!! Bob has a difficult decision to make in the next few days, that's if they can give him any more radiotherapy, we find out Tuesday. Does he go ahead and take the risk of the side effects or just stop treatment. Which ever option it's not looking good as cancer spread in his brain has become very aggressive now. It's pants and i want it to go away!!!!!!!!
I have been struggling to get my head around things over the last few weeks, I am hoping that this will help.
Me and my mum are very close and I thought the worls was going to end on Wednesday 27th January 2010.
She had not been feeling well since June 2009 and the doctors kept on telling her that she had a bladder infection and she kept on taking the antibiotics they were giving her and didn't question them. Over Christmas she wasn't herself, the bright and bubbly person who was allways game for...
