Thursday 3rd December Plumber came back and sorted water - trouble is it's all brown. It's going to take a while to flow through. In the meantime, I don't trust it to wash in never mind drink. Wet wipes and bottled water for now. We rang environmental health and someone's coming out to test it next Wednesday. We have a spring supply and the plumber’s been looking at the junctions and piping in to the house - think a fair bit is going to be replaced which is great long-term. Boiler's being replaced...
Visit to surgeon went well he thinks the swelling is in my sliver-gland and not the thyroid glands.
He has booked me in to have a full body scan just to make sure every things OK. I know I'm getting better each week we're taking the dogs out most days and the walks are lasting about an hour. Still needing a sleep most afternoons. Stomach ache after eating still. Taking pain killers morning and night to help but I was told it would be a slow process to get back to full strength. After reading...

Today was a good day. Work was funny and productive, one of my Uni friends might be coming over from Tokyo to work in London and I got a fab wig that looks awesomely natural. Today I'm a happy bunny.
Got my scan tomorrow, and a nice lunch courtesy of a business contact and seeing Breakfast At Tiffany's in the evening. All round busy but nice hopefully. Gonna be knackered by 10pm! And I have to fit some birthday drinks on Saturday night followed by some indoor snowboarding on Sunday morning....

I am likely to have hand and foot syndrum, eg sore hands and feet. this is likely to happen after the next chemo which is on wednesday the 9th.
what l found hardest was that in the second week l got so...
Hi , my dad has finally (we think) been diagnosed with urachal cancer after being told it was bladder, then bowel and now back to a `bladder` type cancer. Has anyone experienced this cancer? We were first told he had a tumour in August and we are still having test/scans/mri's etc. My Dad is convinced there is nothing wrong with him on some days as he feels well and is in denial. Then he has a bad day and is `not going to make it`. I don't know how to help him. I have become obsessed with reading...
