I had a totally fine blog written and went to post it only to realize that You all are five hours ahead of me and I think I was smack in the middle of the down time today. Hence, I lost my blog (there is no way to 'save' it that I am aware of). Boo hoo. Suffice to say that I even wrote one...there is the catharsis/therapy.
I am slowly getting over my cold. It is still a wee bit in my chest...never fully got hold in there. I think catching it on the day of chemo helped. The chemo won't let...
We went to the pain management clinic yesterday, it seems that the tumour is blocking the lymph nodes in dads groin so his leg is swollen to double the size of his other leg. They are changing his medication he is being taken off the slow release and breakthrough morphine tablets and put on other kinds, I am not so convinced about this. His appetite has gone he is starting to show signs that me and mum knew would be a sign of him getting worse, things seem to be tough to take just now. I suppose...
Just read a report on our local news to say that Cancer Care Cymru, our local based charity, have now run out of cash. The Specialist Nurses that have been appointed to patients in our Cancer Hospital at Velindre, Nr Cardiff and Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Llantrisant, for the last few years, finally finished today.
Peter and I are so sorry to hear this and will miss our allocated Specialist Nurse Jane Humphries. We'd like to thank her for all her support since his diagnosis a year ago. We don...

Well he went to the dr's in the end. Not his GP but a locum. Says the pain/non movement of foot is probably muscular but has ordered a bone scan anyway. He also prescribed the painkillers my husband had a massive allergic reaction to in hospital!!!
Husband is grumpy and miserable, but I think it is just being in limbo that is doing it really.
His KC is a particulary rare type of RCC with sarcomatoid and rhabdoid features. They are still debating whether the clot on the lung is a clot or a tumour...
Think the Kalms are finally kicking in, the sickness is wearing off and the sweating is getting to a managable state I can now take the towel from under my arms....lol
The girls have just presented me with cards and gifts for my birthday and made me cry so just about to go and have a piece of early Birthday Cake with a glass of juice (oh the high life) let the phones ring I want my cake and I wanna eat it too.
Love Terri xx
Well last night was a rip raoring success, managed to eat some lovely casserole and even managed half a fresh cream eclair, I also managed to stay awake past 8.30 so was very chuffed with myself.
Woke this morning not feeling too bad at all, drove to London popped a Kalm cos I could feel that sicky feeling coming back. Trying to keep myself busy and not think about feelin sick but it seems to be unwilling to let go at the moment and I,m sweating big time (just lucky I have some trial samples of...
OK first time blogging so I'm not sure what I am doing.
God I could scream just about sums it up. I am fed up with his cancer!
I am worried and scared.
Came home from work this evening and he calmly informs me that he can't move his left foot properly. He sat on the sofa and sort of pulled his toes towards him, the right ones moved a good couple of inches, but the left ones moved maybe a cm. He then informs me that his arm feels heavy and his left hand feels a bit funny. He has had some...
