    A Lifetime of cancer - Today
    Well hubby is back in hospital for his second cycle of this regime ( never thought I would be hearing myself say that 14 yrs ago), which is now having ITs dreaded effects, you know, nausea - vomitting - sore mouth - piles etc etc. The two of us are feeling pretty low at the moment, this is something you never get used to even after seven relapses. It is like having your left arm cut off when you are apart, my brain which is usually quite intelligent suddenly becomes mush and I feel like a little...

    To cut or not to cut?
    Thought I would get 3 years remission but the tumour is growing again from what looked like a benign polyp in the kidney bed. There is also an enlargement of nodal tissue to 22mm.I am seeing an oncologist this evening and feeling a touch nervous as to the next line of defence. Will update my log tomottow, but meanwhile I am getting on with life . I am grateful for the support from What Now. Great to have someone to unload on. The Chat room is a real boost to moral

    Another day....
    I had my oncology appointment yesterday morning and as I had anticipated things have changed a bit!! When I got the results of my recent surgery I was given an idea of what they had decided to do as far as treatment goes and had gone with the impression this would be starting as soon as possible. But you know the docs they never seem to be in too much of a hurry. So anyway my oncologist wants me to have a PET scan to find out exactly what is going on in my liver this should be done within the next...

    Another one done
    Alan has had his chemo today another one done ,3 more to go .So soon on a count down fingers crossed. It was a long day left home at 9.30 and got picked up again at 4.30. Had to wait a long time for his chemo to arrive .Started it eventually at 1.40pm .Longest we have ever been . They have cut his GCSF injections as well ,down from 5 to 3 no reason given.So i am hoping this will not delay the end date for us.He only had the very early chemo without injections . Looking forward to the end and a holiday...

    Weekend survived with eleven platelets!
    Morning all - well me and my eleven platelets have survived another weekend. Had a good day in Edinburgh out for lunch with my two sons ( One is 31 and the other is 36 - I am only 57 but I started young - looks like I will finish the same way so maybe it's just as well! ) Also that's husband's night shift stint finished for a while - no longer have to worry about him coming in to find corpse as corpse will be lying beside him should I depart suddenly through the night. As some of you may have...
