This was so helpful and I got a whole 3/4 hour with my Consultant.
He looked at my eye through the special apparatus. What do they call that thin tall thing they look through with a light? Said he couldn't see any signs of anything concerning after the biopsy. The missing eyelashes mark the spot. He wrote quite a lot of notes.
Reassured me that the operation won't increase my eye pressure, which I noted the optician had found was borderline high.
I also asked him to check my face...
Hi my name is Mike i have just been diagnosed with cancer under the base of my tongue, I first noticed a lump in my neck and went to doctors straight away, the nhs have been amazing. I am waiting to find out what treatment I will have, has anyone else had this?
I think this is amazing that I will be able to chat with people who are survivors!
For the third time this year I am hearing about a peer with a second (third even) primary cancer...
when did they say
it had come back again?
knowing what to expect,
from this unwelcome friend,
would make event a Sainte,
face the news like a drain,
and the humour you found before,
hard to maintain?
there’s an aura of hope,
in the wishes we make,
and a bare faced control,
in the risks that we take,
and painting a smile
(though inside you shake)
and gluing on hair, once more,
just seems so fake?

As some of you know, added to the worry of my bladder cancer were a couple of strange looking moles on my partner's leg. I'm glad to say that he's seen the doctor who said that they are not cancer. He has to go back in a couple of weeks to make sure but she's pretty sure that it's not. Phew!
I have my two appointments tomorrow afternoon, first with the surgeon, second with the radiologist. I'm nervous now it's here. I will have chemotherapy if they recommend it having spoken...
my wife was diagnosed with small cell cervical cancer back in November. And recently she has been in a lot of pain so we have been back to the hospital for more scans to find it has spread to her lungs liver and lymph nodes and her abdomen and possiblely her brain but we don't have the results back yet. At only 34 years old with 2 children this has come has a massive shock to all the family. My question to you all is there anyone else out there that has had this type of cancer??
Thanks
...My emotions
When I had the prospect of my full excision biopsy, the results and then the diagnosis hanging over my head, I was feeling emotionally fragile. The whole process from when I went to the optician has been going on for about three months. After the diagnosis I felt a knot in my stomach for two days. I would wake up and think, "Oh oh, I've got cancer". I felt that I wasn't relating to people as 'normal' me. I'm also very good at ruminating over the same worries again and again until...
HI,
I'm 58, diagnosed with T2c poss T3a back in Apr this year, MDT are airing on the worst case, Gleason 4+3, I was given 3 choices of treatment Open, Robotic or RT.
I have got it down to Robotic or RT, I am already on HT, been on it for about 3-4 weeks.
Just asking has anyone had surgery only and been successful or likewise with RT. It appears that most of the bloggs I have read, once you have had radical prosectomy it is likely that you will have to have salvage RT?.
Many...
My new diet of more proteins, fats and vegetables with less carbohydrates and sugars is going really well. I feel a lot more energetic. Unfortunately I have the most enormous amount of wind. I'm thinking of storing it and using it to power my apartment.
