went to the christie with hubby today, no chemo as he has a kidney infection, and thanks to the sharp eyes of his wonderful doctor who spotted a blood clot on his right leg, so nice injections instead to thin the blood , good news is he starts chemo on the mon 19th...hooray...........x
Changed the diet, chemo's going ok, a few side effects but coping well so far. The Radium is alo fine, just unfortunate have lat slots booking, which means I get daily delays. But at least I still able to do lots of things, although engery level wains later in day. friday night trips to the pub to catch up with the lads, have stopped , not just case of being sober, but I find it too tiring.
The Bowen tratments ghave done me proud, would recommend that to anyone about to start the chemo/radium...
Just wanted to say thank you all so much for your comments. It is really encouraging to hear your experiences. I will speak to the oncologist about the steroids and I hope I can be as brave as you have all been and go through with it. I fully understand that this is about potentially saving or extending my life but just goes to show how great my anxiety is about the treatment that I can even consider not having it. Am at least going away from here heartened to hear again may not be as bad as I feared...

I just feel like I have my mojo back again.
But.... My left hand is really swollen - I've had to take my wedding ring off and my watch and it looks awful....

I was devastated as was he so we worked back when these feelings began and guess what it...

Although its such a busy and friendly place wasn't a problem, plus I had my girlie friend with me keeping me supplied with drinks and chocolate!!!! Had a really lovely nan sitting in the chair next to me, 81 and having her first FEC bless her, she was funny tho because she deaf in one ear was shouting at the nurses and they were shouting...
