well today i started my chemo - arrived at the hopspital at 8.30am and didn't leave until after 6pm - it was a long day but everything seemed to go very well - i didn't sleep too well last night so i kept falling off to sleep which helped to pass the time away - during this last week my little one has been quiet and asking lots of questions regarding my chemo - when i went for my pre-assessment on monday i discussed with the nurse if it would be ok to bring her along with me for her to see...
Tuesday 1st December No fire because of boiler flooding the living room so 'had' to stay in bed late because it was the warmest place in the house. First phone call of the day was from sis-in-law telling us that nephew Sam and fellow crew were being held by Iran (for nearly a week already). Sh*t. Not the best start to a day but hopeful they won’t be used as pawns. Got up to a birthday breakfast of croissants and orange juice then off to hospital for IVE chemo CT scan results (do...

Well the Mri results sound ok, Johns tumour is appearing to slowly die, hoever within the pockets, cysts are being replaced.
If its not one thing its another! Steriods started and honestly, i think i need an atom bomb to get him up at a decent hour to take them as now to top it all there is sleepdistubances. Which convieniently happen only at night, and thus he sleeps all day.
Im exhausted, fed up and bloody lonely.
My days are consumed with waiting for him to feel better, and genrally running...
Hello All
I'm getting better each week until last week problem with lungs. Went to see the Doctor on Wednesday last week. He listened and confirmed they sounded more like an old banger than a Rolls.
So he made an appointment for me to have an X-ray the following afternoon, by Friday I'd got the results. Lungs clear with small amount of water in each. So no treatment needed. I also told him of swelling in two glands in my neck. He told me it could take 14 days but to contact my Macmillan nurse...
Fed up and feel sick. My surgery has been postponed from 4th Dec to 16th December. Was so ready mentally and now I have to wait another 2 weeks. I need an ICU bed on standby and they are full at the Brompton this week - the 'panel' had a meeting and decided I wasn't high up enough on the priority list and so I have to wait.
The irrational part of my brain is terrified it will grow or spread in the next 2 weeks. I know I'm being a stupid cow -bear with me, I'll get over it!
So having got my head round the fact that my hair is gradually thinning beyond recognition, I decided to pre-empt patchy head syndrome and start hunting out 'new hair' in the way of wigs.
Took a trip to Selfridges as they have a little concession there used by Hot Hair, first on my own, the next time with a friend. You'd think that they would train the staff to understand that it won't just be girls looking for 'party hair' that will use their services....well the girl that served me was...
