So, today I went to see my doctor for a check up. She has been the most amazing doctor I have ever known this past year, and thank goodness I have her. I have a very good relationship with my doctor, I can talk to her about anything; her door is always open to me, she is always on the other end of the phone if I need her, she's even round at the house every few days checking on my dad now. If she wasn't my doctor I'd be hunting her down on Facebook and befriending her.

My blog posts don't seem to publish only the title. I just want to say i am getting stronger after my Stem cell treatment that took place in Barts over christmas . Now eating well and on the way to recovery. Feel positive doing everyday things that make me feel part of the community again. Wish all the best.
On the bad days, in those times when we experience what some call 'the dark night of the soul,' it is hard to remember that we are not alone. It may feel as though that is so, but if we can reach out, however shakily, there is help and support.
My husband has had a very difficult week, not so much physically, more struggling with what's in his head. It really isn't that long ago he received his diagnosis, and after a period of denial he is slowly coming to try and face the reality of that...
Well it says 'discription', so that is where I'll start. I've always had a very unhealthy relationship with mother, she's not really showed much love towards me in fact in my teenage memories are of her being jealous of me and hurling abuse at me whenever the mood took her..So that's how I would describe my relationship with her....Difficult. Mother was diagnosed with this brain tumour after having several falls and a seriously bad attitude problem (worse than usual)! So after the initial shock...
Is it ok to feel happy? Is it ok to feel excited? Maybe its just a high from all the jelly babies.
I woke up with that same Monday morning feeling, is the weekend really over again already? Just another day at work. I enjoy my job, I enjoy my friends... and most importantly its a distraction. They say a smile is contagious. Katie smiles like a cheshire cat all day long so its difficult not to be happy around her. Today I feel like I've been too happy though. Too happy and too excitable. Like...
My Dad found out he had cancer in May 2011, of the oesophagus. I hadn't seen him properly for 4 years and on and off for 3 years before that. My bf took me up to the hospital to visit him, on his Birsthday. What I thought was one of the hardest things. But actually, today has so far been my worst through this horrible fight. My Dad has caught a chest infection and has severe amounts of fluid in his lungs. To save the upheaval of taking him to an NHS hospital for antibiotics through the vein which...
district nurse came today to drain my lung......so tomorrow should be a good breathing day....
it's 5 days since the radiostactic radiation therapy I had and she said that my head will be most swelled up now and should start to ease off soon...
my forehead is looking a bit 'tanned' as well......
but...good news....apparently when i start chemo for my lung....it may heal up the gap in it a bit and i might not need it draining as much...
We all need things to look forward to....whether...
Hi ...
My partner who has Multiple Myeloma has just had his first dose of Pamidronate, bone strengthening infusion and I was wondering if anyone has had these and if so...how you felt etc? Melvin (my partner) is feeling quite rough three days later....feverish and chills, nausea.
Look forward to hearing from you.... Take care Kerry x
My dad is sleeping a lot at the moment.
I read him a few chapters of The Magic Faraway Tree a few nights ago, the story he read to me and my brother night after night when we were young. It meant so much to me. But it was the ultimate bedtime story, knocked him out for days! I didn't see him awake for 2 days after that. You would think I would have learnt my lesson... but when I finally got some time with him last night I read him a few more chapters, and now he is back frolicking in the land...
