I have just found out that a member of my family has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We are related by marriage and she isnt a close family member but I am going to give her a call later to give her my love. All we know is she is having radiotherapy so hopefully everything is in its early stages and she has a good outlook. Also my aunt who I am quite close to has had problems with breast lumps throughout her life has just had a total duct excision, which I had on my remaining breast in January...

Hi everybody,
My nephew is going for his routine three monthly scans today. It's always a nervous time but when I spoke to my sister last night she told me he had been getting a bit breathless. Now very worried that the cancer has spread (he had a large synovial sarcoma removed from his thigh in Aug 08) as the next place it could go to would be his lungs. Feeling frightened.
hubby has been diagnosed as terminal lung cancer now, may see xmas, hope so, it is still fear of the unknown, i do not understand this site, not very easy to use, waiting to see how he progresses, does anyone else find themselves in this situation, i feel i am the only one, i am 42, hubby 53, need someone to talk to who is going through similar?
Went back to work yesterday, a job my Mom hated me doing. Had an offer of a internal transfer and because life goes on I decided to start afresh & take the transfer. My current manager doesn't even seem that bothered that I'm going! So I'm so glad I decided to move on, my Mom would be so chuffed :-)
I had a very relaxing and peaceful time in Newfoundland. It is so beautiful there. It was exactly what I needed, a complete break. Now back to reality. It was very difficult to come home to an empty house. Today I decided I can't look at Dan's empty chair in the living room so am rearranging all the furniture. I will still see the chair but in a different spot so hope that will make it a bit easier. I do feel somewhat stronger but am still very emotional and couldn't think of going to work...
Bert's Neutrophils have crashed again 2 weeks ago they were 2.9 now they are down to 0.4 Not good news.
Today he had his Bone Marrow Aspiration but we will not get the resuts until Next Wednesday.
We have had a really busy week with appointments and next week will be the same. Bloods on Tuesday, Results on Wednesday, Thursday we go to the Beatson for pre- transplant discussions and Friday he needs to get a new Hickman Line inserted, all of these take place in different places. In between all...
With all the best intentions in the world, had a lovely relaxing bath and settled down to get a good nights sleep..........4,30 am and I am still awake.
When hubby woke me just wanted to tell him to cancel the appointment and leave me in bed, but managed to drag myself out and get going. Got to the hospital 10 minutes early then had a 40 minute wait. My consultant wasnt there today but I was seen by one of his crew (very nice man) who I had seen on the ward the day after my operation. He explained...
Hi
I'm really not too sure what all this 'blogging' is about but I'm looking for some company!
I have just been diagnosed with a series of metastases in my spine and possibly in my lung. (I have been through surgery to stabilise my spine and can't remember what I was told, and what I dreamt!!) Hopefully I will find out more next week when I see the Oncologist.
I was so sure it was all cured and 5 weeks of radiotherapy was the worst I was going to get - I'm trying to be positive...
