Took hubby back in last night for the final round. He was exhausted and needed platelets, blood etc but they kept him waiting hour and half at 9.30 at night for his bed.
Lift was broken too so we had to walk up 2 flights of stairs with 4 bags so he was breathing really heavily and not feeling too good.
I hope they sorted him last night and going to see him today and taking birthday cake so hope he is feeling lots better.
I also hope this was just a glitch and in 2 weeks time they will send him...

Too many highs and lows this week. Today was a good day though as it was first day in the office since I was told about my 'mass' and my last day before our holiday. I got loads done and it felt pretty 'normal' and was a relief after the unexpected excitement of the last two weeks. Although my line manager was aware of the situation I also briefed my fellow manager colleagues today but stressed until I have my results I don't want the rest of the staff told anything.
So I clocked...

On Thurs we needed to be back home as Alan had his Hosp chk up,two days before he mentioned a new lump so docs have been told and hes on watch and wait for 6 weeks .

My mum is 68, she was diagnosed with breast cancer 13 years ago. She had the lumpremoved and recieved chemo and radiation. She was then on Tamoifen for a number of years.
6 years ago she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in the lungs and bones. She received chemo and radiation again and worked her way through the hormone cancer drugs until none of them worked any longer. This bought us to October 2010.
The cancer had got worse and she was in a lot of pain walking. By December she washaving...
I lost my Dad on the 3rd August 2009 when i was just 17 years old. It was only 6 weeks after he was diagnosed and it all happened so quick.
He collapsed one night and i was forced to do CPR. Nothing helped and no one could help him, even the paramedics. He was pronounced dead 2 and a half hours after he collapsed.
I was always a Daddy's girl. My brother and sister are a lot older and had moved out of the family home. It was my Dad who was always there for me when i came home from school and who...
I am very scared and very lost. My Husband was diagnosed with bowel cancer 2 years ago, he has had several different treatments but nothing seems to be able to stop his cancer growing and making him iller. He turned 40 this year and the Dr's don't think he will make it to 41 in fact they don't think he will see my birthday in October when I will be 32, I am so scared at the thought of being a widow at 31, we have a 2 year old. I try not to think about it as it's too heartbreaking to think...
Hi
Not sure if anyone will read this blog but I'll give it a go anyway,
My mom was told she had renal cancer in december 2009, she came out of the operation fairly well but then had to start a form of Chemo called sunitineb which she took for around 12 months. She also had to have some radiotherpy on her lumbar spine and most recently on her T-spine.
The radiotherpy this time round really knocked her about she was in a lot of pain and had to go onto some pain patches, which also had there...
Next week I have an appointment for a check-up and, as always, I am getting a bit nervous and apprehensive. It is almost three years since I was diagnosed with mouth cancer but somehow the fear comes back when I have to go to the hospital. My mind plays games and I am back on the table with the mask firmly in place having the radiotherapy..........but I should be grateful for the fact that this cancer has been destroyed. I shall strive be positive and keep smiling !
One week in and not so bad yet!!!!!!!
A few mouth ulcers, a little bit of nausea and an overwhemlming feeling of tiredness but otherwise ok. Oh and the body rash from the antibiotics that makes me look like a 17th century pox victim lol, but if it keeps bugs at bay i can live with it. Adelaide is behaving herself rather well and even the teenage son is doing housework wihout being asked, yes i must be ill lol.
So in all not a bad start to chemo!!!!
