Hi all,
I am sitting here with the sun streaming through the window and a rather large glass of white wine. I must also confess to having scoffed a Krispy Kreme...
What do I have to tell you? Not much really. Why am I blogging? Don't really know if I am honest.
I wanted to tell you silly things, that I watch the twins asleep next to me and I feel a tear coming as I know I won't get to see them grow up. So beautiful they will be too I am sure. I know this because I watch their older brother...
8 weeks ago I found a lump now they say u don't feel any pain the reason I found the lump was stabbing pains through my breast. Went to doctor 3 weeks later I was at hospital convincing myself it was nothing !! Git mammogram after all the horror stories of it being uncomfortable I was pleasantly surprised totally fine, then ultra sound then biopsy (that was slightly uncomfortable but bearable I had to get biopsy of limph nodes too. Then went to see doctor he told me he would be very surprised if...
It's been 3 weeks now since my Dad passed away. I miss him so much not having him here now. But with Family and friends for support things have got a little easier. But still at times I get upset and break down.
The day he died at home I was so upset but at least he went peacefully and with no pain.
Its so strange not having him around now, So quite and strnage like he hasn't gone but he has just dosen't feel like it. We are moving on slowly but some days are bad and upsetting. It will take time...
Cancer cancer cancer flashed in my mind like a neon sign in the local takeaway. Why when everything is going well should I feel so bad?
In 2014 I had stage 4 penile cancer. I had four hours to contemplate the amputation of my penis before it actually happened. But think about it I did not, I just wanted to live. Despite the odds being less than favourable I am here today, having had a penectomy, node dissection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy so really I should be so empowered and full of...
Just over 7 years ago, I was doing the weekly shop in one of our local supermarkets when I thought let's buy some snacks. So after perusing the choices I settled for quite a large bag of dry roasted peanuts. Anyway that evening I was feeling peckish so opened the nuts, and of course I shamefully ate the whole bag.
Then at about 4 or 5 am the following morning I had the most excruciating pains in my stomach, so much so I was admitted to hospital. After a few hours the pain had subsided...
It's that time of year again were the Suns out, good news for everyone, everyone but me.
I have flown out to Queensland to care for my Dad who has terminal cancer. I'm scared as I'm soon to be on my own as my sister who flew out earlier has to return home. My Dad is desperately wanting to fly home and with the way he is at the moment I believe he could fly. He's is very ill but doesn't have any respiratory problems but has an oedema and stomach cancer. He probably has a month or two at the latest before the end. I'm desperately worried about coping, when I know at home...
Well I had my PET scan last Wednesday but due to the fact that the MDT team only meet on Thursday mornings means I won't be discussed until this coming Thursday.
I'm getting anxious about the results and the implications if my cancer has spread to the left side of my liver or elsewhere. The delays are weighing heavy. I'm certainly not getting enough sleep and feel that any delays will not help.
I'm not looking forward to my chemotherapy but just want to move forwards.
On...
I have decided to write this blog as I find this journey a lonely one. Most people don't want to talk about it or hear about it. I think maybe this helps my love ones handle it but there is so much waiting involved I'm finding it lonely . I hope to find others maybe going through the same thing to talk to.
It started when i noticed a growth on my stomach so booked in to see my Gp. She said it was more than likely a wart and need it shaved off . It was nothing 'sinister' so off I went fine...
My husband has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. This was discovered late August 2015 so we have known for 8 months. After the initial (immense) shock and the round of telephone calls to tell family and friends, how do I deal with giving information about the day to day details of his health and treatment?
