It gets to this point every night - ten pm...and I start thinking about bed...feeling the fear that another nightmare will come, the anticipation that I will spend a few seconds during my dream thinking that this isn't reality and then I go upstairs and am met with a game of musical beds.
SInce my darling hubby died, there has been more swapping of beds then I have experienced in my life.
Right now I am wondering whether I will meet my teenager or my six year old when I climb into my bed.....
i dont actually know what i'm doing, please bare with me?
the beginning?
I had been attending my local clinic as i'd had an abnormal smear test, the doc there had wondered why i had been sent there as it had been my first one.
they done a repeat smear and took a little biopsy whilst there, but said everything looked normal and they would see me in 6 months time.
i returned on sept 2011, had a different doc this time, he said there were borderline changes in the smear but the biopsy...
My 1st consultation was today at 13:00 although being told briefly on the phone about my biopsy being positive for Hodgkins we were both feeing awful waiting for today’s meeting.
My doctor was running late so we didn’t go in till 13:45 that’s the longest 45mins ever..
My doctor explained that the biopsy was only a small one so the tissue they had could not give them enough for her to give me a 100% answer but it was 95% positive for Hodgkins.
They will do a full biopsy of...
does anyone else with bladder/kidney cancer suffer from leg twitching at night? i'm sure it's related and it stops me from sleeping, it also disturbs my partner with my legs going 19 to the dozen so i end up trying to sleep on the sofa. i usually find that because of the way i lie on the sofa i don't twitch and i end up falling asleep but last night i awoke at 3.30am and my leg just wouldn't give up and kept me awake for ages
Hi all,
I used to use this site to help me grieve for both my parents that lost their battle with cancer.
I am now back because it may be that I have to fight this battle too.
I lost my mum when I was 16 and my dad when I was 19. Now I am 21 and undergoing tests to see if I have Lymphoma.
I have been going to the doctors for months because of worsening symptoms.. but doctor seemed baffled as to what it is I could have.
Then in July, 2 lymph nodes swelled and have not gone back to their original...
I’m still at that point where I’m just numb & fuzzy about everything.
I received a phone call Friday from the hospital asking me to attend an appointment Monday, I said I was working so couldn’t attend. The nurse/assistant was very insistent that I should attend but I was just as insistent that I was working and couldn’t just take a day off. She was very put out by this and said they would have to call back later.
I have had a few appointments for a couple of things...
Not having seen my GP for 15 years, and never been an inpatient as an adult, it came as bit of a shock to find myself passing blood in my urine, pain while trying to pee, and complete lack of sleep.
So I made an urgent appointment to see my GP. He passed me over to A and E, and then I spent a couple of nights in my local (small) hospital. It seems I had a tumour in my bladder.
Sent by Air Ambulance from Orkney( where I live) to Ward 44 Aberdeen Royal Infirmarmy where i spent 8 nights and a lot...
It's been nearly a year since my last blog, and firstly i would like to apologise for not replying to the individuals that posted very nice and encouraging comments on it.
its now been 2 and a half years, I've left school, i'm in my second year at college, and am planning to go to university next year to study to be a nurse, where i can then progress into training to become a Macmillian nurse. The help and support the nurses gave my family and i has inspired me to help others that are...
Been a mad few months since I was diagnosed...
But finally home and have the time to join the Community here and to start sorting out my head and how I feel about all this :O)
I'll post up more details of what's happened to me and where I'm up to soon but just saying Hello and seeing who's around right now.
So if anyone has similar experiences please say hello!
