Well thats the op done and dusted.
Arrived at 8 for and 8.30 appointment as we were worried about traffic, managed to park on the farm track so free parking for the day. Booked in then down to x-ray to have the nucular stuff injected and wandered around for an hour and a half waiting for it to work round my system. Back to have it x-rayed and nodes marked, everyone wishes you luck which I find very un-nearving then back to sugical admissions.
Saw the doctor then went down to theatre at 12.35, woke...
Hiya you lot just wanted to update you on the job front.
GP appointment went really well and he was very supportive giving me ideas and making me see I was just lacking a bit of confidence. I seem to think I have no skills after such a long time out of work but i'm willing to give anything a go honest guv!!!!
He suggested I go home and pick up the phone to DWP to start the ball rolling. SOOOOO that's exactly what I did. A very helpful lady explained the protocal. I get an appointment at...
This is the first time I have ever spoken about my situation and I'm not sure where to start...My name is Lucy Everitt, but my parents always called me Lou. I'm 19 years old and I feel as though I'm 200.When my mum was little she had a tumour in her cheek which was later removed, When I was young I remember my class mates teasing me and asking what was wrong with her, snarling and asking "Has she just come back from the dentist", because of her slightly larger cheek. but to me nothing was wrong,...
went out with Dad for coffee, he looks really well and healthy, i cant quite believe that his results are bad! he has an appointment to start chemo at the end of April and I haven't a clue what to expect. I know I will take charge and be strong for the rest of our family, specially mum, but I need someone to talk to!!
I had grade 3 breast ca in 2007, left mastectomy,axillary clearance and big fight for life after 3 infections, so no chemo, just radio and herceptin. Asked for DIEP recon. last year and told 3 month waiting list. Well, one year on I have just been cancelled for a third time! Its so frustrating as I know this op is a biggy and I am trying to keep as well as poss. My husband doesn't want me to have it as he says I look okay to him and he doesn't see what I see - exactly! I am 52 and feel like...
i was diagnosed with cancer of the womb yesterday and am awaiting results of the scan to see if my cancer is anywhere else. I have heard the word many times before but it has such a impact when it is used to you directly. im 42 years old eat a health diet and run regularly, but finding it hard to work out what i feel inside.
Well sat here in 'limbo' waiting for my op on Wednesday. My case is packed shopping and washing done want it to get here now so it's out the way.
Dreading waking up with a drain as I will know it has spread, cant complain about my treatmend so far it will be 23 days from me going to my gp to my op.
Want to get past Friday the 13th to find out the results so we can plan the summer, we have a holiday booked and I was planning on doing some showing and working tests with the dogs, but...
