When I was first diagnosed I was in a kind of shock. I am most grateful to the people who talked to me at that time (November / December 2010). things looked extremely grim at that time.
Since then I have (fingers crossed) made pretty much a full recovery
I had radical prostate op at Queen Alexandra Portsmouth in Mar 11. Margins were clear although it was a close run thing as the cancer had reached surface of prostate in one place. I then had a 6 week course of radiotherapy from May to July 2011...
I'm pretty much in a good place in my head regarding my cancer and where I am up to on that so called journey. Then my Onc. appointment appears on the calendar for February and the little doubts and niggles start in my head grrrrrr.
When I was diagnosed I asked straight for a statistic for survival, 60%. I'd rather it been a bit more but at least it was the upper side of 50 eh, so not complaining.
Mr tumour was a T3N2M0 and again i'd rather it been below the 3 and not too happy with the...
Need a self indulgent moan today – this is more to get it out of me than have replies / kick the cat / moan at hubbie by the way. Well Mum will get her results in a week’s time and I having a wobble. Think it has been kicked off by chatting to another mum at school who’s a nurse (fatal talking to someone with medical knowledge at times).

Hello - I am new to this. I need a "safe" place to put some structure and sense to my feelings and thoughts and I ended up here. My Mum was diagnosed with small lymphocytic lymphoma in August 2009. They (as in the medical folks she saw) had thought it was a bad cold, overactive glands, pneumonia and finally Swine Flu (that was whilst in France) and then it was finally diagnosed as cancer. It did not come as a total surprise as there was some nagging thought at the back of my head and I took some...
Hi All,
Just to let you know the lates - our christmas cruise was not quite as good as I had expected, and I ended up confined to the cabin for 72 hours with a tummy bug! I did manage Christmas day and New Year's Eve, but the bit in the middle disappeared. We got home and within 6 hours my husband got the bug as well, but worse than I was. Spent the next 2 nights in the spare room so I didn't catch it again.
I dutifully had my Ct scan 3 weeks ago, and arrived at the hospital today to find...
