Blogging can be a great way to journal your experiences and share with others. Why not create your own cancer journey blog, or have a read of other blogs created by our members?
Unsure how to get started? Take a look at our help pages on blogs.
Start of the journey, mum had cystoscopy last week, which showed cancer. CT scan on 1 March to see if its invasive. Everything on hold until we know more. Praying she is ok.
Well here i go, the first session to kill off my Hodgkin's Lymphoma hooray!
It is doing such funny things to me that I cannot wait to get started.
I have a new party trick. turn to the left hiccups, turn to the right hiccups move back to the centre and guess what, they stop straight away. spooky........
I will be back with an update later x
Dear all,
I don't often write blogs as I still can't quite get this new site the old one was much easier for me but still. The reason for me writting this blog is that after 6weeks radiotherapy, 2 lots of brain surgery and 10 mothes chemo my husbands scans are clear of all cancer!!!.
We were told that Tom had only 6monthe's to a year left to live because he has the worst type of tumour which is a Gliobastoma grade 4 so to have this news on thursday was incredible for us all this could...
Hi Sarah32
Sorry if this is the wrong way to contact you. I don't really understand the difference between blogs, forums, etc. I just wanted to say thanks for responding to my request. Took some paracetamol last night and thankfully pain has gone. Asked nurse and she just said expect various aches and pains! Finding whole chemo thing very difficult. Waiting for every symptom. Not very helpful to myself is it?
Anyway thanks again. Was very reassuring to hear you had experienced same.
Before I write anything else, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart foe all your support not just in the past week but the past 18 months I needed your strenght to give me mine.
Bert's funeral will take place on Friday 5th March at 12. I make no apologies for the choice of music as he chose it himself. His First song will be
ACDC Highway to Hell
Wipeout (recorded by his son)
A beautiful song called Keep me in you Heart for a while. ( Warrenn Zevon)

This time last year I was just preparing for my second op - it was needed to acheive a wide margin and to hopefully close the gap in my wound which had been leaking serous fluid since my first op a month before. I was also trying to get my head around the need for chemo and radio as follow in treatments. I really had no idea what the journey ahead would be like. There were lots of silent tears in bed at night and in the morning....
But here I am.... almost 14 months after diagnosis and whilst I'm still...
On Friday i went off to London for my 'end of treatment' scan results. My daughter who was visiting from Suffolk came along too. We went on the train and got to the Hospital about 15mins before my appointment time. Felt ok but a little apprehensive wondering what i might be told. I was called in after about 25mins. My Specialist spoke about my kidneys to start with as on Monday i had a small op to replace the two ureteric stents i have in place due to my renal failure last year. It appears that my...

It's been a while since I last blogged. I never really got used to the new site once it merged. It was just too big and stressed out for me to cope with. But I thought I should tell you all that Ian died yesterday very peacefully in the hospice. It was so difficult for him towards the end. I was so glad he made it to the hospice because it gave me the chance to spend the last night with him in peace and quiet and with somebody else taking responsibility. I value that opportunity.
