Well. I hardly come on this site now, I don't really know why, I just tried to keep busy busy busy and not have to face the awful reality. They say don't do anything major in the first year, well, I have sold the cars, sold the house and got two new cats and a new dog and been on two holidays. In the first seven months. I don'regret any ofthe above but they ultimately have not helped. since the six month mark,I have been getting progressively more weepy and sad. A few months ago I was starting to...
Hello all,
Today is not a good day. So I blog. I should be writing an essay but I feel the need to offload. So I blog.
Grab your tissues, it's likely to be hard going.
Yesterday I went to a cancer fundraiser, I had a nice time. I came home and things were not right. Mr H was angry and we rowed. I got equally annoyed and we didn't talk for the rest of the evening.
I am currently waiting for an MRI which has been put back to November. This is to confirm any spread. In the interim my pain levels...
I started my new regime (Folfox and cetaximab) last Friday. I thought I’d leave it a week to settle down and see how it goes.
Firstly though I do have to mention my PICC line. The fantastic staff at Northampton General went through everything they were doing to me and more importantly why they were doing it. I had had 5 sessions of Oxylaplatin through a cannula and each time I had quite severe pain both during the infusion and for up to 2 weeks after. The PICC line means no more cannulas and...

No, I've not had a late relapse and about pass on to the other side or planning on killing myself in response to the UK deciding to leave the EU - that would be an amazing way of generating more page views though - at least I'd still be able to get to Dignitas in Switzerland ok, I can't imagine the EU ever passing a bill allowing Euthanasia.
The truth is I just don't have the time to continue with the blog now that Wimbledon is about to start, the Euros have entered the interesting...
I am sporting the shortest haircut of my life. My hair continues to drift out, but today a friend complimented me on my new style and it turned out she genuinely liked it and was not simply being encouraging. The plus side is that, as an older woman, I usually have to spend some time checking my chin and upper lip for hairs, but those seem to have gone first. It's the little things that make a difference! I have my scarves and hats ready. My wig is trimmed and good to go, and suddenly I am aware...
Hi everybody
I have bone cancer which has caused my spine to crumble in a couple of places. In one I have spinal stenosis which is causing a lot of nerve pain which is driving me mad. I am booked in for an operation next week, on 19th. Is there anyone out there who has been through this and can offer me any tips or reassurance on the outcome.

THE SUSPICIOUS CONSULTANT
I love Gerona Airport. It is small and perfectly formed with decent eating options, direct flights from Glasgow, and even if the last shuttle bus into the city centre sneaked away twenty minutes before the aforementioned flight from Glasgow landed, I am sure this was simply to keep the evening taxis in business.
We'd booked a Gerona hotel for one night and it was great too. A beautiful cool room overlooking a bustling square full of families...
Am hoping after reading all the posts that I shall switch from generic letrozole to Femera to see if it makes a difference. For past 9 months the joint/ muscle pains along with tingling, numbness in fingers and hot flushes have not decreased . If Ibuprofen is taken for 2-3 days this does help but is not a long term solution. Taking magnesium , vitamin d and have tried other products as read about but no noticable change. It is such a help to see that other people have done the research into...
