I went up to the hospital on Wednesday to be checked over as I'd had a scare with my glands up in my throat and a tightness in my breathing, this was diagnosed as probably being an infection which I was fighting off. While I was there the doctor had my CT scan results from Monday, I was fairly confident that they would be good but was thrilled to hear that my lungs now appear clear apart from some scarring, (the last scan showed spots of secondary cancer). My secondary cancer in my bones is improving...
Our fantastic mum passed away on Thursday 30th Sep it was a hard 6 month fight but mum and all of the family fought it bravely , We are all so proud of mum for how she dealt with everything that this cruel decease threw at her .
We are sorry to people who had replied or commented on our post's but we really didnt have time what with being mum's main carers and constantly looking for advice and information on Glioblastoma multiforme grade 4 .
We were always on The Brain Hospice site checking...
G is still poorly, even though the operation was a sucess, and he is home again. His breathing is as bad as ever, he seems to be losing the will to fight anymore. Yesterday, our 43rd wedding anniversary, he told me he thinks this may be the end. I seem to be in some sort of trance, its as though its all happpening to someone else.
Hi all,
I just joined the site and decided to put all my thoughts into words, hoping to feel better and be able to sleep a bit better tonight.
In May this year, I found out that my dad has lung cancer. Only a few weeks ago the doctor confirmed that there's no option for surgery and he'll start a therapy to slow down the cancer (after he'll complete this chemio cycle). The news made my world fall into pieces... When I heard the first diagnosis in May (when there was still the possibility of surgery...
Thank you everyone for your love & support. Pablo passed away at 8.30 this morning, The end was very peaceful and he did not suffer. I am greatly relieved that his battle is over. This time last year he lay in intensive care for five weeks; his body never fully recovered. The hospital has been truly marvellous. It became our second home - 14 times he was admitted in his 19 month fight - and today I had visits from cleaners, porters, nurses & doctors who had all got to know us & admired Pablo's spirit...
Exactly what it says in the title!! Well I will start the right way around otherwise people will assume one led to the other but thats not the case. For about a week now I have been experiencing on/off chest pain, tiredness, breathlessness and a pounding heartbeat which I am very aware of even with the slight exertion. I have woken up a couple of times in the night and it has been beating so fast that I thought it was going to come out of my chest. I do have a heart abnormality called Wolf Parkinson...
Well the day came and went. I finished chemo on monday. Its hard to believe it is over. Radio next in november I hope. I hope to be done and dusted by christmas. Feeling pretty tired and zonked at the moment but I know it'll pass.
I met the plastic surgeon last week to discuss reconstruction and that was a bit of a shocker. Its a pretty big operation. He wants to take my tummy and put in on my chest-the good thing is, it results in a flatter tummy too! I worry I am putting myself through a reconstruction...
Thanks to all of you who replied -- it is comforting to know that my feelings are shared . Should we label ourselves as carers or as I once introduced myself when attending a support group--I am the other half living with someone who is living with cancer-- perhaps then the health professionals will see us in a different light
Went to see my Oncologist today and was told my CA125 Cancer Marker has come down. thats 6 months after chemo!!!! Amazing. I was expecting to be having a CTscan.
For a Cancer Patient the CA125 needs to be below 35
My CA125 is offically now 40 so hence my "Nearly Normal"
So l am as high as a kite,
Rosie
