Hi everyone. Thought i would write a little update on me. Since Eastertime i have been feeling less well each day. I have been having my regular checks and full body scans but asked for an earlier scan than my next one due in August. It turns out that my pelvic sarcoma has returned and is huge :-( It is pressing on my main nerve that runs down my left leg which is giving me such pain. I have medication for this but it soon wears off, i have even developed a limp. Im trying not to let anything stop...
Hi all,
I have seen my consultant today to get the results of my CT scan and the news is not so good. The Caelyx is not working and so the remaining cycles have been cancelled. I now have three options to consider before returning to see him on 28th June.
Firstly, he would be happy for me to have a break from chemo for a few months, especially as I feel good and my energy levels are fine. I would be regularly monitored with blood tests and scans throughout. Option 2 is to test my original cancer...
i am about to start chemotherapy next week for a disease that could lead into leukaemia has anyone been through similar and could share their experience?
Sitting here on a rare! sunny day in scotland feeling so sorry for myself. Feeling awful, no energy, bones and muscles ache and feel like yuk. Just got one of six chemo out of the way and it seems such a long road. Know its a lot worse for other people, just feel so helpless. My situation is complicated by the fact I have a disabled son who is in the family home being looked after and I am in a flat with with my friend being looked after, I just want to be home looking after my son, to hear him moan...
Well I don't do many blogs to be honest, but I do read through this site regularly.
I've not been on this site a full year yet, but I certainly have learnt a lot and met some lovely people. I'm older , wiser (still learning) and a damn site greyer (anybody know a good hair dye that actually covers up grey ?) A friend of ours from my scuba-diving days has just recently been told his treatment is to be stopped (what little he has had) and he will be sent home with painkillers. This friend is...

Hi Guys
I am now home after having my double mastectomy last Wednesday. I can honestly say (especially for those out there facing the same thing) it was not as bad as I imagined. Op on Wednesday home by Friday evening after drains were taken out (not painful at all, but just a weird sensation) and am finding that I do get tired after a few hours, so a good excuse for a lie-down! My chest is not painful at all, just a little sore, although I can only sleep on my back! Seem to have a little fluid...
Had chemo number 5 friday, which went as well as it can, TAX makes me feel really tired while being administered for some strange reason. Have had a good weekend, apart from bloody England and that goal!!!! what a wally Green is.
Looking forward to the week ahead each day brings less pain and the weather looking good for London so will be pottering around in my garden.
My son has his last two GCSE's this week, happy days no more stress for him!!!
Gentle hugs, to all
