My Mothers doctors and some nurses speak to us like we are fools and tell us lies about her treatment what the outcome maybe and how she is being cared for I have had to remind them to speak to me like an adult im 50 not 15 has anyone had this type of treatment from the hospital?
My Mother was under anaesthetic 3 for nearly 15 hours for the first week and a half post op she seemed fine but then she started saying some really strange things and she was fine before the operation. It has now been over 3 weeks and she seems to of got worse instead of better. She thinks the nurses are trying to kill her she is seeing water pouring through the ceiling she says someone is coming to slit her throat and thats just some of it. I was hoping someone could help me with some informati...
Well thats the first chemo out the way, have to say was a totally woos when I went into the room and seen these, what looked like dental chairs, broke down, thankfully had a wonderful person with me who was great. A full six hours later escaped!! Was on adrenellin for the rest of the night, had pictured projectile vomiting immediately. Didnt feel too bad the next day but just feel so tired and extreme joint and muscle pain, has anyone else had this and how long does it last!! Just taking one day...
Well, at least I managed to get throug the mri this time without a complete meltdown. Drugs certainly do help to calm the nerves, lol. And now we have the nervous wait to find out if the cancer is localised to the original spot, or has spread. Am not very good at this part. So many emotions have been bought back to the surface of the bubbling couldrin that is me, and all these new ones on top threaten to make me explode. Im so frustrated with myself, I know that we just have to stay calm and wait...
Hi I have just had a polyp removed from my anus, it came back as showing signs of invasive cancer. I had my appointment yesterday with the consultant, I was told that luckily the cancer has not travelled to any other parts of my body which I know is incredible, but and there always seems to be a but, he told me that I now had a decision to make.
In 90% of people with the same as myself the cancer is all gone when the polyp is removed but in 10% of people microscopic cancer cells have gone into the...
I have good news lately with the new that the first Sirtex treatment worked, to what extent they didn't really tell me. Second dose results are still a good 8 weeks away, so I will be probing them more. I'm hoping that most of them, like 90% will have shrunk and be responding. If not I think I am still in a fair bit of trouble.
When i first spoke to the oncologist about my scans and the tumours, I had the number 5 in my head. It seems to be my unlucky number. That would have been a result...
I'm going away for 4nights with my friend to celebrate my 40th and couldnt believe how expensive travel insurance is.
I found a lovely lady called Laura at Insure Choice who found a company called Tokio Marine Insurance who were brilliant and I got insured for a quarter of what everyone else was charging. Call 08452276335

…..junior style. Picture the scene, the Bad Fairy family trundling along in the car early on a Monday morning and the following conversation takes place. Master BF, “Where’re we going? Oh, it’s the hospital. Why? It’s sooo boring!” Me, “I have to have my weekly blood test so we won’t be here long.” Master BF, “That’s no fun. It’s so sooooo boring.” Miss BF, “ Don’t moan! It’s not fun for Mum either. She has to have...
Hi everyone, I read post regularly but am a bit shy in writing myself, however today I feel I must. It is a year today that I recieved the worst news that I had NSCLC, inoperable and terminal. I remember feeling that I would not see Christmas with my gorgeous girls 8 and 12. However one year on I have just returned from a huge family holiday in Spain and also took my hubby and girls to Cyprus in May and I feel on top of the world and my cancer is stable. I feel like doing a dance today and sticking...
