hi everyone,
i was diagnosed 10th may with cervical cancer,all
this coming from my first smear test 2 days b4 my 25th birthday.

colposcopy.here she found the area affected would be too painful,and too
large for her to do minor biopsies,as it was on the vaginal wall,so i

hello folks, it's been a while since my last blog and the reason why is I just haven't been able to cope with it all.
I am now feeling stronger and back to being me and not Vee with secondary cancer. I have been suffering for weeks with a really painful neck that the pain meds just didn't want to shift on the dose I was on and I ended up in A&E having x-rays, thankfully no cracked vertebrae. So where was the pain coming from and what was the cause, the onc thought it was the tumour on C2...
I received a wonderful phone call at 11-0am today from my oncologist. He rang to tell me that my PET scan was clear and that my liver did not take up any of the sugar used in the scan. So it is a cyst afterall and no other hot spots.
He is still referring my scans to a liver specialist to look at. He said that he is probably being over cautious but after the misdiagnosis originally he wanted to be absolutely sure.
He also said that the liver consultant will probably not want to see me or he may...
I've been meaning to write a blog ever since my father was diagnosed, but as often happens, things get in the way. Firstly, heres a brief introduction to whats happened so far.
My father was a fit, (fairly) heathly 80 year old. He'd kept active and trim, he only vice being the occasional whisky and travel, mostly on cruises. After the freezing cold winter of 2010, he went, with my mother, on a last minute cheapy cruise around the Canary Islands. Whilst on the ship, he didnt feel too well and...
Hi
I have always liked this song but it seems apt for many of us who have, have had or know people with cancer.
Please have a listen...maybe you can come back with a song that means something to you at a time when things have seemed unfair or songs that inspire you when you need that feeling that you are not alone.
Maybe if there are enough songs then I can put together a MacMillan "Songs of Inspiration" CD together. Maybe a way to raise some money for the cause.
Hey
Just needed to get some thoughts down. Looks like only a few short months we are back fighting this stupid disease again. Am just devastated. I cant believe this is happening just whenthings for the first time started to look ok. How on earth r you supposed to cope with this news. Knowing that you r back here again, knowing that the prognosis isnt quite so rosy (dont get me wrong I know its still early and we have loads of options) but still how do you trust those same doctors who said everything...
Hi...
7am this morning has the dressing changed. it had been a really bad weekend for dressings all the way back from thursday. tubigrip had pushed the dressing down and all the fucibet out of the wound. also there were pressure wounds and a nasty blister under one of the bigger pieces of micropore. so today we decided that less was more so the leg did not have a bulge where there would is. today was cooler too so the leg wasnt so hot and everything seemed to stay in place. so this morning was the...
