We have both had a good day today.
I managed to clean half the house. Then I went to the hospital and Sal and I watched the snooker together all afternoon. The first time we have done anything together since she went in.
The even better news is that she is now no longer being barrier nursed. So no more gloves and plastic pinny. Notonly that but they took a blood sample this afternoon. Sal was dreading it. The nurse was just super... no pain at all and got it first time. Hopefully that will be...
I am so sad today. 10 months on today. How can I have lived thro the last 10 months? It all seems so unreal. What is happening? I miss you so much. Almost everything that I have heard or seen today, has reminded me of you. It is hurting so much today. i will be glad to get back to work tomorrow and fill my mind with rubbish so that I wont have to think so much,,,,,,I love you, honey. Our future has been taken away from us. What am I going to do?
Will see you again one day. Lots of love always .....
I was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour on my larynx last june (2009). I was booked in to have 20 sessions of radiotherapy in Cheltenham.
I searched the net for vocal chord cancer and found a Dr Zeitels in Boston, Mass, who used a KTP potassium laser to remove tumours from this area.
I went to Boston, was examined, the next day operated on. Two hour operation removed the tumour. No after pain, slight soreness for around a week.
Voice OK. His clinic only deals with voice problems.
The only drawback...
Hi
Have now had three FEC 100 and due in three weeks to start three cycles of docetaxel. Has anyone had this chemo and what type of side effects did you have? I know everyone is different and I've been quite well with the FEC about two days feeling rubbish followed by 2 weeks of feeling well. Just a bit anxious now about this next lot of chemo, as its the unknown that worries me.
Any advice would be most welcome, thank you xx

Sal should be ready to come out of hospital soon so in preparation I am spending today deep cleaning the house. Every surface and everything on every surface will be vacuumed and wiped down with antiseptic wipes. Floor vacuumed, door handles antiseptic wiped.
A great excuse to give the house a spring clean anyway so well worth doing!
In Sal's words this morning "I feel great!". Plan today is for Sal to try to stay out of bed a little and to try to eat more normal meals all in preparation of her...
Hi Everyone,
I decided to start writing a blog of my experiences after taking great comfort from the words of others on the website. To all of those who have taken the time to detail their highs and lows, thank you.
My story is that of 'never smoked, hardly drink, happy 40th birthday, surprise! you've got cancer'.
My particular ailment is a squamous cell carcinoma of the right tonsil.
Over the next few days I will blog my escapades that have got me to the start of my radiotherapy...
