My six weeks will be finished on 22/03/10.
No, it doesn't hurt at all, can't feel any heat or anything strange.
If you have transport arranged by the hospital you may be waiting around, a lot, but it's a chance to get to know other patients 0: )x
Be prepared to feel very tired.
I have noticed that my chest is beginning to look a bit red and is slightly sore to the touch. Not badly and not enough to mention to any nurses etc, but I can see and feel a difference. Also I can't breath in deeply. hurts to sneeze, so maybe something is burning my lungs. Nothing major. Nothing to complain about, just wanted to note it for future reference really. When The girls came with me last week, Charlotte wore her pedometer and worked out, between the 2 trains we walked 2 miles each...
Late appointment today (16:00) so had to arrange for the girls to go to Grandmas for tea. So what do I do with my day then?? Long hot bath, with a cuppa and my book. Not allowed bubble bath etc but it was nice to just veg instead of rushing around.
So got train at 2ish and got to the hospital in time. The room I normally get treated in is being serviced so I'm in a different room with different staff. We were all talking in the waiting room about side affects. We all said it's not as bad as we...
10th March 2010.
February went by almost unnoticed and I have been really busy working with my son to try and get him through his last term at college. I've really enjoyed learning again, so much so that I've taken the bull by the horns and contacted Bridgwater college in the hope of securing a City and Guilds Dipolma course starting September 2010 for Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, with an extention of Complimentry therapy. Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew. Waiting for...

I really want to do some fundraising but I'm kind of stuck as to what to do.
I was thinking of dog walking, £1 per dog maybe?
It would be in the Stafford area, I've looked on forums but I can't see a lot on there in the way of guidance.
A little bit of advice please :)
Hi all, I am finally feeling a bit more like my old self and am trying very hard to make some progress with my dissertation. Some of you will already know that I am trying to find a way to make Ports more easilly available on the NHS after having such a difficult time trying to get my own and knowing what an enormous difference having one has made to my life.
Please read the rest of this post to see if there is any way that sharing your experiences might be able to help me achieve that goal. -...
Hi
I am not techno minded and am having a lot of trouble getting round this site. I am 64 years old and am on the computer for 4 hours work a day but still find this a bit of a maze of confusion.
Just wondered if I could find anyone to chat with who is bereaved like me. Lost my beloved husband September 27th 2009 and now my dog has passed on aged 14.
Mike was a wonderful man, just 65 years old and it all started with a malignant melanoma which spread like lightening, after 9 months he died peacefully...
doctor Le Duc was pretty upbeat today. He reckons that the chemo has shrunk the tumours. A pity that there was a scan missing between the two he was comparing! Ron will still have to continue with chemo but LeDuc has changed one of the drugs as Cisplatin can damage the kidney function. He was taking alimta and cisplatin. Better news is that for the new chemo he will not have to go to hospital and stay in for 24 hours but the nurse can come and administrate it here at home. It will take about 2 hours...
