Blogging can be a great way to journal your experiences and share with others. Why not create your own cancer journey blog, or have a read of other blogs created by our members?
Unsure how to get started? Take a look at our help pages on blogs.
Firstly, thanks to those for the lovely comments on my last blog :)
Now for the results...........
The tumours in my chest and neck have 'only' grown slightly.
The one under my arm has grown a little more, and it now 2.5cm.
I've been waiting for test results to check for a 'cell marker' called CD25.
I've found out today that I have this cell, which means I have been
accepted onto a trial at The Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead - which
is along way from us!
I will...
I have lost many people in my life to this disease, and I have an uncle and a father-in-law currently battling. I wanted to mention a book that I think offers a lot of hope and very compelling information to those of us affected by cancer. It's actually a short novel I bought online (e-book pdf cost six dollars) and it's called Cave Dan. It is about an American who is out of shape and he has a tumor. Of course it's a serious subject, but the book is actually a really funny satire. The quirky...
Well on top of everything else I have broken my foot and am now in plaster for the next 3 months.
The Dr in casualty said my bones were probably affected by the steroids I am taking for sickness.
All I did was to come downstairs and on the flat my foot suddenly went CRACK!
A freak accident!
Just when I was getting used to my treatments knowing what to expect.( No 6 next week, ) I hope my break won't affect the timing.
Oh well these things are sent to try us! Love to All Julie xx
Hi, as cant sleep for painful infected toe,thought I join site.Also waiting 1 hour after taking Antibiotic tablet before can eat.Should have eaten earlier but lost track of time on computer. Need to change the dressing aswell. Is it coincidence or what, but since cancer treatment cuts/grazes dont heal as quick & often become infected. Immune system must be depleted?
Work been very hard lately & has given me lymphodema symptoms back.
There is more to all this than surgery & immediate treatments...
I'm sorry to all the innocent people out there that I give angry looks to when they are smiling or chatting to their friends, laughing. I don't need that - you don't, and will never understand me. You don't know how much it makes my blood boil that you will have a normal Christmas, you will not know what it feels like to have the one fear in your life come true - and have to live through it.
My mom has gone, I will never see her again, never celebrate Christmas with her again.Never...
Bert has not been good for the past week with bone pain and extreme fatigue, he is asleep for almost 20 hours a day. His feet and ankles are very swollen and he will have to go into hospital tomorrow wearing his summer sandals as it is the only thing we can get on his feet.
He is scared of what has to come from tomorrow on, Chemo will start I assume tomorrow or Tuesday and Transplant day will be the 16th Dec
l will start another Blog from tomorrow as it will be different treatment but most likely...
Not really much to catch up on but my Mum's just asked me what I've been doing for the last two days and I couldn't remember. So this is a test :)
I've had a cold for a week - nothing serious, no temperature, sore throat or aches just a runny nose and a bit of sneezing. Anyway started coughing a bit and occasionally coughing up phlegm - nothing major but I'd been told to ring in (hospital) if this happened. So, like a good girl, did what I was told and they rang my GP to arrange...
