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.
dad got cancer the first time about 7 years ago, it was just a couple of bits on his vocal cords, they scraped and then gave him radiotherapy, and then it was gone.
about 20 months ago they found he had cancer of the esophagus, his throat had been closing up very quickly and he was having trouble eating. annoyingly months before he'd asked his doctor if he could have this, but the doctor just told him no, didnt look, didnt do any tests. if the guy had just given dad a barium test, he would've seen...
Hi everyone, have not blogged for ages, but i do log in nearly everyday to read everyone elses, how awful am i! Ive been busy with my daily visits to the hospital to get my radiotherapy. Felt really horrid as i feel so very sore inside and keep getting water infections due to my uretetic stents still insitu................
I have just finished my 35 zaps of radiotherapy this week (thank goodness) and saw consultant yesterday with results of blood tests i had to have last Tuesday. It turns out that...
So often people with rare cancers join our community and feel so lost as nobody responds to their blogs, eg Parmitage.
I know that this can be hard because we know nothing about their cancer type and therefore we feel that we have no answers to give them so how about a "wee hello" for support!
Thankyou,
Big hugs to everyone

well i have been busy with the appointments as you all will be too aware of. i went for my kidney funtion test yesterday so i was backwards and forwardss to the hospital three times, so didn't get much else done really yesterday - went to bed at 8, i felt shattered. this morning got up and took the dog for her morning run around the dog field and met up with her mate dev, we were the only ones out - just goes to show who the dog lovers are - dogs need to be out and about even if it is raining....
Well today is not such a good day, the last couple of days have been good. John has been quite motivated and has managed a small amount of activity.
Got a phonecall from the hospital yeasterday to confirm the next MRI post radiotherapy is on tuesday and results friday. But as always the false sense of security gets blown away as he has another siezure this morning, i put him to bed and this is now the day, waiting, and checking frequntly until he feels better to get up.
I actually took the bull...
Well tomorrow is D-Day, when the results are in (hopefully). I am feeling strangely calm about the whole thing but that could change in the wee hours tonight lol.
Yesterday cooked up a chicken Tikka Marsala suprised myself and hubby was really impressed after getting in from a hard days graft to find the dinner already simmering away. Managed to get all the washing done and dried and even managed a little ironing. Then decided that I was on a roll so hoovered through and felt quite good when I had...
Well it is day 2 of chemo 4. Despite the fact I have domestos running through my veins ( I have a pump attached for 5FU) I feel pretty good. My side affects are nowhere as bad as No3. So hopefully this will continue and be a good one.
I hope others can feel this well during chemo. Only another 8 to go.
Lots of love Julie xx

Further to dad being discharged on Sunday he has not been right since but I thought it was good for mum and dad to spend some time again in each others company so I kind off let it slide, knowing full well it would only be days before we are back to square one. The district nurse came in this morning took one look at dad and told mum to call to get the GP out, the district nurse sat with dad the whole time she was there just cuddling him, she could see the decline in him. She was also disgusted at...
