I was excited that two groups were coming together thinking i might find more people who have had the same cancer,
But i put in the search Vulva cancer and the only person who comes up is me, i know its rare but come on there has to be someone else out there??? There was a nice girl Em but since this new site has taken off i seem to have lost contact!!
I haven't been on here for a few weeks - tried for the last week or so and obviously couldn't get on. Now I find myself with a new user name 'deejay' (which I think used on 'share') and apart from Debs and Kate G - how you feeling on the Temodar Debs? How many more cycles are you having? I haven't seen any familiar faces and names. When I was at my lowest point on finding out that my son also had a tumour there were certain people who really supported me and I'm wondering if...
Loss is not just losing people. The dirty pig cancer steals so much from you. Any problems, no matter how small before cancer become magnified and so difficult to repair, if at all. Plans may be made but there is a very large chance you will not be a part of those plans. You may not feel well tomorrw. I cannot shop for as long as I used to...I have to get in and get out of the stores and go home. I cannot clean my home to my satisfaction. It goes on and on. I have to pay attention to the things I...
hello my name is alex i first was first diagnosed may 24th 2006 since i have had my treatment i have been unable to eat due to damage radiotherapy i feed myself through a gastric tube in my stomach has anyone else had this problem
Hi All Bert is on day 5 of his chemo and has all the usual side effects, nausea, diarrhoea, hasn't eaten since day 1. Now he has a fight to get his blood count back to something more like normal which I expect will take some time as he was Neutropenic before he even started the Chemo
He has an infection ?? where they don't know yet so his temp continues to spike despite all the antibiotics and fluids.
He is also very confused, we still do not have the result of his liver scan hoping
...Just an update on me. I went to have my 6th session of r/t yesterday and was told the Dr wanted to see me afterwards. Panic mode set in! Well, as uncomfortable as i could be as i am still suffering with this UTI and not getting to the loo before the Dr spotted me, i sat down with him and he opened up my folder and said he had the results of the last scan. My heart was racing - what was he gonna say?
Ok, he said he was rather puzzled and that apparently my scan was quite a good one but somehow my...
Hi everyone!
Thank you for your replies I am taking your advice and hopefully there should be some improvement in the next couple of days! Fingers crossed!!!! xxx
Dont know what was wrong with me today, well, I do, i'm missing Dad !! Taking the kids to school in the car....started crying. Got to work.....started crying, and so it carried on like that for a lot of the day. I keep talking to Dad out loud and kind of hear him answering. Oh my god im going mad now, hearing voices. I do like to think that Dad is talking to me. I feel him near at times, but its funny, mum went on holiday on saturday with her cousin, the holiday she was supposed to be going on with...
Hubby went into our local hospice last week, for symptom control and respite. I was keen for him to be seen in the hope that he would get a more holistic approach to his care. However, I am now torn between spending time with him in there and trying to take advantage of the fact I can now leave the house.
Things seem to have taken a sharp turn for the worst over the last 3 weeks and each day brings its own new challenges. He started taking oxygen today and was also given some antibiotics to tackle...
Mum has been on a trial since june. The first scan showed the tumor in her neck hadn't grown and may have reduced slightly. 6 weeks on and the scan has shown that 2 other tumors have appeared and now they have taken her off the clinical trial and she is due to start standard chemo tomorrow. I think this is the last thing that they can try for her. She is due to be scanned again in 6 weeks and if the chemo hasn't done anything then i don't know if i can bear it. She's been talking to me about arrangements...
