Hi there
My mum has small cell lung cancer and was diagnosed in dec 08. They treated her with chemo and radio and managed to clear the lung of the tumour. But after stopping chemo in april another tumour appeared in her neck in june. She's now back on chemo ( a clinical trial) and they have given her months as opposed to years. I too am devastated. She's 52 and i'm 33 my youngest sister is 20. Mum doesn't want to know 'how long' I asked the doc when mum was out of the room as they kept referring to...
Well here we go the wee man is in having more chemo. He seems to be ok hope it stays that way. He has lost more weight and they are wanting to give him more build up drinks so i hope that works. He has another 5 blocks to go and then i dont know.
My dads farewell went well he would have been proud of us all. I took the kids to the chapel but not to the crematorium. I said good bye and told him i would be there for my mum. The kids made me so proud i cant believe how grown up they are. I think this...
Hi All !
I am new to this site and quite not sure how to begin !!
Diagnosed with early BC in Autumn 2008. Surgery early December 09 followed by Chemo on 22nd Jan and Radiotherapy- and now hormone therapy (Femera).
Chemo and Radio thankfully had NO adverse effects other than complete hair loss. Hair now growing fast. Why I expect you are thinking is she worrying ?
What I would really like advice on is how and when should I try and get holiday insurance.
All advice appreciated !!!

i THINK I WILL BE DRAWING MY PENSION WHEN I FIND MY WAY ROUND THIS SITE
Oh my word I thought they were never going to let me in. I was starting to get a bit paranoid that everytime I tried to put my password and user name in it came up as 'blocked'. Then common sense prevailed and panic started to subside. Its a new site and everyone has to be loaded on and its the weekend. The person doing the loading is off for the weekend, come monday morning 9.00 I will have my e-mail to say I can get in, stop worrying. 9.00 monday morning VOILA! here I am! Coincidence? don...
Friends came to see me Friday. True friends. Friends that call me to see how I am doing. Is there anything I need? When can we see you? Those kind of friends. And it was wonderful to see them again. We mostly talked about everything else but cancer which was liberating. Not talk about cancer! Imagine that! I did fill them in as to my health status because they wanted to know and we discussed my treatment plan but that was it. I almost felt cancer-less. I almost felt like I did pre-cancer. Like in...
Well i have done my first week of radiotherapy, it was absolutely fine. Amazing to think that something you cannot see or feel can do so much work. I just hope it is doing what it should do to me!
Unfortunately, i have managed to get a really bad wee infection. I took a sample with me on Fri and it appears i have too much protein, & white blood cells in my urine, so after i had my r/t treatment i got sent to the clinic and was given some antibacterial tabs to take this weekend. Not sure they...
Hi Mummy
Sorry I havnt been able to write to you for a while. I hope you will be happy to know that I have been busy.
I went to Italy, Union Lido with Andrea, Wayne, Rach, the boys, Sarah, James, Lewis, Sam, Kayleigh, Baz and Gerry. 13 people, it was a big group of us. It was a good holiday and we nearly got banned for life thanks to Baz and Lew Lew but we didnt. I was in such a state and really had a go at Baz and walked off and then Andrea and I had a big cuddle and she calmed me down and think...
