Hi I wonder if any one has had/ having the same experience as I find myself in. I was diagnosed with neck cancer in early April and had a biopsy to confirm it on 6/5/11 plus CRT and Ultra sound scans. The Consultant told me I would be starting my chemo on 2/6/11and we were all prepared for it but 2 days before asked me to come in. He then told me that they could not identify the type of cancer, all they knew for certain was it was Hodgkins lymphona.They arranged for a PET scan on 2/6/11 and I saw him...
Had a busy day yesterday being Fathers Day and got to see most of our kids and grandchildren which is always great as the little ones are so funny and even when your at your worst they brighten your mood.
Dave doesn't tell me when he is in pain or feeling under the weather but normaly I can see for myself. By 5pm he asked if he had time for a little nap before dinner, nothing unusual there. He didn't notice me watching him and thats when I saw that he was having trouble swallowing and in pain on...
So a few days ago my mum told me about her breast cancer. Now I know my mum and she's not one to show her feelings or that she's scared. But she has a radiotherpy planning appoitnment on the 28th and she said to me you should come it will be inetersting for you. Now this in mum's language is I'm scared I need you. I desperately want to be there for her, but unfortunately in my world it's never simple. On that day I'm meant to be going to southampton to look at rooms for our new house (to decide which...

Along with about 2,000 other gals me and my wonderful daughters and friends did the race today. It was the most moving thing ever, just to see so many people there who have either lost someone to this god awful disease or have someone going through it, or are racing because they have cancer!
We had a wonderful day, we dressed as pink pussy cats including tails!, My daughters were the honey bunnys................... I felt very emotional and walked the 5k with a big lump in my throat, especailly...
I’ve cried a hundred thousand tears
My wish, to go back through the years
I miss you, I'm lost
I hate this truth
I am changed, it’s different
my life without you
I know I must try to move on from the pain
to stop re-living what’s happened again and again
You deserve more than that for the part that you played
The funny, lovely, caring Dad
That so many memories made
There will come a time, although it may be a while
When i can talk about you
Share stories, remember and smile
It’s just that...
Good sleep till woken for obs then dozed till about 5, went & had bath & shave etc then stretched out on bed & guess what! Yep fell asleep again. Managed a couple of slices of toast for breakfast, vegetable balti for lunch and mediteranean pasta for lunch, couple of little threats of the dreaded heartburn but nothing materialised, Still avoiding the hot drinks for the time being.
Now on 3rd infusion so only one left to go, should be starting in the early hours tomorrow so can hopefully...
I can't believe its nearly a month since my last post.
The last few weeks have been very up and down. julie had another dose of Radio to the Spine yesterday to try and relieve new pains. She is now on a lot more Diamorphine to supress the pain she has.
We have had Two failed attempts to get off the Syringe Driver. Both occasions resulted in Julie having severe withdrawl symptoms. It appears that she is not absorbing oral medication so will have to stay on a Driver for the foreseable future...
I've just completed my first full week of work after my dad's diagnosis and feeling really shattered. I'm so lost as to what I should be feeling right now. I want to be with my dad all of the time but know that this just isn't possible as I need to keep a cetain degree of "normality" in my life.
I can't believe how quickly things can change. This time last year we were celebrating my dad getting the all clear after he had his bladder removed. He was so amazing after...
