6/2/11 - Three Radio cycles finished, Two to go.
Today there are definate signs of improvement. Julie managed to walk the 20 yards to the bathroom with her sticks and I helped her shower, dress and walk back to her bed. Neither of us expected the Radio to take effect so soon, or is the combination of Nozinan and Steroids supressing the sympoms that are allowing her to walk ?
The ward staff are turning a blind eye to me arriving early for visiting and we have arranged an out patient visit for Tusday...
We found out in September that Pat's cancer had spread into his lymph system, 2 scans later we were told it's in his liver and lung, 3 scans later we are still waiting to find out details of any treatment! It's such a slow process. Now he's scheduled for a liver biopsy on Wednesday to give the oncologist more info about the extent of the cancer before he decides on a treatment. In the meantime he's had weeks of bad left shoulder pain which we have been told may be referred pain....
I was diagnosed with renal cancer 3 years ago, fortunately I had surgery and was given the all clear. I've been trialing a drug ever since called sorafenib and touch wood I've done ok . I had a scan at the end of last year and was told in January that the scan looked ok........BUT..........they were a bit concerned about my retro-crural node (haven't a clue but alledgely its in my chest) has grown by 0.5cm since my last scan.

Hi Everyone, all too numerous to mention, but will get around to speaking to you soon. I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to come on here.
As with anyone who has lost someone so very dear to them, whether it be a child, partner, parent, sibbling or friend....time is essential in order for us to start getting a grip on life again. There is so much to sort out, whether it be bills, banks, employment, pensions, clothes.....the list is endless. My journey since Peter died in March is no different...
Hi - the last 2 weeks have been just horrible. My dad has always suffered from sinus problems all his life, just allergies and infections etc. But around last October a lump appeared on his cheek, which the doc said was prob a blocked sinus. Gave dad beconase. But the lump grew, and started affecting his nose shape and eye socket and he couldnt breathe up his nose. I was pestering him relentlessly as I always have, to go to the Doc and get it checked. He eventually got referred, had a CT scan and...
How sad is this?
Whilst away from chat for a short while the above person went it and was very abusive, will not repeat what i was told. Regardless as to how ill a person is it does not give them the right to use such fowl language. We are there to help people, if this person requires help we are all there for her, but dont tell folk they are all going to die etc.. i am being kind with my wording and do not wish to offend, but hearing what was said had to blog. If you only wish to use chat to be...
