got results from mri today, told cancer hasnt spread and told more about my op on 25th. Feel good that it hasnt spread but bit scared of how close my op is.Cant remember half what specialist told me, had mixed emotions. Going to keep busy now and not think about it. No more hospital till next week so I am going to put a blank mind to my bladder and think about positive things.
The Leicester Royal has restricted visiting hours to try and control flu viruses. 2-3pm and 7-8pm. To get parked you have to arrive an hour early for the afternoon visit and then hang around waiting areas until the evening session. We live 40 minits from the hospital so it doesn't make sense to go home.
The old visiting times used to be 11am to 8pm and you were guaranteed to be there when the Onc visits or any other Healthcare professional stops by her bed.
Today, while I was waiting to visit...
I am new at this so bear with me, I had my operation for the removal of a tumor in the ureter some 14years ago however it has continued to come back in the bladder, these have happened some four times and been removed by laser. I was told by my surgeon that this is a very rare , ureter cancer that is, does anyone else out there have any experience of this look forward to hearing from you .jo
Well, no one can say that my mum isn't a fighter, she's still here, still very weak and not getting better but she's beaten the time that the consultant had said.
Mum is being stubborn and doesn't really like having the nurses around her which can be frustrating but i'm just going to let her get one with it. Mean while i'm up and down from the hospital and trying to keep myself busy, just finished doing the house work, i'm knackered now lol
will blog again soon

This is my first blog to chart my feelings and treatments for my lovely wife Julie.
I don't write for sympathy or through anger, and I don't solicit response.
I write to just speak out loud to anonymous people who may or not know what julie and I are going through.
There are some things I need to say that those closest to us would be unable to understand so I will use this Blog to share my thoughts.
My Biography tells the full story over the last 6 years.
... but then no-one ever claimed it would be.
A week into my first cycle of chemo and this is the story so far:
Last Tuesday the clinic was running 90 mins late so it was some time before I was set up with the cannula to receive my dose of Oxaliplatin. My veins did not want to play ball so it was a case of third time lucky before this happened successfully. I had a heat pack which makes it less painful, but this cooled down over the afternoon (the actual chemo delivery takes a couple of hours or...
I think this best describes how i am feeling now.
I didnt sleep much last night thinking about how today would go and what it would feel like to go to the hospital for his last session.
It has become so familiar to us now, drop the children off at mum's, battle to find a parking space in the stupidly small car park then wander up to the Chemo day unit where as always we are sent to the day ward and Rich picks a bed where we then wait to be seen.
As usual his assigned nurse Tracy distracted us...
Okay so I'm new to this site and this is my first ever blog(yeeha).I went on the chat a few nights ago and have to say it's addictive...so if writing a blog has the same effect I could be here boring anyone who hapens to stumble across this lol.
I've not done anything spectacular since my trearment finished but I have fitted in a lot of looking at the world(well my world) and relationships I have with family and friends. I'm trying to understand what has been going on for the last two and...
Hi,
