This morning was good we went to collects sister from friend then got few bits in tesco we was gonna to see someone else but head was hurting me so we went home so I can have painkillers
This afternoon we have my kids around then all stay for roast yummy. Saturday planned to visit the beach as nice weather then Sunday church so things to keep me going.
yes after about 5 weeks I can go home on Wednesday if all goes ok. Hopefully 2 scans I need before treatment will happen tomorrow or Wednesday.
Hospital been good but looking forward to having proper food. What I gathered is that they will need to get few bits maybe a carer every day but we see what happens.
i did start blog some where else so this is just copying and pasting:
so last week found out what I got. Started end of March where one of my eyes doubled they didn’t know what it was, they thought it could be Ms or can be other things. Had MRI and something showed up. But in June my other eye started double up then my leg was worble. So was in hospital for a bit but then they decided I should have a biopsy.
That’s when the results came in that I have brain tumour and where it was they can’t...
Evening all,
I am sitting in bed attempting to watch University Challenge but my brain is just too chemo brain dead to think straight so I think I will update here instead. Gutted, I used to love seeing how many questions I could get right in one programme, made me feel so clever...not feeling so clever tonight however.
Today started with us receiving the final and very legal paperwork for our Final Will and Testaments, the pack also included for me the ultimately more daunting Power of Attorney for...
I'm Not even sure what to ask my Dr. I'm worried to watchful wait without having scans an tests first.
Sorry to everyone to whom I have failed to reply or respond recently. It sounds counter-intuitive, initially, but the side effects continue to get worse after treatment stops - in my case exactly one week ago - and I just have not been able to reply to anyone about anything. The nature of the treatment especially radiotherapy, is such that it continues to roll on inside you even after the input has stopped. Think radiation sickness, Chernobyl, Fukushima .....
My neighbour, who has been through this...
Hi all,
I am nearly 52 and waiting to go for a Hysteroscopy and Endometrial Biopsy next Thursday 23rd under General Anesthetic.
I was 48 when I stopped Periods and no Bleeding for 18 month's then every now again for the last year have been having very Heavy Bleeding that would last an hour or two but becoming more frequent in that last week had one Bleed on Tuesday but then Thursday was rushed into Hospital with Haemorrhaging that didn't stop. On Friday I had the Ultrasound, Internal Probe and Chest Ex-ray...
What can I say, to see the smile on her face as she met elsa and belle and even nemo was worth every minute of pain we've had the last few months.
To see a 5 year old full of joy dispite being so so poorly, we had the very best holiday we could have asked for! We met all the princesses, had daddy dressed up in matching elsa dresses. Since we got back it's all she's talked about, sadly she has also deterioted, her eye has gotten much worse and she stumbles on basic words.
What matters...
