I got results of CT scan today, thankfully the scan is clear and my consultant is happy with my progress.
I told him that I am still going to the loo 3/4 times a day rather than the 1 time a day before the cancer. He said that it is normal because the colon is normally three and a half feet long and he took about a foot off so it's only 75% of what it used to be, so it has to go somewhere.
There was an issue with my bloods, my hemoglobin level is high - 17.2
I am going back for more blood tests...
We have had to cancel our holiday to New Zealand, my mother in law has been diagnoised with multiple brain tumours. (primary)
The diagnosis in not good, weeks or a few months to live
She has become extremely confused and does not really know where she is any more. We are having quite bizarre conversations which for now add a bit of humour to the situation.
Luckily for now she is not in any pain. She can not use her left arm or left so the symptons are like a stroke. She is in hospital at the moment...
A week or so after the stent was fitted things started to settle down for my husband. he found himself able to drink the super-calorific milkshakes with relative ease and managed a bowl of soup at the same time and speed as me. it felt like happier days were on their way.
Three days later it all went belly up. The acid from the stomach now has a clear passage way to erupt into and the fast tabs hubs was on were creating mucous and making him sick. The pain he has been in has been unbearable to see...

well ive been in hospital 3 times in 2 weeks! they tried doing a colonoscopy but had to stop just short of blockage because it was too painful. my duodenal cancer has grown slightly but they have decided they wont do a bypass on this as it isnt causing me a problem so far. as they couldnt do a biopsy on my blockage theyre going to make decision on ct scans, blood markers etc. so at this point im am to have an op, it could go either of two ways,1) a bypass 2) a stoma. what do you think asked my...
does anyone know anything about this new trial for small cell lung cancer ?
Had a scan on Friday. Got results yesterday.
Went in to clinic expecting good news as I have felt so well. Came out thoroughly depressed.
Chemo (Cisplatin Etoposide) has stopped working on some of the tumours and others are appearing. Some are still shrinking. It looks like they are going to decide to stop my current chemo and they are considering an alternative chemo called Topotecan. Or, they might give me radiotherapy on some of the tumours. The one in my brain seems to worry them the most as its...
Well my pops ended up back in hospital yesterday because his stents blocked AGAIN. Hes fed up as its only been 9 days since it was last unblocked but the tumour is growing that fast it keeps covering it. He hates going in but its the best place for him even though he hates the food and being away from home.
On the plus side his brother in law has arrived even though he had problems due to the snow so i know he will be eager to get home to see him so lets hope they unblock it today and we get to...
