I remember when i fell pregnant, it couldnt have been better timing. Me and my husband had been trying for nearly 3 years, and finally it had happened. My pregnancy was really easy i had no problems what so ever. When i went into labour my beutiful little girl was here within 3 hours she was a healthy 6lbs3. Carlie she was perfect in every way.
The first 2 years of her life just flew in, she was perfect in every way. Then she started getting very unwell, docs said at beginning it was a viral infection...

hi everyone,
i was diagnosed 10th may with cervical cancer,all
this coming from my first smear test 2 days b4 my 25th birthday.

large for her to do minor biopsies,as it was on the vaginal wall,so i

hello folks, it's been a while since my last blog and the reason why is I just haven't been able to cope with it all.
I am now feeling stronger and back to being me and not Vee with secondary cancer. I have been suffering for weeks with a really painful neck that the pain meds just didn't want to shift on the dose I was on and I ended up in A&E having x-rays, thankfully no cracked vertebrae. So where was the pain coming from and what was the cause, the onc thought it was the tumour on C2...
I received a wonderful phone call at 11-0am today from my oncologist. He rang to tell me that my PET scan was clear and that my liver did not take up any of the sugar used in the scan. So it is a cyst afterall and no other hot spots.
He is still referring my scans to a liver specialist to look at. He said that he is probably being over cautious but after the misdiagnosis originally he wanted to be absolutely sure.
He also said that the liver consultant will probably not want to see me or he may...
I've been meaning to write a blog ever since my father was diagnosed, but as often happens, things get in the way. Firstly, heres a brief introduction to whats happened so far.
My father was a fit, (fairly) heathly 80 year old. He'd kept active and trim, he only vice being the occasional whisky and travel, mostly on cruises. After the freezing cold winter of 2010, he went, with my mother, on a last minute cheapy cruise around the Canary Islands. Whilst on the ship, he didnt feel too well and...
Hi
I have always liked this song but it seems apt for many of us who have, have had or know people with cancer.
Please have a listen...maybe you can come back with a song that means something to you at a time when things have seemed unfair or songs that inspire you when you need that feeling that you are not alone.
Maybe if there are enough songs then I can put together a MacMillan "Songs of Inspiration" CD together. Maybe a way to raise some money for the cause.
