Hi, I am Keith, I had a very bad cough and very little energy which was very unusual for me, I was tired all the time as well. I decided I had to go to see my GP about it all. Because i had been a smoker all of my life, he dicided I probably had a broncial infection so gave me antibiotics,and an inhaler, needless to say these did nothing to help. After taking the course of tablets I went back to the doctors and saw a different doctor who actually had the nerve to say there was nothing wrong with me...
Just want to write my experience down to help others going through same traumatic experience.
In late December 2009 went to doc with what I thoughyt was a case of laryngitis which would not go away. Doc immediately referred me to specialist. was given an nasal endoscopy at end of December and hauled in for a biopsy in early January. Ten days after biopsy was measured for mask and three days later was undergoing course of radiotherapy. I also benefitted from a lot of prayer from all my friends...

Hello to all you lovely people, got to hospital to find oncologist stuck in a far off land unable to get back to UK.
Saw registrar and the news she could tell me is it is in various spots down the spine mainly in sacrum, small spot in left breast(the one I had surgery on) and need another MRI this time for the liver.
She did say no chemo but a change in hormone medication and biophosphanates(think that's right). Nothing will change until I see consultant 17th May.
On the whole people I think...

I have not been on here for so long, but need to write my thoughts down. I shall probably waffle on, my darling husband is so ill now and I am losing him. Feel so bloody angry, helpless, sad it really seems to be sinking in now. What will we do without him, cannot not imagine my life or my childrens lives without him. Our son Charlie, such a fantastic runner, Bobbie was his coach, he is letting it all go cannot focus at all without his Dad at his side, he is 17 yrs and become Essex 200m champ with...
My dad has stomach and liver cancer....was given months in January 2010....I can do all the practical and emotional support in the world...but...after that is done....I can't rest or sleep...my mind just keeps going. How do others cope please? I work full time, have a family and am now a carer...I feel numb and cannot cry and yet I know that I will feel better if I do......nights are the worst....can't remember that last good nights sleep I had...I accept we are going to lose him, I just don...
Hello to all.

I have to tell you that I'm absolutely terrified but whatever the outcome I'm not ready to give up yet.
Still waiting for some pain relief but think I'm learning to deal with it better, but me hubby and daughter went out to dinner and I still can't sit on a dining chair without serious pain but food was lovely.
I adore the sun and have been looking forward to sitting in conservatory...
I have been reading an American site tonight that suggests some people have extended their prognosis by improving their immunity through diet and supplements? My dad was diagnosed last week and I desperate for something positive to cling to? Does anyone know if there is any other info out there on this subject of if it is unsubstantiated?
