Really early appointment this morning so a bit of a rush. I was in getting changed when they called my name. I was in and out of the hospital within 15 minutes!!! I only have one more treatment left, on Monday. It's a shame I have to go back again after the weekend, but that's just the way it is.
I haven't seen any doctor or anyone throughout my treatment and not heard from anyone about what happens next. Talked to the nurses today and I should have had a follow up appointment through...
Hi everyone
Had my 3 week check with consultant today. He is very happy with my recovery from surgery. Says I am healing well which is good news.
He also said that my resulst from my lymph nodes have come back and they are all completely cancer free. Also they got clear margins around the tumor. So I dont need to have any further treatment which is very exciting news.
I am so happy, but at the same time feel a little lost. What now?
Guess thats a question for tommorrow after I celebrate tonight...
Hi everyone,
Never done a blog before or even belonged to an online community - but I want to give this a try.
What I should have said for my open line was - Hello....I'm pleased to me you. I've recently been diagnosed with Breat cancer (DCIS) and I feel quite alone right now.

These are words I thought I'd never hear myself saying.
Anyway - while I'm at the hospital, I really hope someone...
My son's girlfriend gave birth this morning to a healthy girl. Mother and baby are doing well. Steve would have loved this. At last I have some good news to celebrate
Ron has had his first chemo session at home. This is very comforting but surely is not at all cost effective. We picked up various medicins from the pharmacy yesterday(I think that we should be due some sort of pressie for the amount of business we have put their way) Today a "black box" was delivered, a bit like a tool box, and the nurse turned up witha further carrier bag full of bits. The actual biz took abouth 1 1/2 hours. Further nurse intervention will be ongoing for several days. ...
Getting close to the end of treatment now and that's what I'm focusing on. I'm tired and the skin is sore but I'm nearly done.
Today has been quite uneventful. Got the train, got there early. Got in for treatment, came home. fell asleep on the sofa. Went to pick the girls up from school. Then the madness began. How can they eat so much? Where do they put it all. My 5 year old can eat her weight in chocolate but try to get her to eat fruit and it's like pulling teeth!!!
I have...

My friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer late November/early December 2009. She didn't tell me until Boxing day (and she hasn't told her parents at all!) - she said she didn't want to spoil my christmas.She told me she would have to have the ovary surgically removed.(she only had the one ovary as she had the other and womb removed years earlier for other non-cancer related problems) I was devastated for my friend and offered her all the help & support she felt she needed from me. I then...
