Haven't been on for ages, have been having chemo and have my last CM F on the 24th of March and really looking forward to the end of it all, now I have had 2 core biopsy's to see if the cancer has come back or if it's just left over lymph nodes that are growing again, don't know what to think, what's the use of 6mths of chemo if the cancer can just come back, has anyone else had this?
Just had mum on the phone to tell me how dad got on today at the hospital. Consultant was very surprised and pleased to see how well he looks on sutent this time, he siad that despite what they say about not being able to go back on this drug once you've been on some of the others he's going to ignore it and keep dad on. That was the good news - why does this always seem to come with a but...............
Although the xrays showed that there has been no change in the size of the tumour, its...
Had an early appointment today so got the girls to school and met my mum at the train station and off we went. Felt sick and nervous but nowhere near as bad as the previous day. Got there early, changed, popped my card in and sat down and waited.
There were a few people there that I had seen on previous days, we all said hello and chatted about things in general. There was one old lady who was paying £70 a day in taxi fares to get there for her treatment, so we all chipped in with ideas of how she...
Clive came home today looking massively better , and is much more confident about getting around. We have oxygen at home now, so this will help with his confidence if he starts having problems again. The consultant went through his ct scan in detail and it was more encouraging than we expected. The tumor has grown more over to the left and has collapsed one chamber of the lung by closing off one of the tubes. The radio will be zoning in on this area to improve the breathing. We were also told the...

Teri contacted me in the early hours of this morning to tell me, 'with heavy heart that Bert passed away after fighting so hard for 18 months'.
Bert did indeed fight so very hard over the last 18 months and what more valiant soldier could he have had by his side? No one could have done more than Teri and I know she is so grateful for the support of all her many friends on this site. I know we will all be wishing her well at this time, whilst of course hoping that Bert is now finally at peace...
It's official. Went to the hospital today for the results of my biopsies I had done. Dr told me I have breast cancer. They found a nodule on my breast too, but that's benign. Dr told me that as the nodule was benign, they do not need to do a mastectomy, they can do a lumpetcomy (unless I wish to have a mastectomy). Asked the Dr a few questions, then went to chat with a Breast Nurse. She gave me loads of info about the disease and made me an appt to go back next week, when she will be able...
