    Early August Update

    Things have been going ok for Dal since he came out of hospital, he has had some swelling on his knee which is unexplained, but an ultrasound on his entire leg proved that no blood clots were present, so we continue to monitor this. 

    We took a camping trip to Somerset, just a long weekend, it is amazing what a short trip away can do to make you feel better about life in general. 

    Treatment continues - just about to start treatment number 57!  It's hard to believe everything that we have been through...

    Secondary cancer support from the Online Community - "I have found this forum so helpful and feel the support out there so thank you all"

    Secondary cancer is one way of describing cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. We have lots of members in the Community who have been diagnosed with a secondary cancer or are supporting loved ones with a secondary cancer. Other members might feel concerned about secondary cancers throughout their cancer experience.

    The Community works as an online cancer support group and provides an opportunity for you to virtually connect with others in similar circumstances. You might like some support...

  • A trip with triple negative breast cancer
    Paclitaxel
    This week I have moved on from my four rounds of EC to 12 weeks of Paclitaxel.  Overall I found the EC relatively straight forward. I always had at least half the cycle when I felt relatively normal and only 3 days or so of feeling rough. The wo...

    Travel Tips from our Cancer Forums

    The neck pillows, the duty-free attendants waiting to spray you in the latest cologne or perfume, using your passport as a fan and the extortionate in-flight meal price. It seems like it’s that time again. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go abroad, a quiet break a few towns away is just as good to replenish and recharge. As we approach the tail-end of Summer, we take a look on the Community at how our lovely members provide their experiences to help others to try and have the best trip they...

    I'm not In My Bed
    I’M NOT IN MY BED, this isn’t home. It doesn’t sound right, there’s too much sound and too much light. There are beeps and pulses and the strange guttural muttering of people. I go to roll over to see and to shout, ‘Wher...
