Last week was my three year 'check up from the neck up' and relieved to say am still in remission and making good progress now from the throat cancer and RT that took away a year of my life in 2014... Sure the nerve damage and feeling to the neck, shoulder and back will never get any better now but I am back playing squash to a reasonable level and am learning to fight judo left handed!...Still wish for a solid 8 hours sleep without waking up with a dry mouth, and would love to eat something...
Sunday 18th December.
Today has been a day of passing time until tomorrow, much like yesterday. I will have the blood test tomorrow morning and then have to wait until possibly the evening to find out the result. It all seems so cruel the waiting. It's exhausting. But what will be will be and there's nothing I can do about my white cell count. If I hear nothing by the evening then all is good, so I will not be wanting any phone calls tomorrow from late afternoon onwards...more stress. ...
Hi all
Can anyone advise I'm on weekly paclitaxel and have had 2 sessions. Yesterday I woke up with a rash on my face and chest. It is very itchy and red can anyone suggest anything that I can put on it. I'm seeing the oncologist tomorrow so I'm hoping they can suggest something. I think it is like an allergic reaction not sure.

So I find myself here following a diagnosis ofobular breast cancer. Apparently I'm lucky, because lobular breast cancer is almost impossible to diagnose untill it has spread.
I found myself at the Brest clinic following months of visiting my GP feeling like I had the flue, and fringe tiered. I was o. And off antibiotics for two years. Told I had a virus. My bloods showed slight I famation but nothing to worry about. Untill I noticed my left nipple was looking a bit squished. At first I thought...
I'm now one month in and, if the general consensus is to be believed, the fatigue and nausea should soon start to lift. I'm searching for the light at the end of the tunnel because after a month of feeling ill everyday I am beginning to tire of this.
I saw the docs last week - a very nice registrar who said he'd not seen anyone on Rucaparib hammered with fatigue quite so hard. If the onset had not coincided so exactly with starting Rucaparib, he said, they'd need to investigate whether...

I didn't do my blog yesterday because I didn't do anything to write about. I just sat and knitted most of the day, and tried hard to be lazy because I want those white cells to start reproducing! I felt very fed up though for most of the day. The disappointment of the postponed chemo was upsetting. The lovely neighbours called around to cut the wig they'd given me in the evening and I'd made some more mince pies as a thank you for them to take home. That was it, my Friday...
Hi ladies. Came home from hospital this afternoon. I had my hysterectomy on Tuesday morning. As a precaution I was transferred to ITU for the night and then back to ward. I could not believe how little pain I was in and just had paracetamol. Had more discomfort after visit to dentists! Now have to wait for results which might be here next week. Had visit from my Macmillan nurse too. She has been wonderful and so supportive. I just hope that it's good news, but taking each day as it comes. To any...
Well, here I am. Sitting in my kitchen with a cup of tea. It’s cold, grey and misty outside which is a strangely comforting reflection of my mood. I’m peering through the haze, trying to make sense of the vaguely deformed shapes looming out there. Like trying to make sense of the shadowy grey thoughts flitting through my mind.
I’ve decided I’m going to get some of the noise in my head down on paper. There is so much of it that it feels like birds trying to get out, fluttering...
