Brian,
I am tormented by the last day of your life. I don't like to remember it and keep trying to override my mind when it recalls the memory. I cant bear that you were so young and your otherwise healthy body just stopped working. I cant accept I will never touch your face, hold your hand or hear your voice ever again.
You are very much here to me - your personality and everything that was you is alive in my memory. This is the most painful experience of my entire life.
When you were diagnosed...
Long time no speak...
We have been very busy moving into the new house, our last home together.
It is taking its toll on us, we are both very tired and feel like we are walking through syrup, but gradually each day we get a little bit more done. Thankfully we have a whole month to do it in, I think back to the many house moves we have made in the past and how we would do it all in a matter of a weekend. That would not be possible now, my mobility and stamina just does not allow. On the other hand...
Thank you for reading my blog. I've done this as there is so little information out there about BCC written by someone who's been through it. I've searched what feels like the entire internet but the information is mainly by healthcare professionals (very useful info). I really needed to read about this condition from someone who'd had dealt with it personally.
I'm a Pharmacy person. And i work in the NHS. I've looked at many lesions over the years and i always suggested...
Carer: someone who provides unpaid support to a family member or friend who would not be able to manage without this help.
It’s a definition at the core of my working day. As the Carers Support Project Officer at Macmillan Cancer Support my 9 to 5 is spent working with a large variety of people to increase the identification and support of cancer carers. But do I identify with the term myself?
On 2nd February 2011 my family were dealt the heartbreaking news that my dad, in the prime of his life...
I'm feeling very alone at the moment, my mum has stage 4, grade 3 cancer, she got diagnosed last March, at stage 1b, we were convinced it would be cured. It's spread and spread and it's not. It's been going on for almost a year and how long can I put my stress on my friends and family? She's been prescribed morphine today due to the pain, she was told she had months to live 2 months ago. I feel I have nobody I can talk to anymore even tho I have so much support, where can I turn to? X ...
And so I received the test results from my scans today along with the results of SLNB and I'm clear! Such a relief from all the worry, know I only have to fight the one area now and it gives me much more focus. Onwards and upwards
Finishing radiotherapy tomorrow, but this treatment is none stop. I am experiencing very painful joint pain mostly at night, my mobility just seems to be getting worse by the day. My feet feel as if am dragging them. Oncologist told me that this is all due to side effects from chemo even thou my last chemo was back in October. We ask if this condition which is call peripheral neuropathy is permitted , apparently it takes along time to repair nerves. Is anyone else going through this painful condition...
Hi I am a 52 man, & I was diagnosed with neck Cancer in April 2015 after an operation to remove my left tonsil it was found that the cancer in my tonsil had also spread to two Lymph Nodes in my neck. My treatment started at the beginning of June & lasted six weeks which consisted of 30 Radiation treatments & 6 Chemo treatments using Cisplatin, I opted not to have the feeding tube as I thought that after having the tonsil removed I could stand the discomfort of the Radiation & Chemo procedure. the...
Dear David
Ever since I first fell in love (with you) I have written so many fan letters, but only in my head. Now, forty years later, I have finally decided it’s time to send one.
When I realised you had gone away, a big, heavy door slammed shut on part of my life. The last time I heard that sound was when I had cancer, as I left my soul on the chemo room floor.
I’ve been struggling to get back to myself ever since, but now I properly understand that I can. Your music shaped all of my past...
