My Mum was diagnosed with mesothelioma in November and she's been very depressed since. She's now had three rounds of chemotherapy and got the results of her CT scan yesterday. The doctor was very hurried and left her feeling a bit abandoned as he said they weren't going to give her any more chemo as her reaction to it was so bad, the tumour is 'stable' but no more, and there is more fluid on her lung. She's going back in 3 or 4 weeks… I feel like we don't know what to expect next. I think her cancer...
The last couple of days have mentally been bad, i just cant shake off the fact that things are not going to be ok, yes i must admit this time last year i thought that i would either be in an NED status or dead, not still stuck in cancer world, with limeted options, i thought on jan 5th that i was going to be told there was nothing more they could do, but instead found out the tumors could be surgically removed i was amazed i thought it be an end to this cancer game, but now i must wait till the end...

When we climbed up that hill,
And took in the view,
I felt there a chill,
As I know you came too.
The body destroyed,
The structure is gone,
But still hanging in there,
You still come along.
And trapped in a moment,
I'm out on a limb,
Indulged and excited,
A wish and a whim....
I know you are smiling,
Amused by the ride,
We are all now together,
Come what time, come what tide...
Last week we were in Penang, it is twenty five years since we were last there, half of my...
It's coming up to my mums first anniversary. She passed away last year on the 14th March after A 2 year battle with colon cancer that spread.
Im not sure why but I feel very nervous about it. Like it's the day I'm meant to do a test or something. I'm really worried about it.
I dont think I've really come to terms with my mums death at all. I was 26 weeks pregnant when she died and I've had my son to distract me for the past 8 months so I've not really had chance to think about it...
well in 4-5 weeks time i have another scan to see if there are only one or two germ cell cancerous nodules in my lungs, if so all well and good, as it be surgery for a possible cure,
and why not me? I. Mean other people have been cured by surgery so why not me??
but am i looking at this as vain hope, would the consultants lie to me? I mean nothing gone right so far? Should i be spending my money enjoying things as if inhad a few months left, or should i be cautious and know i have bills to pay if...
I am preparing for a mastectomy in ten days time. I live alone and am very active and involved in my village and church. The thing is - I'm worried about coming home with a drain and not having anyone on hand to help me empty it. A silly worry I am sure, but there we are. You watch videos on YouTube and there's always someone there to hold the tube, or help with the manoeuvres: I will have plenty of day time help but overnight I will be on my own. Any advice gladly received!
The other strange...
The odds were low,
The stakes were high,
We couldn't look,
Or else I'd cry,
Yet always hope,
I don't know why,
Ten years ago...
The nightmares real,
The hair a fake,
Those surgeons
and the mess they'd make,
I'm shaken up,
But didn't break,
Ten years ago...
How fortunate to be able to say this now, the last of my decade celebration! Back to work for me and looking forwards at blue skies from here -I wish you all calm waters x
Hardly eating. have urgent appt with Gastro, for cancer patients but doc said she doesnt hi nk I have cancer,worried about how long I may have left if positive. Doc sent me 4 ultrasnd said stomach/bowel are not seen time wasted.
It's now 4 weeks and 4 days since my surgery. I attended the outpatient clinic today and the doctor seems happy with my healing graft. I am to attend my next outpatient appointment in 4 weeks when the doctor expects the graft to be fully healed and no visible scarring!! I myself, have been feeling much better during the past few days and think I can visibly see healing and the graft site slowly looking smaller.
