Well that's chemo number 5 out of the way! It was a long wait today, we arrived at 9:30 as usual and were sent straight to the day ward for Rich to settle himself on a bed (after his fainting episode he is no longer allowed to sit in the comfy chairs). Tracy, his assigned nurse, came and put the heat pack on his hand straight away and after a few minutes Dr Mike came and put his cannula in.
Then we waited, and waited and waited a bit longer.......I got a little bit peckish and wandered off to the...

We brought pop home tonight and it was worth all the hard work just to see that beautiful smile on his face. The doctor told us that he doesnt think he has much time but im sure with good care and lots of love we can keep him for alittle longer.
Im feeling alittle weepy tonight and dont really know what to do with myself but i think its just the stress of today and tommorow ill be back and fighting.
Thanks for all the earlier comments it really warms my heart to know that i can come on here and...
I hate the night before chemo, I feel nervous, sick, scared, anxious and a million and one other negative things. I worry about how he will react, how many times he will be sick, how long will it take for him to start feeling better.....thank goodness im not the one having the chemo otherwise id be a gibbering mess on the floor!

Well today Grandad was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I knew he was going in for tests with my Mum but we had no idea he is 91 and an amazing man which is why we were so shocked. Feel kinda not with it a bit shell shocked really and the tears keep coming. Worried about his op in 2 weeks and about him not having any chemo etc Just hope he pulls through this .
Got my surgery date, the 31st of January...then more waiting....patient as I have said is a very apt name!!
I had a good chat with the nurses in the hospital yesterday as when i went to see pop i seen a big change in him. The nurses agreed that he is going down fast and said if he really wants to be home nows the best time to take him so im meeting with the doctor at half three today to discuss with him about getting pop home.
I know weve got hard times ahead but with the help of the macmillan nurse we are able to take pop home and i know thats where he really wants to be. So its busy busy busy today...
I'm 39 and living with my partner in Scotland. My father died from a Brain Tumor in his early fifties, my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and is now continuing her remedial therapy after successful chemo treatment. My brother of 52, died on the 21st of Dec this year from a rare type of Lymphoma. I feel now is a time for myself to ensure my own wellbeing and do something positive for Cancer treatments and patients. I've set targets for the coming year with my partner for fundraising...
Had my last session of chemo on 6th January and oh, did it feel good to know it was finished, (hopefully for a long time, although I will need more at some stage). Anyway, I am feeling good right now and have a CT scan booked for 11th February followed by a meeting with my consultant on the 21st to discuss the results. I am experiencing quite a sense of freedom at the moment, because I have had to have weekly blood tests and chemo each week, for three weeks out of every four since last June and it...
Friends!!
