Well actually i think i am in a good place right now. New years eve i had my mini melt down, stupidly i felt like i would be leaving dad behind in 2010. This time last year although devastated by his diagnosis we were taking the kids to the zoo, going shopping, choosing fish together for my aquarium. Gosh talking of that when we went to get fish, i remember telling him i want a baby as he grabbed my hand as we crossed the road....he always always did that. Sorry anyway we were making memories and enjoying...
hi everyone
i would just like to ask if anyone out there has been on the same chemo as i am about to start on next week as im wondering about side effects know not everyone experiences the same side effects but would be grateful if they could share any tips before during and after the treatment all tips gratefully accepted im starting on EOX pirubicin xaliplatin apecitabine .would be great if i could even pronounce the bleeding stuff!!!
just thought id try and prepare for the unknown a little bit...
it has been 4wks sincee steve passed away, this is my first time on my own kids have gone back to school. i have not cried much, some days i do feel down others i'm ok. but i'm feeling gulity that i'm not sobbing my heart out? or do i think he has not gone and i'm denying it? i feel confused.
It's a funny old time round here and I have just spent ages trying to decide what emphasis to put on the title for this blog post. I am a lot better than I was but the bottom wound is still sore (and a few tiny millimetres are still healing). This didn't stop us having some Christmas fun and the girls' excitement about the big day was really sweet. Santa enjoyed the mince pie they left by the fireplace very much thank you!
Unfortunately just after Christmas, I realised that what I had...
Well I've made it to 2011 and had a really good Christmas with all of the family and celebrated the New Year with a minature bottle of Jamesons!!. Had a hangover this morning! Watched the London fireworks on TV - quite impressive.
Felt quite good since Xmas apart from the cold I can't shift. Started my new chemo this morning so writing this now before side effects kick in (ever the pessimist).
Radiotherapy on neck seems to have helped a bit so not sore all the time.
Don't need to comb hair...
Hi today Im feeling much better and would like to say thankyou to jennifer 52, Sarsfield, Liz g, and alienzel for their kind words. I know think that life without a bladder is going to hopefully be life without cancer, so a bag isnt such a big deal. This site is so much help and I dont know what we would do without it. A very happy and healthy new year to you all. x Rosie0207
Today I took down the xmas decorations, cleaned the lounge from top to bottom and relished in the normality now that xmas is out of the way, this led me to thinking how we will feel when (fingers crossed) Rich is cancer free.
Hiya well i hope you all had a lovely xmas and great new year :-)
I had a wonderfull time with the kids, only to return home and find my boiler had leaked through to my living room... what a lovely treat for me!! I threw my landlord the keys to my house and stormed out crying and refused to return until the leak and the ceiling was fixed, i cant wait to move now!!!
I had chemo again on thrusday, really struggled with the cold cap again and i cant wait until its over now. They have put me on new...
Well it's over at last, thank goodness. This is the worst Christmas and New Year I've ever had. It's 8 weeks since my wonderful husband died and I'm absolutely lost without him. Friends and family have been great, but they can't replace the love of my life. A neighbour asked me how Christmas had gone and I said 'awful'. She said it would be the same every year as Frank had died so near Christmas. That's something to look forward to!
Back to working full days tomorrow...
