Hello everyone,

You just have to batten down the hatches and get on with the chemo. Follow the instructions and make life as easy as possible for yourself and you will be fine. Everyone is different, but the people on this forum are great and have lots of experience to share. They are always ready with a hug and words of support.
Gillian is right, you just get on with it! But if the first lot of anti nausea meds don't help, ask that they try others!

Evening, I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekends. We have been really quiet here as the weather has been so vile.
We have a leak in the study ceiling but hubby cant get up on the roof to have a look until it is drier than it is at present. I am charged with getting a roofer in tomorrow after we come back from radiotherapy. I am just over half way through now.
Hubby is still eating mush until he has the plate in his mouth removed on Wednesday, then he will have to see how his mouth op went. Fingers crossed it was the benign tumour he was told it was. The biopsy result was quite clear so there should be no surprises but until you hear it you have a worry.
Anyway just cooking dinner. Making a queen of puddings so I will bring any leftovers in here later. It is such a comforting pud.
Good evening everybody,just popping in on my way out to see how you all are

Hi Carol, and everyone,
Hope all is good for you all, or at least not bad! Kittens ok?
Popped a carrot cake in the tin, do help yourselves (cyber cake won't fatten, lol!) and there's plenty of ice and tonic for those who like a G&T (bottle of gin already in the drinks cupboard)
Me? Doing ok at last thanks to a hefty 40 minute physio session on my neck (never knew my head went at those angles!) , another tomorrow plus exercises to do, he said. I hope to be ready to doggy-sit at the weekend. Daughter is doing fine, still having monthly immunoglobulin (which was this last Monday) and she will be coming down at the weekend. Much planning, no doubt, for Berlin trip to meet her donor at the end of the month. I'm quite excited and have fished out the German phrasebook and refreshed my memory for a couple of basic phrases like 'Schprechen sie Englisch bitte?'
hahaha!

ok, lovely people,
I'm about to sound you out for ideas........
What on this earth can I take to Berlin as a thank you for giving our daughter a life? (his bone marrow stem cells) what is good enough to say thank you? How can I ever ever begin to say thank you??????
I'm thinking of a magazine where she talked about it.....maybe some sort of souvenir of London? (it has to pack into an overhead locker)
Nothing seems enough.

moomy,
You could try, and I quote "Ich bin Ihnen sehr dankbar, danke sehr"...
translates to "I am so grateful to you, thank you".
Pronounced as "Eech bin eenen sair dankbar, danka sair" if that helps at all.
I'm sure that and a big hug would more than suffice!!!!
I knew my German qualification would come in useful 1 day...
