How frightening for you not knowing the cause for a while.

I am so pleased it isn’t your cancer causing mets or a bleed.

Hooefully you will soon be better now with the medication.

it is very scary to have new things wrong with us as if we haven’t got enough.

well done for sticking up for yourself and getting home ok.

I hope you and Vince have a peaceful Christmas xxx

Hi Annette anndanv

OMG What a week. After reading that I'm stunned, astonished, astounded, shocked and staggered. I used to take dizzy spells when I was younger, my head was spinning and I felt so sick. I hope you improve asap.

Lots of love

That is unlawful suffering. You stay at home now and do Nothing! I feel exhausted on your behalf. Please improve in time for Christmas. Xx

What a week for you.i know what you mean about bedpans I am the same.Hopefully your medication will do the job.Tace it easy mind the weather today there’s not much we can do.

Hi Don, Thank you for your reply! You are right, maybe I should have taken my password!! It reminded me of being in USA one year when our daughter was young and they did every test under the sun because the holiday insurance was paying for it and they definitely went OTT! To me it was as if they wanted their beds full on Sunday so that they wouldn't have the hassle of other patients coming in!

How did your treatment go on the 17th? I hope it was smooth with no after effects!

Hi Ruthjp, Yes it was very scary for a while especially when they kept mentioning a reoccurrence of MM. However once I found out the scan was clear of mets, I was so relieved, as was the family as you can imagine!

Hi Norberry, I was exhausted indeed and slept all day Monday. The family have already said I have to be a spectator on Christmas Day, which is fine as most things like home made soup, steak pie (for Christmas Day) and turkey for Boxing Day, I already have prepared and they are in our freezer! So resting won't be difficult!

I hope you all have a terrific Christmas!  Love Annette x

HI TVman, Well, I was the one staggering and shocked! Lol! Also astonished they weren't throwing me out! Especially when the scan confirmed there was no recurrence of Mrlanoma or a bleed on the brain! They said it Could be an inner ear infection OR Post Viral Syndrome after having Coronavirus last month, so no definite answer as to the cause!

Hi Peggy24 As well as having to use bedpans and not the toilets, the trolley bed I spent hours in had one fitted sheet (that funny material) no pillow, no blankets etc Supposedly again because of the virus! So I couldn't lie back comfortably without a pillow which made it worse than it needed to be!

Anyway, thanks again for replying and I am ready for a very quiet Christmas! The medication seems to have helped a bit, so it is not every time I stand up, just when I get up too fast or forget and bend down for something, so here's hoping it will keep improving over the weekend.

Thanks again to all who commented! Oh almost forgot, our boiler went out last Tuesday and I couldn't bend or even get out of bed to look at it. So my husband called the engineer who came on Thursday and sorted it. That's the first time my husband has been shown how to reset it as I'm the one who normally does it. So, something else I don't have to teach him! Although he's now able to use our new cooker, so has been making dinner this week! He is really chuffed with himself! 
Take Care ALL,

Oh Annette..what a week nobody want's or need. I'm so glad your brain is clear, must be so scary. See i had a brain tumor and no symptoms lol. Pleased you got it all sorted for xmas and can rest now, hope the meds will work soon. And hey, it's never to late for any hubby to learn things.. mine had to do washing and cooking when i had chemo for the first months' he was pretty good at it, except we had some white washing come out pink !! ( it was a paper serviette in red ) . Merry xmas Pet

Oh anndanv  as if you haven't been through enough lately!!! My Consultant said that one of the problems with our group is that it becomes increasingly complex trying to work out what is disease progression/side effects from treatment/unrelated to cancer....

 You can have incurable cancer and laberynthitis but first of all they have to rule out the big stuff. What a nightmare, I hope the medication is helping and you're getting plenty of rest. I also hope your next day out is a much better experience.

xx

Thanks Tinalay, Yes your consultant is right. In what other group would anyone be happy about having vertebrae out of place or having Labyrinthitis! It is just a relief to know whatever it is, it isnt directly the result of a cancer diagnosis!

People must think we are a strange bunch! Lol!
