New month, new thread.
Daily Life chit chat for bloods, scans, appointments, going shopping, cutting grass, reading, watching some thing decent on TV - whatever your day has in store for you. That is daily life!
Even having a laugh, that is a normal life, and we all have it.
If you have a special topic please start a new thread so people that wish to see it can, and can comment.
Hope this is to everyone's approval.
Thanks.
Hi Ulls and Ellie, good day, had counselling and exercise group which i though i might struggle with today, but no problem, tried to contact my oncologist, already appointment 15 weeks overdue but got nowhere so i will go to hospital to see if it helps, Ulls everyone dreams many times a night, Ellie know what you mean, why can't people just pick up the phone and give you an answer

I got appointment for my scan. phoned up to book hospital transport, no 15 in queue , an hour later, i get threw, give nhs number, date of birth and name he cut me of.
Rung back 15 in the queue another hour, could not understand a word he said, headache.
Then book another hospital for blood test, then had to phone hairdresser to cancel app same day as scan.
Phone call 5.30 regarding another problem told them a few home truths, then son came in, shattered mentally, thats for sure..
Daughter phoned, sister phoned, GIVE ME A BREAK please lol.
Hi Ellie, I know how ridiculous it is, happens all too often tried to contact 2 people today no luck, phoned GP she's going to call me early March, and a lady from Virgin called while i was just going into counselling asked her to call back in a hour, nothing. apart from that a good day, feel a little better even had a bit of an appetite as well. So have just read todays posts, quiet day, hopefully for nice reasons.

I think everyone get a form of benefit from counselling, i did, though mine was for grieve, and was very informative, i have to say.
Yes has been quiet here today, thats because the weather was nice, and i have spent the whole day on the phone.
#Never slept to good last night, still awake at 5am, so hopefully, out like a light later.
Glad you had a good day, as such, and hopefully it carries on
Hi Ellie had a grill up lovely, i like studying and recently my PSA has risen, a bounce is what it's called when it rises, PSA is an antigen, given off by the prostate if damaged or under attack, more PSA means more cancer. anyway studying, there are new studies that show this could be a good thing, are you still awake?, as in studies patients who had a bounce had more favourable outcomes, not too relevant to me I know, but most still think it's a bad thing so am thinking of posting this on the prostate forum, Ellie like me you are wondering why i am telling you this, as am I, the reason is as PSA is irrrelevant to you i want to ask ,i am 99% certain of the facts cut that 1% , should i be wrong, has consequences, any thoughts.
Eddie
As it is a study and not your own, thinking on what you have read, then if was me,I would be happy to post what i have read, on a study that has been written up.
Its a bit like last week was in the papers, Viagra is also of benefit to help stop, dementia and alchemizes,, done threw a study,
New things such as studies are being put forward all the time, it is information, for those that might be of interest to., each one has to make up thier own minds.
My thoughts, if i had read some study, and though it might enlighten some people, i would post,
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
