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 Moi, & Everyone, Well they must have done something right because this is the first time I've managed to sign on and reply! AT LAST! I have missed you all! Hope the bloods etc go well Moi.
Candysmum, I am in Scotland too. I think the assist part is they supply the drugs! At least it's a start and gets people talking. However how many of us here might have thought of taking that way out when we were diagnosed and prognosis was 5-7 months NOT knowing Trial Drugs, Chemo or other meds might work? Food for thought, don't jump at it!
Ulls, the new drugs you mentioned, will any suit you?
I have no chance backtracking to see what's been happening so I'd like to just wish EVERYONE a very good weekend, with lots of treats! You all deserve it!!
Love Annette x
Glad to see you back on.
Not jumping on anything, when i was first diagnosed, it never ever crossed my mind, I would try anything, but as things stop working and you have more and more side effects and and another different treatment, and you fill fill terrible, and no one knows how you really fill, then for me, mind set changes.
I will try as long as i can, though there will come a time, and i have told my family this, when i say, thats enough no more,
they must respect that,.
I did chemo, and i know the next chemo going to be harsher and so it goes on. Done radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
Its quality not quantity that is more important, Though every one has there own thoughts.
Thanks Ellie, It's good to be back. My it's quiet on here!
Yes, I thought I believed in quality rather than quantity but then you keep going, through all the side effects to spend some more time with your family but this is neither the life I wanted nor envisaged! As you say, we will know when enough is enough and my family know that too, that it's my decision!
Well, how are your workmen doing? Surely it won't be long now before our are in the lap of luxury when they have finished!
I'm glad I got back on because everyone is away next week so it will be quiet apart from to appointments for me! Enjoy en extra glass of wine with your chocolate at the weekend!
Love Annette x
Good morning all, nice and sunny but a chill in the wind.
Hope you get a good result at hospital today Moi.
Hi Annette, not sure if the new meds will be for me or not, will ask oncologist when I see him.
Hi Ellie, you'll out live me no problem, cos if you were to go first I'd be very sad, so I want to go first, as I don't want to be sad.
If dieing in bed peacefully is the option I'll have that, how ever if dieing means hanging about in great pain, with no chance of getting well, I demand my right to die even if they call it suisidey.
Hi Ulls
Oh right i do not want you to be sad either, so i will stay a little longer, broke into song there.
Like you i do not want to be in pain, Tom was is agony,
His whole breast bone was broke from bottom to top, he even lost his voice and eyesight , i would not have let an animal go threw what he did, so yes when enough is enough our choice.
Had company already 9.10 to 11.10my son is coming down today from Lincoln, so must do some clearing up.
Yes sun out here, though the wind has a bite to it, xx
