Hi ellie 73  I haven’t heard anything from Lee, I will tag his name then he should get a notification to let him know we are thinking of him Lec 

Hi TVman

I've actually got Adrenal Insufficiency....my adrenal glands don't work now! You can read about it in my profile.

I take steroids twice a day, for ever. Unless I get a stomach bug, when I have to double my dose. it is a bit of a balancing act.

I did read about your dog when you mentioned it a while ago. I must admit, I was surprised that he only had an injection every 6 to 8 weeks, as humans have to dose 2 or 3 times a day! I did find it puzzling.

I made the decision not to have chemo, because the side effects (vomiting, diarrhoea) will make it very difficult for me to keep my steroid dose level. Obviously, I would like to be able to accept more treatment! That's why I'd like to see someone who specialises in Addison's, as my current endo doctor doesn't.

Phew! Sorry to bore everyone with so much detail!

Hi Kate, we all need to go into detail sometimes, I have to take steroids because of a digestive problem as a result of immunotherapy. It is far from pleasant and even further from boring. I hope you find a doctor who smooths your way to further treatment should you so wish.

Hi Lucy, Thank you. I’ve always been a positive person and cancer has not changed that.

Last Sunday my niece gave birth to her first child at 37 & I’m pleased mum & son doing well, isn’t life wonderful!! Take care!

Hi Kate, I hope you get to see the specialist in that field. I can’t think of a reason you would not be able to!

Morning All

Well my morning has not got of to a good start.

Had a run in with my gp surgery, and the in the end, told them what I thought, the truth hurts at times.

It was like i was on 20 questions, i was told to phone gp by the hospice,

Hope you  all have a good day. 

You tell them Ellie! Go girl!

Morning all

My cardio appointment was cancelled yesterday, and moved to next week, so I have nothing to report.

However, we've had the best news! Dumfries is going to have a Maggie's Centre!

This has been proposed and put back several times over the last 10 years, Dumfries' hospital board being difficult....but they've finally given it the go ahead.

I wonder if I'll be around when it's finished?? Hope so! A new target for me.....

Oh ellie 73 that isn’t good. I hope you got what you needed in the end ? I don’t know why the GP surgery’s have so many obstacles they seem to put in our way! It’s so frustrating xx
