Hi new to this group and wondered how people cope with the emotional roller coaster I am currently riding. Had a colostomy bag fitted Monday and learning to change this independently which is going well I think.....
Read up on all the physical aspects of a colostomy and thought I was prepared for the days after.... How wrong I was.... Be good to hear from others experiences and how they coped.
Hi everyone and thanks for accepting my friend requests. So had my MRI with primovist today...... Think my lungs need a rest holding my breath so many times and as for the shaking bed uuuuuuggggghhh still it's done and dusted phew. 
. Stoma nurse discharged me this morning but drs said no due to my inability to pass urine frequently enough ..... Peeing in the bottle with the sound of running water is working so fingers crossed I could be home after my PET scan tomorrow. My own bed and a good night's sleep is well needed after 8 days in hospital it's true what they say you don't go into hospital for a rest lol. Update you all tomorrow on what happens and hope everyone is well and happy.

Hi Roblfc
Fingers crossed you’re home tomorrow, it’s so true you can’t rest in hospital. Just drop off and they wake you for something. I found the nights worst of all.
best wishes for the scan and hospital discharge

Good evening everyone finally home!! PET scan went well so much more relaxing than yesterday's MRI. Have to do 20 more days of fragmin injections housemate is doing this as I hate even the sight of a needle . Just tomorrow to face as far as answers and treatment then I can begin the battle of kicking this cancers ass (no pun intended). Long shower clean clothes fresh bedding and an early night..... Happy days!

Congratulations on your release from Hospital. Now you really can relax and recoup.
I hated the blood thinner jabs. I dreaded six pm. Jab time. It’s great you have someone to help.
Best wishes with the results.
Enjoy being home.
best wishes
Ann
