AWAKE.........

Puzzler, so sorry to read your.l news. Pity the consultant can’t. e straight with you instaed of glossing over. Not knowing is so much worse than being aware of exa tly what you are facing.

So glad you have a friend coming to stay. Meanwhile, keep posting, we are all here for you.

Big hugs xxxxxxx

Puzzler, should have mentioned, agree that it would be better to tell your daughter when you have a proper plan on place. I’m sure she would want to know to be able to support you xxx 

Hi Snuggles10, sorry you were awake in pain and no one responded. It is really due to yhe site problems. Yhere is always someone awke on this thread.

I remember from earlier posts how much trouble you were having and the long waits. I do

hope you are sorted out soon and that yiur GP can help with the knees.

 Big hugs xxxxx

Sorry to hear that you've had such crappy news - hopefully they'll get the plan in place for you really quickly. 

I'm sure you're daughter would want to know, as others have said - maybe when you have the plan so that you know exactly what is happening as well. 

Hopefully your friend's visit will be helpful in enabling you to come to terms with where you are now and where you're going from here without allowing you to dwell on it all the time. 

Sending all my best wishes to you!

Sorry to hear your news sending a gentle hug.. or three xx

Oh ...I have no idea what it might mean,but here is a massive big (((((hug))))) for you ,bless you.Saying a little prayer....xxx

Hi , sounds like a really shitty appointment! However it also sounds like your team is on the job and already finding a plan that's right for you! I think it's important for you to have all the information before you get your head around it and before you tell your daughter!

With all the information in hand you can explain clearly exactly what your prognosis is and how this next piece of treatment will pan out! I personally think things are less scary when you know what you are dealing with! 

I know how scared, shocked, frustrated, angry and annoyed you must feel right now. But it will get easier! You will find a way to cope with all these thoughts and feelings. Keeping busy is a good plan, especially while you are waiting for a treatment plan! But if you need to offload anytime day or night, you know we are all here for you! 

No one knows where this new path will take you, but it will be full of twists and turns! I promise you you WILL have many good days between the bad! This isn't what you expected to be dealing with. But you WILL cope because you don't have a choice, but you will cope with the love and support of the ladies/gents on here! We all love you and will hold your hand whenever you need us.

Take care Hun. Be kind to yourself. Although it might feel like it, this ISN'T the end of the world!! 

Love Sal xx

Ah Sal LondonLass what a lovely message.

We will all be rooting for you . xx

I seem to have picked up a bug of some description. I've had a headache, nausea and gutsache since Friday. Now pouring water and electrolytes down my throat in case it's just dehydration. Ugh.

I did manage to spend an hour or so at the field after work, which went pretty well. I'm getting the occasional end (6 arrows) I would have been happy to get with the recurve, so going in the right direction. I did manage to lose an arrow though. I know roughly where it is, but it has buried itself. Back out with a metal detector tomorrow then to find it. At £20 a pop I can't lose too many.............

Also going to be learning how to coach a beginner tomorrow, to help out at the course we are running on Saturday.

Looks like it will be a bit cooler tomorrow too.

Sleep tight everyone

sorry about the crappy results, Sal summed it up beautifully so not much I can add. I switched to paclitaxel and found it much easier to tolerate, they also found 'lung nodules' on my ct too, just monitoring them at the moment and after 2 more scans they haven't grown, onc did say sometimes we have these for no reason, a bit like polyps.

toxophilite Karen, you look after yourself and get rid of those bugs. You should invent something for finding arrows, like they do for golf balls!

Violetsniff didn't make the forest as it was raining too much, so hopefully sometime this week. It's not quite at the end of my garden, that would be asking too much! It's about quarter of mile from me so as good as.

well done for getting the Blue Badge (sounds like something from girl guides) but it's an uphill struggle to get anything these days. I said the other day I had to put in a NEW claim for pension credit even though I've been getting it for over a year now, well got letter today to say I'd got it... whoopee. Phoned the PIP people to tell them change of address ( taken days to get through) and guess what they said? yes... you have to make a new claim!

I went ballistic.. if you think I'm going through all that palaver again, assessment etc, you can think again. Poor chap by the time I'd finished ranting he put me on hold while he got a supervisor.. who then told me I didn't need to do a new claim as they would get my details from England! Foreign country again.. it's ridiculous.  At least they're all sorted now fingers crossed.

Went into city centre this afternoon and it's lovely. All the usual big name shops but lots of little individual ones and a gorgeous waterfront. I wandered for about 4hours so am crackered now. Picked up loads of leaflets for things to do, so will definitely be doing some more investigating. It's like being a tourist but with loads of time!

Oh got my oil delivery this morning and the lovely tanker driver explained it all to me and showed me what to do... I've found everyone really kind and helpful so far.

Right best be off, early night I think. Have a peaceful pain-free night.
