Hallo, me again, she who is resident in Germany. I have a number of questions to which I should love some answers! Just get told to Google it here.
1. The pus coming from my tumour smells. I HATE that smell. Is there anything I can do, swollow,spray on it to stop the smell. I wear perfume all the time but the smell conquers the perfume! I use collidal Silver (Googled it) which helps a lot with bleeding but not with the smell.
2. A friend in the UK has lung cancer, she gets so much help from Macmillan (which is why she told me to try and join). She has been told not to carry heavy stuff, not iron and not to do housework. She eveb gets a government payment so that she can hire a cleaning lady!!!! Is there stuff I shouldn't be doing? Went shopping yesterday, heaving stuff in and out of trolleys and car boots: felt so shattered when I got back, couldn't eat, just had to lie down.
3. About the pus: I was telling myself it must be good - dead tumour cells coming out but now I wonder if it is dead normal cells and the tumour is doing a Putin, killing off all it can.
4. I have to say I feel generally weary and am often short of breath, is this normal?
5. I have never been a good sleeper, can't switch my brain off. I take Tramadol painkillers about one a day if the pain gets too bad. My friend sent me some of her sleeping tablets which are wonderful and work!!!! But they say to talk to your doctor if you also take Tramadol. Anyone know why? Does my hair turn green? Do my hands drop off? Wish the leaflets would be more explicit. And no talk to the doctor does not work here.
Cheers Brabant - grateful for any thoughts in reply. Or should I (er can I) ask the Macmillan experts?
