Lung Chatty Thread

Hi Cathy, hope you got on ok at the hospital today x 

Hi Lolie, this lockdown isn’t as strict as our last one. Schools still open, lots of people still at work. Pubs and restaurants are closed, but can do take away, gyms, hairdressers, gyms and cloth shops shut. Fingers crossed with this vaccine. 

Thanks chelle - yes all good happy with the PDt treatment. Next biopsy/bronchoscopy  February covid permitting.  So going to try and chill and avoid covid  hope all good for you.

I so miss all the banter with you and Gina and julie...... and Darlo bless ( been a tough year on the heart xx

Hi Cath,

So pleased you got a good result today especially after all the stress you had. Not said this for a long time but I’ll raise a little glass for you tonight

That’s really good news, you can sit back and relax for Christmas now. I have found it really hard losing Gina. She truly was an inspiration x 

Good news from you all Pleased to see.

im off to hospital to have bloods checked. These clinical trials take many checks but good they keep a close eye.

with experimental drugs I guess they must 

dear Gina. All happened so quickly it’s still a shock. she was such a big part of this group.  

Hi Chelle & Julie - we must all try and stay strong - I raised a few to many last night  and am now suffering.

Its strange how Cancer unites so many of us.......I cried for our girl Gina as I'm sure you both did and our wise man Darlo - but moving forward as we must they would both want us all to be positive and happy and kind to others. This year has been surreal with Covid /Cancer and loss.

I wish you ladies so much luck and joy moving forward and lets hope we hear some good news from more of our members - Big Hug xxx Cathy

Sorry ive not been as active on the site as I should have been - but always read the posts.

Hi everyone, hope we are doing ok. I’ve not been around much, it’s been a difficult week, as Dad has been diagnosed with Essential thrombocytopenia, which is a form of blood cancer. So he’s joined the club with me. With covid, he had to go to the hospital by himself last week, when they told him the diagnoses, but my brother was able to go with him today, because I don’t think my dad actually took it in. He’s on chemo tablets, and will have regular blood tests. The rollercoaster ride that just keeps on giving. 

Hi Chelle

So sorry to hear about your dad, you are right, the rollercoaster ride unfortunately continues

Covid is a nightmare, don’t know how old your dad is, but going alone must have been hard and so emotional for him. Thank god he had your brother today.

Stay strong and keep positive, both for yourself and your dear dad

best wishes

Hi Chelle

so sorry to hear about your dad. We know more than many how unfair life can be.

how especially awful that he had to be given the news without someone there with him for support but as you’ve said, he probably hadn’t processed the information and you must be so thankful that your brother was able to be with him on his follow up.

its good that it’s been acted upon so quickly too

Hope he does well on his treatment. Blood cancers seem so much more treatable now.
