Hi Sam

You will be glad to hear my Malamute is a rescue I’ve always owned one and never purchased, as with my cats Barr the Maine Coon that my daughter asked Santa for x

Lol MUA isn’t my profession just a past time, I have never heard of the feel good workshops?

Not sure when to expect the results of the MRI #nowt to scan lol I’m guessing next Tuesday when I start Chemo and yes it was knees down *** out kinda job, all dignity is long gone!! 

I am slowly beginning to imagine what a chatter box you would be in real life and I like it xx

Let me know how your Chemo goes doll I’ll be thinking of you x

Hi Sam 

Tried to reply yesterday dont jnkwnif got it. Yea so far so good, I went to church then in the night went to work. Have been so very strong really not much to complain about ,no weakness that can enables me not to do what I used to.

My turmor was 4.4 cm just before treatment but so far haven't observed physical changes but the discomfort which was there mostly in the night is not yet there,hopefully is starting to be effective. I used to take ice blocks in gloves and press it on my turmor but now no more.

I  finish steroids today and started antibiotics today..Sam you will be ok ,every body works differently for many reasons we can not know everything all I can say see yourself in making it.

I read one testimony the man was through chemo, he never lost hair,was going to work and gum daily, he was living life just as normal until he won it.it was amazing hearing it.

You are in my prayers Sam .

God bless and sleep well.

Got unexpected news I've got lung cancer on Friday (was seeing a rheumatologist for my aching knees at the time)

I was shocked as it was the last thing I expected plus I'd only recently been to GP anyway! 

I'm feeling quite ok, not broken down, not shed a tear and I'm finding I'm more worried about telling family and friends and how it will affect them than anything else. Have only told partner so far and he completely broke down, my response was I'm not dead yet! I know my warped sense of humour will pull me through but I also know it will offend a few folk

Got a trip to New York planned October, no that will devastate me if I have to cancel.

Hope you keep up with the strong positive attitude, it is absolutely the best way.

Good luck x

Hi Sam 

That's good Sam. Hoping all will go well.i didn't like the cold cap and wont do it again.had to stay with it 2.15 hours very tight and uncomfortable, my head was really uncomfortable with great Mark's on forehead until the night.

It's too tight .

Yes am feeling ok relaxed at home eating and drinking as advised. Am only trying to keep in mind what food am taking dont need much acidic but as possible as alkaline. 

God bless

Looking back at your history i can tell that you've been on quite an adventure!

Your partner sounds like mine who took at a lot worse than me, yes telling friends and family was challenging in some respects, particularly when there were tears from them.  I've set up a what's app page for close friends and family to keep them abreast (boom, boom!) of to'ing & fro'ing, its quite amusing as they're all bl00dy comedians, obviously I'm the funniest though...also means I don't have to keep having the same blummin' conversation.

Good luck with New York, I also had a flight booked to Naples for a pal & me October to have a driving holiday but don't want to put too much pressure on her re me feeling like sh1t and what if I got ill out there.  We're going to do a UK tour instead, not sure where yet but want to go to Northumberland as looks lovely.

If by strong positive attitude you mean asking poor health professionals 20 questions, using the fact am "ill" to illicit sympathy/money/gifts from loved ones and generally being bothersome then yes i am ON IT!

HI sam 

Hope you had a good day and night, wishing you all the success tomorrow,  may everything turn for your good.

In my prayer

Nel,

3.36 you sent this! You're either a night owl or not sleeping I'm guessing, that is EARLY! 

It was absolutely fine though despite all my home work/forum lurking I was still surprised at the number of things, in addition to the chemo (that was the quickest part of the 3.5 hour exercise), that were going on.

The 3.5 hrs should have been less but I can't stop talking, can't help it being a gobby northerner.

Cold cap was fine, not painful (though I do have quite a high pain threshold) more uncomfortable but definitely doable (will see how hair gets on).

So all in all a long but good day, absolutely lovely nurses, pharmacist ( who has given me a billion tablets for anti sickness to take over the next 3 days or so) and other hospital staff so am very lucky. My breast cancer nurse also showed up for a chat which was lovely.

Still early days though so let's see what delights tomorrow holds...think your prayers helped, thanks.

Are you still feeling good, despite maybe not sleeping too well?

Sam
 

Ha Sam I sleep so well.i was at work last night 12 hours shift came home and feel ok. Nit too bad.

Am glad was ok and met lovely people that's all we expect. They are your Angel's.

 tomorrow is my little one 4th birthday so will be out for fun.

So far so good .

Have good rest
