hi im 36 mother of 3 n diagnosed dec 23. ive had 2 ops n 5 of 6 chemo n finding it very hard at mo. feel so peed off n cant get rid of that feeling. would love to chat. x
was so pleased to hear from you when i checked yesterday. im sorry you are not well of course but was scared it was because of your scan. it sounds awful what you are having to go through. really hope you are starting to feel better now. is this all from the infection?? i know you had problems with your lungs before. just hope you will get well soon. missed you!
i over did it at the weekend n couldnt move very well yesterday. had a very lazy day! thinking of you.
Awwww,you lot you make my eyes leak !!!thank you for all you kind wishes. Wentto the hospital today as arm is still the same and I have cellulitis.Another antibiotic added to the 2 already on and appt at the lymphoedema clinic Fri.Probably brought on by the rascal growing in the lymph glands so hopefully the chemo will kick in soon and all will be well again !!!
Personally I found rads to be a breeze,no side effects at all. 5 weeks of finding a parking space was the worse part. It is normal to be tired out,especially as you are back in work.Plenty of good food and rest.Shents is the girl to follow,if you can read her blog,she is inspirational for everyone.
thank you Rose you are a special lady,my trouble is I still find it difficult to believe I have cancer or had??? I was given the choice of chemo but doc said it would only give me an extra 5% chance of long term survival.As my chances of long term survival are supposed to be good ? I oppted out.I do feel in limbo at the moment and a few hours at work takes my mind off things ,I'm sending you lots of positive healing thoughts and I think of you often...keep your chin up hunny xxxNettyxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Glad things are getting sorted for you Rose. I hope the antibiotics kick in asap to give you a bit of relief.
Re the blog - Thanks for your recent comment. Hope I gave you a laugh! I've posted a couple of things on there in the last couple of days that should hopefully give people a little bit of a smile if they need one - The Presidents's Speech and a clip of an Indian Pole Dancing man! Enjoy! - www.letyerhairdown.blogspot.com
still not on much which makes me realise how poorly you are! not that you sounded great anyway. wishing you well n sending all my love n strength to you. will always be here for you n think of you lots. you are such a lovely person, a real lady! you get well soon.
i was told the other day that my nerve pain n muscle pain may never go away. i might not ever get back to how i was. but i still think myself lucky. lucky to be here, have my family, have my friends, n have you lot, that are soo much part of my life!
unfortunately, some of us have not been so lucky. nina had to have her knee op, n just the thought of it makes me cringe. bon jovi aka donna has just had her op to remove cancer from her ovaries, a hysterectomy. both are recovering. then we have louise, suffering from headaches n dizziness, she has a scan which shows cells in her brain. this life can be so unfair!! shes half way through radio now n is suffering with major headaches n is very low. as you all can imagine. i cant however, imagine having radio on your brain! cant imagine how it feels for her. cant imagine how she copes with 4 children especially when she just set a date for her wedding. she asked if i would let you know, its just been hard to write this when you care so much n are at the end of treatment. i feel guilty not telling you before cos your thoughts, prayers n good wishes would comfort her a lot.
you all have so much heart n seem to know what to say, at just the right time. n im sure you will now.
a friend of mine sent me a card today. it read,
i like to think that everyone in life is a duck, bobbing around on the surface looking serene, but underneath their legs are going like mad trying to keep up with what gets in their way. i think of you as a swan, gracious in your battle, yet still paddling. keep those legs moving mate and you'll get to calmer waters.
Lol Lisa I laughed out loud at this, especially as at the moment Ive got an ipad for sale on ebay, just hope people dont think its the same as yours lol x
I,m so sorry the pain clinic didnt give you better news,after all youve been through you deserve to have a break.I hope things will improve in time as the treatment eventually wears off completely.
Oh what a blow for Louise.The radio just HAS to work !!! A man in the hospital bed next to my husband a couple of years ago had a brain tumour and had radio and it shrank to a tiny amount and has not grown back since so I hope and pray this will happen for Louise as well.Please wish her all the luck in the world..Far too many people hurt by this horrid thing.
you didnt mention how you are getting on now. hows the arm now? are you feeling much better? i hope you are getting better. think you are definately a swan!
good news with tony! thank god its shunk a bit n just hope it carries on this way. donna is allowed to go home today. at least she has a better chance of sleeping at home, just know shes gonna over do it though! had a message from lou yesterday n she said she was feeling bit better. yes youre right, she has to get better! treatment is getting better all the time. i have hope!
i decided that im going to do the race for life with my mum. we just want to raise as much as we can so they can do more research n find a cure. or even just be able to manage it. as long as people can live n not be so poorly then this race will be worth it! we shall, however be walking n do realise that we probably wont move for days after. but our husbands realise that n are happy to look after us. bless them! we might be crawling towards the end!! my mum has had 4 ops on her knee n each one just made it worse n she really will suffer from pain. but we are determined to finish the race. she has seen what cancer does since she was 9 years old n lost her mum at 10 years old. then her dad. then me, surviving it.
i dont know if im allowed to show our just giving pages, can somebody let me know?? obviously, all help is much appreciated.
