  • Hi rose, not long got back from hospital went to veiw my ct scan and see if i could have surgery to remove whats showing on my right side.

    but the hospital are saying no because of the risks and after affects so my oncolagist is sending my scan to another hospital for a second oppinion

    then its up to me if i wont the op if theyl do it its six of one n halfa dozen of the other!.

    because of the after affects thats been explained i really dont no what to do. i got the impression my doc would rather i had surgery

    then just chemo.i feel really lost and down today.

    big hugs to everyone julygirl58[sharon] xxxxx

  • Hi everyone hope things are going good for you all.

    Annie that is fantastic news, I am so glad that you haven't got that worry anymore............woooohoooo celebrations tonight.

    You take care

    I just got back from chemo, the low dose was great, much quicker than usual, but didn't seem to improve the time I was there lol, lots of hanging around, got back at 5.30.......I left the house this morning at 9am lol but I feel great.

    Love to all xxxxxxxxxxx

  • Big hugs Sharon, it must be confusing for you, not knowing what to do, maybe when the second opinion comes back it may help you make the decision, I found that although I was given options, they did suggest what they thought would be the best way to go.

    Try not to worry and I know that is really hard, hopefully you will feel more positive once a decision has been made.

    My thoughts are with you

    Love Dot xxxxxxxxx

  • It is lovely to hear news like this !!I am soooooooooooooooo glad for you . A jelly filled cyst ? If you make some blancmange you might feel a trifle better (sorry !!) All the luck in the world to you Anne,thank goodness all that worry is over,please keep letting us know how you are Rose xxx

  • Hi ladies

    Annie thats brillent news get u out there and celebrate!

    Sharon thats not so good. Can you give any more details - talk us though it - it may just help clarify things in your own mind to, have you previously had surgery? no pressure if you don't want to go into detail then don't. As the days pass and you mull over what you were told things may become clearer or not, it would probably be helpful if you jot down any questions which come up so you can discuss these during the second opinion. As Dot says they usually advise you which option to go for and if they don't you can ask them which they would choose.

    Dot, glad the reduced dose has left you feeling good, hope it continues and you can enjoy all the time between treatments!

    As for me feeling ok now but cannot shake this cold, bored with it now but at least I don't feel bad with it so shouldn't complain.

    Love to all

  • Hi jackie, to cut a long story short had ct scan july 12th called back aug.something was showing on the scan asked surgeon to veiw it for op.

    they have said no now my oncoligist wants me to haveanother ct scan and she wnts a second

    oppinion you confused yet cause i am!! but shes told me surgery could leave me with more problems so what am i ment to do? i thinks she prefers that i have surgery instead of just chemo again.
