I was diagnosed with Cancer in March and although we knew it was Cancer its still a shock to be told it. I have had 2 chemo cycles now and have my 3rd at the end of the month. I would love to chat about the chemo side affects to anyone..
I'm horrible fine, feel guilty that you were worried but had router probelms!
Sorry to hear your all still having a hard time though Dot is nearly there. Eileen no more hospital i just won't allow it!
I've finished treatment without any of the problems I had last time (yea!), started decreasing my steroids so energy not brill but its the only way I will beat the mouth trush, so I'm doing what I can and sitting around for the rest!!!!!!!! Had Onc app last Fri and he was pleased, apparently Ca125 is the lowest its ever been (not that it ever goes very high!) which he seemed to think was good though I thought it didn't make any difference providing it was well down. Feel really well, like I've loads of energy and could run a marathon (never could before so highly unlikely now!) until I try and do something then after about an hour have had enough, not sure if it helps being retired as no reason to push, have noticed I can manage when I have to
Fingers crossed for you all, hang in there Eileen and Dot not much longer till your treatments done. Harlie (spelling sorry) hope your treatment works as well as last time and I can see no good reason why it won't.
Keep up the positivity ladies I'm convinced it adds benefits to the treatment
I was so worried about you. Great news on CA125 count being so low.
I am starting with the nerve endings in my spine shooting pains then under the breast bone.I had it before on one of the last lot of chemo. At least we all know what to expect though and also that it will pass.
Oh ladies can I have your address's for a Christamas card. Not sure about putting it on here but Dot & Jackie you have my email. Rose I will send you mine...I am looking forward to this Christmas and I hope you all are...
Glad you are back on site as well, you are such a trooper and you don't even realise how you can brighten people up. I hope everything is going ok for you and your family can have a lovely Christmas and New Year. I can't wait for this year to be finished with.
Will try and figure out how to forward my email to you ....
If we go onto Private message we can talk without anyone seeing the message so that could be good.When we feel better and the weather is warmer we can meet up in carmarthen for a cuppa!!
Well girls I have had an exciting weekend.As you know I have had a problem with breathing and chest pains lately and was due to see the heart specialist next week.Thursday night I felt grotty and every time I stood up I vomited so 8.30 my husband rang our GP for a home visit .He came out at 9 andmy blood pressure was 150/50 so he rang an ambulance and the hospital and i was blue lighted(soooo exciting)to hospital I did ask if I could drive but the ambulanceman said his blood pressure would end up like mine if I did!!! Straight into procedure room where 2 doctors and 2 nurses were waiting and I watched on the scanner as a Needle was inserted into the pericardium and 950 ml of fluid drained and my heart which was 1/3 size gradually filled back to normal.How can 1 litre of fluid build up like that ?
On the ward and eating tea by 4pm and out on Monday feeling much better.I love the NHS !!!!
Hope you are all getting there and Dot you should pick up soon(dont know why we say that,youre not a hoover or a bin man)
Jackie,how are the eyes,it sounds minor but i know how very annoying it can be.
Will meet up in the new year Eileen when we both feel better and it is warm/
only you could find such a scary thing so amusing, you wanted to drive!! lol, I am so happy that you were treated so quickly and feeling a lot better. You really are a tonic for me, I have you in my thoughts and wish all the best for you.
I had my last chemo Friday just gone, I then picked up a nasty cold which I am just about done with now lol. I am in good spirits and just want to enjoy being with the family at christmas, my favourite time of year. I do actually feel like a bin man, picking up things as I go along, but I am really very grateful as my side effects have been a lot less than others.
Jackie and Eileen hope you are keeping well too and any of our other friends out there.
just had to type i read your posts all the time to so many peolple and your sence of humour is amazing i was actually chuckling reading the last post by you. I hope you continue to get better and have a great christmas (inspite of this dreaded disease)
