Hey Hon - me had cancer removed - hadn't spread into. Lymph nodes thankfully , about to start 3 weeks of radiptherapy , I am also very down & scared - want the treatment done but think I'm in some kind of shock - hate being in hospital - but at same time they are amazing..hang in there x

Hi everyone, just had two days in hospital after temperature went through the roof on Tuesday. It was a unidentified infection but after constant drip of antib's got released at 6 last night. The 't' is a bit of a b......., as I have really sore bones and incredibly hurt feet, sore heels which feel blistered. Honestly there is not a part of me which hasn't been affected by this, I must have every bad reaction there is! Anyway, onwards and upwards, only two to go! They are lessening the dose next time to try and avoid the effects.  Now i am in full spate on the moaning front, it would help to get a bit of support from husband and family instead of having to do everything myself, including limping to the docs this am to rearrange district nurses while the rest sat and watched, but that's life, I suppose.  Moan finished!

i had to get a taxi home last night, and had an Indian driver who informed me that had I not had chemo, he would have recommended high fibre raw veg, which would sort the cancer out just like that. I told him I hadn't realised that to avoid lymphodema, blood clots, breast infections, bone pains and sore feet all I had to do was munch on a carrot!  Wonder why he went quiet? Lol.

hope you all good, best wishes love Margaret xx

Oh my heart goes out to you my Lovely. Stay brave-,easier said  than done but love sent your way xx

Thank you Mellymoo, a bit of support from friends on here goes such a long way. I guess we all get our down days, but hopefully this time next year we are all going to be good. Love and best wishes to you, hugs Margaret xx

Hang in there Loveley xxxxx

Hi Margaret, if anyone deserves a moan it's you for sure, you poor thing. You've had anything and everything going throughout this whole "fun" time and it's hard when family & friends don't get how difficult it is for you. If only it was as easy as munching on a carrot!Take care and am sending lots of hugs... Sue xx

Hi Margaret

How are you today?  I had chemo 5 on Thursday and it hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday, spent most of the day in bed aching and feeling sorry for myself.  The T part is a bit of a b****** but onwards an upwards!  It's now 12 noon and after dosing up on painkillers I've managed to get out of bed have a shower and get dressed - didn't want another onesie day!!

My husband is back at work today he only has chemo days off with me - I can't do with him sitting around feeling sorry for me.  He was busy yesterday tidying the garden (I can see where he's been) and he's been trying to finish decorating the lounge bless him, but there's still more glossing to be done.  I feel like I'm constantly nagging at him to remember to do this and do that but I just want things to go back to normal.

That's my moan over for today, hope everyone else is doing okay.

Take care all
Tracey xx

Hi all,

just returned home from a couple of nights in hospital. Temp fluctuated like mad. Unknown infection but a result of the 'T'! Oh dear and I've another two of those to go! Was told by the Oncologist that most people find the T part more challenging. Still, there's only two to go so let's just hang on in here! Wish it was next Easter though! Xxxx

Hi,

I remember being at this stage, and having to have 4 days in hospital due to infection.  I remember feeling very scared,and wanting it all over, but as you say only 2 more to go.  Probably you have radioterapy next, I found this no trouble at all.  I had to travel 15 miles to the hospital, and after the radiotherapy I did something I enjoyed, like a meal out, shopping or coffee with a friend, this made it easier.

I look back now after three years, my hair shoulder length, and feeling very well, and thank God for life.  I enjoy my four gradchildren so much, and even enjoy work.  I make the most of every day, and think whatever happens I will make the best of it.  I think this is one of positives to cancer, it makes you rethink life.   

Hope you feel better soon.
