Hi polly don't worry you can't say anything to offend me I've thick skin I've been married for over 45 years got married at 22 after chasing after her for two years she's nearly 14 years older than me so I had to be very persuasive, ask anything you like i don't mind, that's what I'm here for, I like talking to others try to help and relax them, best wishes...

Hi polly, 

I have my appointment with the haemotologist on Wednesday as I've had problems with my underarm lymph node for almost 2 months now. 

Back and forth with blood tests and x rays. Currently being treated for anaemia in the meantime. A potential infection showed in my x ray, so I have to have a 2nd course of antibiotics, the first lot didn't do anything. Doctor isn't really sure what she's treating hence the referral.

Like you, I'm a nervous wreck about it. I wasn't expecting the referall either, it was a complete surprise. It came the day after A&E sent me home for wasting their time with chest pain. 

Good luck and please feel free to chat. X

Sorry you've had a bad night, I'm going to gloat now...I had 8 hrs last night!!!! Yippee!!!!! That's pretty rare for me, but boy does it make a difference! I wish I knew the reason why, then I would bottle it and make a fortune.....it doesn't mean Tonight will be the same but for today I will rejoice...

out of interest polly, do you have the calm app? Sometimes it works for me....there's loads of sleep stories on there, and the story tellers have the most wonderful sleepy voices......xxxx

Hi marlyn haven't spoken for a while I always thought you were a good sleeper, you certainly snore plenty or is it hubby,  I normally get about four hours what with bren wanting to go then Bella then me, then the snoring both of them early morning I go into living room for some quiet trouble is i can here them though the monitor even with volume down, mind you I've got used hours now if I try to sleep longer I can't hope you are feeling better now treatment finished (nearly) hope to hear from you soon. Love... Billy 

Bless ya Polly,

Im new to this site too but I feel like I've been here years, everyone is so blooming lovely!

Ive had the camera down ya throat thing as well...thought I had a stomach ulcer but ended up being Oesophagitis. 

The staff that performed the procedure were incredible. Doesn't take long to be honest and my throat didn't hurt at all after.

Going into hospital for anything isn't on anyone's bucket list, so I'm feeling you 100%

Please don't get too stressed Hunny...I know it's horrible for you right now. 

Sending hugs x
