Peace be her journey ,

Hi , All the very best for your surgery . My mum had 73% of her liver removed . She was told the same information as you . She pressed forward . I said goodbye to her the day before her operation as though it was any other day . I gave her a little wave . She left a little folded guest towel on her ...

Hi , I will let you read my signature relating to my mum. I thought it might encourage you to know that pre chemo her lymph nodes were large and reactionary around the Colon tumour . A very significant secondary spread had set up camp in her liver . Post chemo there was no evidence on the scan of ly...

Always pleased to read your mum's news. Great to hear she is up to tricks too.
Take care,
Stu

That was quite something to do that for your mum. I have tried my best to look after my mum for the last eight years . When I read your post every part of me thought " Nope ... never... thank goodness my sister is a nurse"
Well done you,
Stu

Hi, Your friend is sincerely wrong given everyone is different and even the Dr can only give a statistical average . My mum had a lung met and the watched it grow slowly for the best part of two years before we even knew about it . It was so slow growing . There are many treatment options and certai...

That's a very fitting tribute. I think it would have pleased him . Still going to need a little help with my photos. But that's what teenage sons are for!! I love my garden but feel a little garden envy at the space you have. You have a lovely garden . I bought my house as it has a little burn runni...

Hi , My mum never did post surgery chemo but she was significantly older . Despite not having had chemo since 2010 she has done not too badly . The only reason I am writing , apart from to wish her all the very best, if it becomes to much for her then I hope my mum's story will reassure her that it ...

Hi , Welcome to the forum . I am trying to get a handle on your story . Despite your reservation with Doctors you did feel comfortable enough to use that mechanism to assist with diagnosis? Maybe cautious with any form of treatment? I am married to a doctor but despite that feel if you are making an...

Yippee. Delighted you have your freedom back .
Enjoy.

Hi , Welcome to the board. I will leave others to discuss with you the best way to handle the oncologist as I am not from your area . However initially we felt as though the oncologist steam rolled over my mum with his approach . It seemed without compassion or advocacy on her behalf . With time tha...

It's a sad week on the boards. Peace be her journey. Love to her family.
Stu

Enjoy every moment.

I always thought he would keep defying the odds . I will miss him greatly and I have learnt so much from him .

My mum oddly has had both. Her liver tumours popped up quickly and grew quickly. One recurrence was immediate and sizeable . However it was the speed and rate of cell division that made them disappear just as quickly with chemo . Then quick removal with surgery before they could do any move harm . H...
