Drank warm lemonade and slept with socks on and gloves, used gloves on the ipad as ell. i Have...

We just had this disucssing on another topic, abiut keeping feeling ill a secret. Your husband knows something is wrong. Tell him your worries and you will be able to talk about the chances, and thepossibilities of an earlier colonscopy and about the possibility of it being what you fear. It will le...

Only three rounds to go. Are your blood values ok? Is it possible to take an extra week in between? I did because of low platelets and it made a world of difference. We went away to a hotel for a few nights and came back refreshed, although still tired. Is giving you husband a break an option, so so...

I'm going to consider myself cured then, since I had 6 of those abcesses drained last year!!! A good onc has personal interest but knows wheree to draw the line. He/she judges a patient on individual basis on what to tell them and in what way. He/ she is encouraging and open to supportive treatments...

Good for you, now you both have a place to vent, to eachother, and although these coming days will be spend in anguish and fright, shared being scared shit-less is half scared shitless. ( although just wait until the colonscopy prep start :? ) Will cross fingers for you all turns out well and you ca...

Hi Michelle, We've been there exactly one year ago, as you can see from my signature, it wasn't an easy ride. It's nit easy but do try and stay of docter google, or if you must, only visit the sites that are mentioned here, or on a reputable cancer charity/ hospital. There is so much nonsense out th...

Hi, Welcome to ths place nobody wants to be. Amazing bunch of people who can help you Loads. I'm from the Netherlands but have lived in Aberdeen for a bit, wheabouts are you based in Scotland?

Hiya, Sorry to be a party pooper, but I went in on november 12 for an open sigmoid colectomy and came out on christmas day. However I had a HIPEC since they were afraid the tumor had broken through the colon and soread it's joy in the form of abdominal meds. If there is a treat of this in your case,...

I had my port removed a monthnafter my chemo was finished, as my onc said it was prone to infection. The surgeon who removed it assured me I could have another one put in if required, ( sure hope not) I'm glad it's out, makes me less bionic woman :lol: Congrats on finishing and happy rcovery!!! Anne...

Hi, Good for you on taking action! It might be nothing, then, it might be something, and then it will be quite something. My advice, go tell your wife now, it's easier to tell y think you might have cancer then to tell someone you kove you have cancer. And she will be able to take some of the worry ...

Hi Brent, This sucks in all sort of ways, mate! It's going to be a long ride, and not a sprint but a marathon, although see below.. i so hate running...This forum and people proved so helpful, they are the best, and there's a few more on facebook as well. Draw your own line, it's your body, have sec...
