Picking up the pieces Picking up the pieces For the past few days I`ve been working on coming to terms with this whole thing and in some ways I think I`m managing. This coming week`s going to be a busy one starting tomorrow with a ct scan to see exactly how this tumour is so that they can plan...

That`s nice to see how many people care for me. In general I feel fine except for the annoying cough which according to the doctor is caused by the tumour, something to do with the nerve causing an irritation but it should disappear with radio therapy. I ended up not being able to get the last...

Dear VR friends, I`m still gutted witht he news I got only 2 days ago during a doctor`s visit to discuss my radio therapy treatment. To cut a long story short, the onchologist started by saying that there`s no guarantees that it will work and that it will definitely cause some permanent damage...

I can`t stand this caugh! I can`t stand this caugh! Thank you folks! But does anyone have any idea of what could be giving me such an annoying cough though? That`s kind of spoiling things for me as it`s there on and off. I get that tickle in my chest and start caughing, specially if I`m...

A pesistant chesty cough A pesistant chesty cough So nice to see so many posts of encouragement. I got a letter through the post this morning with an appointment for me to goa nd see the oncologist this Wednesday and I`ve also got a CT scan of my chest and abdomen scheduled for the 16th of...

Hi there everyone. Sorry I haven`t written for a while but there is a lot happening at the moment. That`s me just out of hospital because of an infection. I had to spend 2 weeks taking IV antibiotics and I was very weak because everything in my blood was messed up as a result of the 3 cicles of...

I`m sure that your prayers will make a difference as Bruna and Stephanie`s family try to cope with this loss. My mum said that Bruna was very upset when she got back from the funeral yesterday but she`s already beginning to find her own way of dealing with her emotions. She asked to sleep with...

Just back from the doctor`s Just back from the doctor`s First of all, thank you so much for being here for me and help me get through this whole thing. I went to the hospital this morning to get my blood checked before I go in for my booster on Friday and Dr. Dunn has given me more details on...

Hi there folks, to all of you who have known me for quite sometime and know my whole life story, Bruna, my daughter, has a wee sister called Stephanie Maria who is now in need of prayers. She`s coming up for 2 and has dawn syndrome. Anyway, she`s recently had pneumonia and she`s also getting...

Hi there! Remember how I was waiting on this CT scan result to find out how things are progressing? Well, fortunately I seem to be responding well to the chemo as my tumour has shrunk considerably since I started the treatment. I`ve started my 3rd cicle on Friday and after the 4th they`ll do...

It makes sense It makes sense Thanks Pamela. So, do you have any idea as to why I feel better as soon as I stand up and start moving around? Another thing is that I can no longer sit up with my back against anything at al as it feels like something`s being squashed. It`s actually chemo I`ll be...

Getting desperate Getting desperate Hi everyone. My symptoms are getting worse and I don`t know what`s what anymore, I mean, I get extremmely breathless when I go to bed and I don`t even try to lie down anymore. Sitting on the couch to watch TV is the same. I haven`t had a decent night`s sleep...
