In case anyone is interested my daughter goes on a very good cancer support site which, although for breast cancer covers all cancers sometimes. Give it a try.

THANKS ANN, HOPE YOU ARE BOTH OK, AND YOU HAD A NICE HOLIDAY YOU DESERVED IT, WHAT WAS THE WEATHER LIKE X

Still here Puss, misty, cold but a break.

ENJOY THE REST OF IT XXXXX :-D

There, it is all over now! But you will be anxious with every passing twinge for a fair time. Hope the rest of the treatment goes well.

thanks jean, im still a little sore bit feeling relieved its done x :-D

Hi Puss sorry but I had a computer crash 9 days ago and have had to get a new one. This is a laptop and it is differant from my very old ex computer. Glad everything went ok for you, take time and recover now, it's not only the op but the stress of waiting for it and worrying what they'll find that pulls you down. <3 <3 <3 <3

yes elaine the stress was far worse, i just felty really low for ages, but i actually cried in the anesthetic with relief, only seconds but felt like minutes, everyone has noticed a change in mood, so how are you and your husband xxx

Hi Puss.
Happy to hear that you are doing well.
Hubby has been back in hospital, It was our local hospital and to be honest they were useless. Did not have a clue. He came home on Saturday. We have an appointment tomorrow at Velindre ( cancer hospital) so not sure what will happen because hubby is back to the start with vomiting again. On top of that my Mum was rushed into hospital on Sunday morning and is currently on a ventilator in intensive care. The doctors are not sure what is wrong with her so waiting for different results to come back which will hopefully tell us more.
Really not sure just how much more heartache is going to be thown at me. :-(

DEAr ALYSON IM SO SORRY, YOUR STRONG AND AMAZING AND YOU WILL GET THROGH THIS, JUST MAKE SURE YOU EAT AND REST EVEN IF YOU DONT FEEL LOIKE IT YOU REALLY DO NEED ENERGY FROM FOOD

IT DOES ALL SEEM TO COME TOGETHER, HOW MUCH LONGER HAS OH GOT LEFT FOR TREATMENT

IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE BIOPSY I HAD LAST WEEK IS ABNORMAL, I GUESSED ONE WOULD BE BY THE SYMTOMS I HAD, DONT KNOW YET WHAT WILL HAPPEN BUT WILL SEE BEFORE I MAKE ANY DECISSIONS

ALYSON WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW YOU CAM PM OR RING ME ANYTIME OK, DONT TAKE ALL OF THIS ALONE, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MUM XXXXX

Things don't change Puss.Yesterday we lost our springer Merlin and I had been ill all weekend too. On a brighter note I'm off to Italy a week on Saturday, got chiropodists tomorrow and hospital Thursday, got to be fit for hols, I don't mind working when ill but it's a no no on holiday. :-( but going to be :-D

gawd elaine im so sorry you must be heart broken.

keep positive for your hols too

i didnt get anything id planned to do today, i was in and out of the bath to ease pain, as morph wouldnt work, he is putting me on patches next week, the hot water worked well, but the last dip i fell asleep and thought better get out .

i should start getting better sleep soon, the hospital are getting me on a pap? machine, sleep apneo has got worse, specky lies there holding his breath till i let mine out lol, write im supposed to be going to bed , son just phoned OH has to go round and take a pan of the cooker with eggs in omg the smell will be awfull xx :-0

Hi Puss.
Sorry to hear that the one biopsy result has come back abnormal. It is you that is the strong amazing one and you will be OK.
Hubby has finished his treatment but it is the next few weeks that will make him more ill because the treatment is still working. In about 6 weeks time he will have a PET scan to see if there is cancer still there. We went to the hospital this morning and the doctor was not happy that hubby has lost another 2.2kg in a week. They would have prefered it if hubby had been admitted as he needs to sort out the feed and vomiting. They totally understood what is happening with my Mum therefore did not push it for hubby to stay in. Instead they went through different options and feeding regimes for hubby to try at home. They also added new medications ( like a pharmacy here). If there is no improvement by Friday i have to phone the hospital and arrange for hubby to go down and see the doctor.
My Mum is still on a ventilator but is stable. They have now ruled out pneumonia but are still awaiting test results. The doctors are going to try and lift her sedation tomorrow and try her without the ventilator to see how she copes.
Thankyou for all your support. I am so so grateful.
Alyson xx

removed is cancerous but the surrounding tissue is normal in apearence, so im a very lucky lady.

It appears some sail through life without so much as a headache and in my opinion and through no fault are the least understanding, because how could they be

i really think you have to walk that persons walk to either care or understand.

my mum moans constantly and would never put herself out even slightly but expects everyone else too, she has lost 2 husbands in 30yrs so i can only sympathise, as i havent.

well i await further insructions for treatment i think its tablets and i go back in a couple of weeks.

they were suspicious as the size of the polyp was very large, it has a stalk like apearence with a flat head apparently.

im going to potter in the garden for a while will pop in and out. x

As long as the surrounding tissue is normal it sounds as if it hasn't spread. But they will tell you if it has and what the treatment is. Just stay positive and eat a healthy diet.

Puss,I'm sure you will be OK...stay positive,seems as though you caught it in time.
If it's any consolation,I had cancer of the salivary gland 64 years ago and it came back 61 years ago,,long before radio therapy and chemo .
I had radium needles.
My mother was told that I never had to work hard....what a joke!!
I believe so much in the power of the mind.I am living proof that it works!
Thinking of you.

Hi Puss.
Only just reading this. I am so so glad that it has not spread and they took the beggar out. Fingers ( and toes) crossed that all will now be well.
You are such a strong person and always there for anyone that needs support. Truly one of lifes angels <3.
Take Care.

i can understand about the results too

You will feel tired for a while, but good that you feel better. Hope all others with problems come through with flying colours. Velindre cancer hospital is one of the best in the UK.
