Hi Eve great news it always feels better when things get moving. Is Slim close to making a decision yet ? It is a scary decision to have to make but the benefits could be immense if all goes well , that just makes it harder to decide though. If you do drive into London there are disabled parking bays dotted around all over the place which you…[Read more]

Hi Alan sorry you didnt get enough cells today try not to worry though the little blighters will be fighting to get out by Wednesday!! I had a similiar situation , the first two days I hardly produced any but on the last day they got more than enough Good luck Bridget

Hi Dave welcome sorry but I havent got any useful information for you about second scts at your age It seems each hospital has its own protocol and cut off point. If your pps are rising slowly and there are no other symptoms then maybe the drugs available now would be a safer option Good luck in making your decision Bridget

Hi Sylvia good to hear from you but sorry you are back on treatment Eloquent seems an unusual name for a trial made me chuckle! When I was on Rev and Dex the fatigue was a bit overwheming but you do get used to it Constipation can also be a problem , my docs reccommended using 3 different types of laxatives regularly eg Movicol , Senna and…[Read more]

Hi Cinzia poor you sickness is really horrible . I have founf Odansetron to be the best ant-sickness meds , it can be given as IV before your chemo Have a chat with the nurses I am sure they can come up with something love Bridget x

Hi Terry it seems wrong in this age of wireless technology that wifi access isnt available especially when you are stuck in hospital. If your home broadband is with BT they have wifi access all over the place and its free , you can download a map to see which is the nearest London has loads Good luck on the 5th you will be home before you know…[Read more]

Nice to see you at last Mavis, five loarge dogs in the countryside is not difficult as there are no leads and most of them are well behaved and non of them is under 7yrs old. Its mostly about letting them see who is in charge of the pack. In my cse that means my 7yr old yellow lab as she is on the ball.
It was rather funny as all the others…[Read more]

I notice that you still struggle to keep his weight up. Never mind about…[Read more]

Dear Dai
P3 or Not P3 that is the question!
I know its not easy but you need the P to be super concentrated so try and drink less so what you do produce is more toxic. so to speak. Then after 24 hrs you can go back to your normal x litres a day. forgot already what it should be.
Hope its how you want it when you do manage to produce but…[Read more]

Rub copious…[Read more]
