Hi Gill and everyone.
I had viewed this video some weeks ago before Peter had his chemo, and for that reason I was aware of the problems re temperatures etc.
His circumstances were a little different as he went to hospital for 2 bags of blood on Saturday morning. I had always gone with him before but he had had a temperature all night and…[Read more]

Good Morning Eveeryone Well I have returned from the land of the living dead!! Ok it was only a flu type bug– but I get no sympathy here as Jeff has man-flu and toothhache and evryone knows that is the worst thing ever! The good news is I have a radiotherapy appointment for next Wednesday which is brilliant !! I wasnt sure it would be possible…[Read more]

Sarah
Im so sorry to hear your going through all this when you could well do without it.
I hope you cope with these problems, in doing so it may take you mind temporarily off the tragedy you have just had.
In other circumstances you would have no doubt dealt with the issues very profesionaly, but Your patients is being sorely tied at the…[Read more]

Hi Gill sorry but Imissed this post yesterday dont know how!! Tell Stephen I know exactly how he feels as Ihad the same thing for over a year before I diagnosed!! Steroids and surgery got rid of mine but not before it took 3 vertebrae with it!! I should be having my RT next week too so fingers crossed we will both be if not pain -free at least…[Read more]

Dear Gina your poor mum must be longing to get rid of whatever is making her feel so dreadful . I am surprised they have not admitted her , or would she not want that. It soeems a long time to have to wait 2 weeks before you see the consultant I think if I were in your shoes I would get hold of the specialist nurse and ask all the questions that…[Read more]

Hi Eve regarding the results following treatment as in Slims case and doctors wanting to wait until the end before doing bone marrow or is it a scan they are going to do? Often the results from these drugs take time to settle so rather than testing several times they prefer to give it time to level out As it is only a few weeks its unlikely to do…[Read more]

Dear Sarah it really doesnt seem fair for you to go through so much I think I understand what you mean when you say your father gave up on hearing of Gordon passing ,when I was first diagnosed and very ill my lovely strong mum changed into a frail old lady instantly Its like she wont put any energy into caring for herself instead she frets over…[Read more]

Dear Dai,
I was upstairs preparing Peters uniform for his funeral and you came into my mind. I was a little upset that we had not heard from you and worried that you were still an inpatient.
You must have read my mind, as I came downstairs to turn of the 'Apple' which was playing Peters favourite Louis Armstrong . We have all the time in the…[Read more]

Hi Jean thank you for that one! My word is — ULTIMATELY The next letters are— ELY love Bridget xxxx

Hi John good to hear Cecilia is doing well please pass on my best wishes. There is nothing worse or more painful than people digging around in your arm trying to find a suitable vein !! We have to put up with enough without that too. Ask about a PICC line they are brilliant! They work on the same principle as hickman lines but completely under…[Read more]
