Hi Dai!,

For some bizarre reason I hadn't fully read your kind,informative,interesting and completely motivating response to my post! Apologies for delay in my delay!Really don't know what to say regarding all this info!. I know for sure I'll be printing off and sharing with mum who unfortunately now has a clot in her leg therefore SCT's been delayed….

Really hope you're going to be at the Infoday on Saturday as would love to meet you!

Thanks again

Hello Eve,

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, I thought this was going to be a really lonely road until I signed up to the site.

I know what you mean about not burdening the kids but that in itself can be difficult especially if they're close to the person…

I need to pluck up the courage to read all the positive experiences on the site instead of thinking the worst without any info!

Many thanks again Eve to you and all the other kind, funny and inspirational people on here

Hi Debs,
How you doing?, hope things are o.k and you're feeling good?. Have been meaning to respond but have not had the chance to take the time to reply to the kind messages.

Hope you won't mind me emailing you-but I will! not expecting you to have all the answers but at least point me in the right direction!

Hello Mavis,
Many thanks for your reply to my original post, apologies in delay in my response!,

I did take on board what you said in your reply and some of the things you said echoed some of my anxieties. I called the hospital and spoke to the specialist nurse who I felt was rather defensive but I'm not sure if it's because of my profession that I felt particularly sensitive?.

I asked if mum had been given all info as well as other procedures that could be considered. I was told in no uncertain terms they would not have gone 'blindly' into this decision and basically mum has capacity in her choice!……HELP!

I feel that i'm struggling to hold things together but unsure if I'm over-reacting to the SCT?

Will really appreciate your honest comments!

On a positive note we're going on a family holiday next week although haven't yet found an insurance comp.

Hope things are ok with your mum?

Apolgies for the delay in my reply!,

Thanks so much for your reply, really does feel like there's a whole different world out there and and I'm just getting to grips with it!.

Since my last post we've decided to go on a holiday before mum starts her treatment, must say am really looking forward to spending time with her and my daughter but haven't yet been able to find an insurance co. for her. Have you any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Debs,

Thanks for your reply, it was really encouraging. I guess I,ve found it hard to discuss with mum as I've wanted to her to see me as being 'strong' and not scared-silly I know!. I've thought if I go to pieces I won't be any use to her so it's been a bit of a vicious circle really:-/ .

I must admit since reading many of the positive posts and experiences on here has given me the confidence in talking to her about the SCT.

Hearing your experience of the process has made me think of things such as sucking ice and having your naps. I'll have to remind her of this and the need to take it easy!.

How are you feeling now Debs and are you glad you had it done?, were you on any other treatment prior to this and was it your first choice?

Sorry for asking so many questions!

Hi Tom,
Many thanks in replying to my post, it made me smile to hear you referring to the 'bloke thing'-guess some things never change whatever the situ!.

Mum's treatment has been CDT so far but she's now only on the DT (if that makes sense).

I'll definately take on board what you say about taking one day at a time and I appreciate everyone's different but I guess I just don't know what to expect and what questions I should be asking.

Great to hear you had yours back in Dec 09 and you're doing fine 😀

Will keep you posted and will certainly be checking in regularly 🙂
