Hi Roz / Min

Pat died unexpectedly too. I called an ambulance for him one night as he developed a chest pain and he ended up in A & E for 11 hrs as there was not a bed available for him on the haem ward. His chest pain went away but he had taken morphine for the pain which he had not had for a while due to kidney failure earlier on. The…[Read more]

Hi Min,

I didn't find returning home anymore difficult than any other time I walk through the front door and Patrick is not there to talk to.

Just days before he died, Pat told me that he would never leave me, he said he would always be there whispering in my ear and watching over me. I take great comfort in this and speak to him all the…[Read more]

Good Luck Dai and thanks for representing us all Gillxxx

Hi Sarah

Sorry to be late into this thread. My husband was diagnosed at 53 in Nov 2008 One of the chemo nurses told us to apply for a blue badge straight away as anybody receiving chemotherapy was entitled to be considered. Stephen was also told to fill out the form as if it were his worst day.

The nurse (bless her) said that you don't get…[Read more]

Hi All,

Just back from my two week hols in the Red Sea. Intended to scuba dive but learnt to windsurf instead, something I will be taking up in the UK from next March. I did get weepy as this was the first holiday I have had without Patrick and missed him so much. He would have been amused though as I can often get gung ho about sports and this…[Read more]

PS Poopie is getting the hang of pooing/peeing in the right place. We have realised that we were very lucky with Echo (same breed now 3) She was spotless. She would not use the poopie mat twice but would go right next to it if we had not noticed she…[Read more]

Welcome Home

One tip forget the clippers shave the whole lot. When Stephen (mm husband)clipped his hair very short it meant that the bits that fell out (it all does) were sharp and prickly and stuck in his face during the night.

Strange thing was that when his hair grew back it grew in the opposite direction. Before the chemo his hair grew…[Read more]

So pleased to hear that Cecilia is receiving less difficult/painful treatment. I hope she is doing well

Gill

A welcome from me too. My husband had his first SCT in 2008. He was one of the lucky ones in that, apart from the loo trot on a regulat basis, he got through it unscathed.

The neutropenic (sp) diet did not cause a problem as he did lose his appetite and even the special menu in Kings College Hospital was foul. Great staff, wonderful treatment…[Read more]
