| I just want to let you know that my husband fell ill and is in hospital. So I wanted to say I am still around but not much at home and although they say there is no cancer, I guess it could be back somewhere hiding as we dont know whats wrong! He had a severe headaches for sometime, pain in back and neck, they gave him a head scan it came back clear! We thought perhaps its the last bits of chemo comming out of the body or the stress. Anyhow he has been getting worse over the last week where he doesnt want to eat coz the pain is unbearable. He finds it difficult to get up. Well our Oncologist has been away but he is good Doc and he is back seeing my husband today. So for all of you good people struggerly, God Bless you. I am off to the hospital for another day and will update when i have some news. Pjb, thanks, i will go on site and chat to Dr. West when i get time tonight i hope? |

Ohhhh I am so sorry your husband is back in the hospital  . I hope they find out soon what has caused his condition to deteriorate so much. As always, you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.

| I will be thinking of you both. I do hope they track something simple at the root of this. |

| What a day, the oncologist told my husband that the xrays that were took a few days ago looks good. So of course i missed the Oncologist whilst sitting in traffic. Later I found out they think the cancer is in the fluid, they arrived with the needle and gave my poor agonised husband a lumber pucture and took the fluid for testing. Later the Neurologist passed explaining they think its there which would be in the fluid around the head which would cause great pain. They have upped medicatments so hopefully he will sleep tonight. Oh dear, what a hell tearful ride this is. I am exhausted and my mind is numb, they said 15 days for results of the test. Oh boy this is going to feel like a ten year wait hoping they got all this wrong and it is just a simple BUG! Thanks for your post. |

Hi Koik,
Well -- at least you know what you'll be doing for the next 15 days!  (Sorry, trying humor to break the stress.) My highest hopes that this will be something unrelated to the cancer, but we'll all be here to hold your hand during the upcoming days.
Breathe deep and try to stay calm. It's going to be rough going for the wait.
Hugs,
PBJ

| PJB, Thanks for the sense of humour! Well, look on the bright side of life , the sun here is shining thats got to be a blessing after yesterday. I am feeling beter today as i have just spoken to him and his headache is a little less but the back is hell. I think knowing he's in good hands helps. Dont we have that dreaded cancer too, when they suffer, we feel it and there is not much we can do but stand back for that good old medical team to find the prognosis. Then there' that pit at the bottom of the stomach, dont we all know that one! Now, I'm waiting for for the Whhhhhew it okay. So Im off to pratice my French on the medical team now and see how i can confuse them rather than they confuse me! (I think i am getting quiet a smart a.. at this language) Have a good day/night where ever u are! |
