Stop the nonsense. The end, certainly not.
You are much stronger than you think Dreamy.
Catch you later.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Technology has moved on since you last had cancer. A proton therapy centre should be opening in the next few months. When do they let you know the results of the biopsy?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

It should be today or tomorrow-they're hoping it's Hodgkin's lymphoma once more.

I got told that if I stopped all treatment and went home, just didn't bother anymore, I'd have perhaps weeks to live; if I work with them, then possibly years.

Got a face time call from a friend in Oklahoma City this morning, though, and it really cheered me up.

I also visited the Maggis centre part of the hospital which works with positive mental health training - they were all nurses before or other health professionals who now help with positive thinking (which is where I come unstuck - I flip from one thing to another).

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Listen that's their opinion based on the current state of play. Bear in mind that cancer treatments are progressing in leaps and bounds. So it's a case of hang in there and the treatment that helps should come along.

It's great your friend had a positive impact. It is no good being isolated as you are. Too much time to worry.

What are you having for lunch.?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Just had it - fish, chips and peas, apple tart with custard.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Bless you, Annie, you tell him girl.
Dreamy we are all here to help.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I'm jealous of the yummy lunch! At least the food is decent. Sounds like a very good hospital.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

The food is indeed good; they make it all from scratch.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Hmmmm - you might need that wheel-chair to wheel you out of there matey when your treatment is finished, as you'll be several sizes larger!!!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I've been eating shedloads, not just because of the good food but also the steroid I've been on.

Now awaiting teatime after my radiotherapy, a ham salad tonight.

Am told I can perhaps go home for a day, Sat/Sun night, see how I am, but still don't have the biopsy back yet.

I am told, though, that I am officially flu-free, no more masks for me leaving the ward or staff coming in.
