Dear Kris,
I hope I am not too late to jump into this conversation. I have taken leave from my work, a highly stressfull management postion in Disability (which I loved). I dont think my world has got smaller because I, fill the time with other things, things I have not had time for in the past. So in one aspect of my life my world has gotten smaller but in many more it has enlarged.Neale and I also see a counsellor througth the anti cancer council here in Australia and I must say it has been a great help
Thank you all. I feel when I log in that I am amoungst friends, caching up on all the gossip. Its funny how an internet group can bring people with common intrests (even though none of us want this common interest) together like that.
Gosh Lainy that is wonderful news about your granddaughter I bet she is over the moon.
Do you remember when you had a baby and there was always some nurse who told you not to push? In my experience when asked that nurse had never had a baby so had no idea of what trying not to push ment, even though she was a very skilled midwife. I am treating my medical team like that, whilst they know the disease they don’t know what its like to have it. So most of their advice I follow but some bits I ignore, like the use by date.
Dear Kris,
I live somewhere nice and warm with beaches and a pool, people who live here call it pardise, Carins Tropical North QLD. So the kids live at the other end of the country in Melbourne, its famous for having 4 seasons in one day. Packing is a bit of challenge.I will spoint the grandkids rotten.
Dear Ron,
Thanks I had the upper arm ct today and hope when I get the results on Monday that I will be able to tell you all I am cancer free at present!!! Wishful thinking? I think not.
I got my PET scan results today and nothing liver clear with nothing in lymph nodes, dont know what the DR who wrote the CT report was on!! They did however find a spot on my upper right arm which I am having a CT scan on Friday. But as I said to the oncologist nope its not what you think, we will see who is right.
My heart goes out to all of you who are further in you journey than I am and having a tougher time.
Good suggestion Marion,
I will check out the time differences and post the day before when I am going to be on. I usually leave it on during the day, if the server does not go down. But then my day is a day in front of the USA and night is day down here.
Ron,
I noticed on one of your recent posts you said you were up at 4am this was followed by a number of people who are up at odd times of the night. So again I am asking why the chat room is not used more often. With a whole lot of us living in variious time zones across the world it would be nice to know there was someone out there to talk to when we cant sleep.Thanks Gavin,
I checked them out seems it can go from 0 to 100 in 10 seconds, or anywhere in between. Will just have to be patient until I see the oncologist.Can anyone answer this question. can this thing grow 4cm X 2.5 in the space of 8 weeks??? Thats the size of your thumb. I am freaking out here waiting for the oncologist visit.
Your message came at just the right time for me. I am having a real downer this week and I dont even feel sick. My poor partner is getting the brunt of it all. I will have to be kinder to him.
