It's really great news about the cancer. Even better, you won’t have to go through chemo. It's a bit of a pain having to wear a scarf in this weather I bet, but it's all for the best in the long run. Let’s hope that all the subsequent Appointments are just as good, even if they do become a bit of a drag. But it’s better to be more…
That was the right film linda, get the lights off when you watch it though, it'll soon test whether your voicebox is till working! Don't you be dissapearing altogether, quite like knowing my blogs being read...but if you do go AWOL, take care x more…
Linda, dear, you are having one hell of a time! At least as you say, only two more treaments after to-day.
I noted a few 'blogs' ago that you said your GP would help by getting your father admitted somewhere if things got too much on top of you. When P (my friend) had her radiotherapy she felt pretty rotten for some weeks after it was finishe more…
Do keep positive if you can - you have had such a lot to deal with and seem to be doing so well in yourself - well done; YOU and those supporting you are your greatest asset - keep thinking +ve . I know two friends (a lot older than you!); both have had cancer - one was always totally +ve and now has an 8 year survival; the other has always been more…
you keep bashing away at it,the fact your feeling stuff probably means your at least getting a reaction to the zapping...no pain no gain and all that. Pity you had to break the machine though! lol more…
This is Claire (Linda's daughter) and I just want to say how much I love my mum and how proud I am of her - in spite of all the other problems in her life she has to deal with at the moment she's taking all of this really well, which in turn helps *me* get through this as well. I feel helpless not being able to do anything for her (the radiotherapy more…
sat here with loads to write but nothing to say....glad your fighting it head on and the team around you i'm sure will keep you on the road to recovery, fight the fight! more…
Things will be the way they will be, reason fails to understand why.i believe we have the ability to face everything before us however bitter or sweet things are. Denial only makes our expereince more terrible. Though it is easier said than done, i still wish you would accept the situation, face it like a heart with great potential. This body is we more…
All the very best with your ongoing treatment. Fantastic that people can get the chance to read and understand, in some small way, what this can involve. We are all in some way touched by cancer, and so I wish you my sincere best wishes.

Hi Linda
Good to see that the neck is starting to look a lot better.
I see that you have seen the Oncologist. Does this mean that you will be having Chemo as well?
