Have texted you sara

 

Best wishes to you both Sara, I hope above all that it will get better.

You are lucky Bug Eyed, I just had to go for a melanoma check too and it is a worry. They said mine is ok though but to keep watching it for any spread. Good luck to you with your problem.

Les

 

Thanks Les.
Just keep an eye on it, changing colour, shape etc.
Best Wishes

I hope your mum is ok, Squaresy

I've got a mole on my back, which I am a bit concerned about. I showed the Dr and I have to go back in 3 months for a further check

Thoughts are with you all

 

was a very scarey day yesterday. hopefully mum will start to respond to antibiotics soon. as she is on steroids her immune system is shot to pieces so she will catch anything going ATM. the steroids have destroyed my mum, she now looks like Shrek.
its going to be tough for a while, but we are hanging in there

Anna, i hope your back turns out to be ok..thanks everyone for your support

 

No worries Sara

Anthony

 

Keep us updated, Sara. Tell your mum we are thinking of her

I'm sure the thing on my back is just a mole, but being a fair skinned red head ( is there any other sort?), and having caught the sun pretty badly a few times over the years, I just want to keep an eye on it.

 

Hope all is going well with your mum Sara.

Worth doing that for sure little ginge.

Les

 

Yup, echo to what Leslie said.
Keep an eye on it Little Ginge, I went to the docs and they said if it changes colour or shape or bleeds, come back. Mine bled after a shower and I went back and etc etc happened.
I am not trying to lecture anybody here, but I know it may only be a mole but they can and will do serious damage. Sorry I may have harped on a bit but, people beware!!!!
Sorry Sara for interrupting your thread like this.
Give my wishes to your Mum for me and a big for me.

Anthony

 

my mum is desperately ill now. she has still got pnemonia(sp) and is losing a lot of blood.this morning she is passing clots. i think she is now going to go into hospital. she cannot get out of bed as she cant breath. she was meant to get oxygen delivered today but i dont think that is going to do much good.
i am facing losing my mum very shortly i think

 

Nothing any of us can say will make this easier for you. Many of us have been there and comletely understand your pain.

All you can do is be there for her and make sure she knows she's loved.


<<<hug>>>

 

DBW is right - nothing that I can say to make it easier but I am thinking of you, your mum and your family and keeping my fingers crossed that she pulls through this part.

 

I'm really sorry to hear what's happened with your mum Sara,I haven't been able to post coz I still haven't got the net back on so only get the chance like now while I'm at the MIL's. I'll be thinking of you and your Mum and keeping my fingers crossed for you both, don't know when I'll next get online but you have my number if you need anything

 

So sorry to hear that Sara, I just hope things get easier for her.

Les

 

Our thoughts and wishes are with you and your mum Sara.

Lots of Love

Anthony, Ange & Ben. xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

better news than this morning..................we have been told at the hospital that mums phnemonia hadnt been managed properly and that she was on the wrong antibiotics
we was also told that my mum shouldnt have been left at home losing so much blood since Friday ........she will be having a blood top up later
they think that mum may have a tumour in her bladder and thats what may be causing the blood loss. tomorrow they will have a look with a camera and see if they can stop the bleeding. we are a long way from being out of the woods, its one day at a time.

the hospital that mum is in wont allow electric fans and there is no air conditioning, just great big bladdy windows that wont open............and the hospital heating is on FFS

i hope everyone else is coping with their problems.and thanks again for the encouragement

 

Speak to patient liasion services (PAL) - they might be able to mediate something re the temperature of yours mums ward/room.

I hope tomorrow goes ok - I'll be thinking of your mum & you xx

 

this morning my mum sounds much better, the hospital allows the patients to have their mobiles on

if we had taken the advise of the doctors at home i dont think my mum would have made it to the end of the week, she is now on the correct medication and she is responding well

today mum is having some investigations done, will post up how it goes

thanks everyone

 

Great news Sara, please give her my best wishes.

Les

 

Sara, your mum must be soooooo proud of you. Make sure you're looking after yourself too.

I hadn't read this thread for a few weeks, and have just caught up on it. What a rollercoaster. To all of you, Sara, Leslie, dynamix, Charles ....those suffering from it and caring for others, my thoughts are with you all.

cheers for that

mum had a scan on her bladder and kidneys this afternoon and they couldnt see any tumours or a bleed site(i think this is good). they are reluctant to do anything evasive as my mums immune system is down and they dont want to risk any further infections. i think they are waiting for my mum to improve a bit before they use a camera to have a look. mentally my mum is a lot better but she is still desperately ill.
i dont know if she will get over this, but if she does i am prepared for lots more ups and downs. its amazing how so much can change from one day to another....but each day is a new day for us

i am happy for anyone to post on here if they want. this thread is here for anyone that need it

 

Lots of best wishes to your mum and the others in similar circumstances

 

Sara, our thoughts our with you... we can't begin to imagine what you're going through... Hope your Mum pulls through

 

sara i hope your mother pulls out of this
my father has just got over bowel and lung cancer both of which were caught very early, he is nearly back to his normal
self after some major surgery but will never work again
my thoughts go out to you and your family

keeping positive is the best thing i can do right now and this thread always pulls me back from a dark place. its not always appropriate to call someone on the phone but here its 24/7....bit like the samaratins(sp)

 

Did you give her my hug
One for you too
