Big Hugs from here to you (and your Mam) lesley

 

Thanks John x

Lets just hope it's scar tissue, the infection is a bit of a worry though.

Wasn't going to post until I noticed the date

 

Keep your fingers crossed, Lesley.
Thinking about your mum.
Take it easy.

 

Ive just noticed the thread about Anth too.. Im sat here now with a tear in my eye and a house brick lodged in my throat. this must have happened when I was away over in NZ as I never saw it at the time.


Bye B.E.P. thanks for your kindness, words and thoughts as we chatted about my Bro -in Law, and about others too in the thread .

 

Thanks Swati She is kinda special, as I lost my Dad when he was only young

 

Mums are always very special, Lesley.

Sorry to know that you lost your dad when he was only young. Your mum has fulfilled both mum and your dad's role for you. Special credits to her

 

Lee, I don't really know if I can offer any help here, sorry. When my Mam's cancer was found, nothing at all was found on the mammogram, so further tests were needed (ultrasound and biopsy), as there was a lump there. There are so many forms, some just don't show up. As something has appeared, however, inconclusive, further tests will be needed, but hopefully as you say, it could be scar tissue, or something else which isn't anything to worry about.


Hopefully the infection is unrelated. I've had infections that have lasted months, some just seem to take hold.

I wish I could be any sort of help, but all I can really say, is I hope it turns out to be nothing serious, and I'm here whenever you might want to have a talk. Just keep an eye out on msm for me,if you don't want to chat on here.

All my love to both of you.

 

Don't be daft, you know you're not boring the knickers off me, I'm here for you, you know that. I'd be in pieces if it was my mum. I've got everything crossed for you xxx

 

That could be a bit uncomfortable

Am calling in to see her this afternoon, then Mammogram in the morning.

I'll take her a bottle of Brandy, that will perk her up

 

Hope all is well with her Lesley, it is a worrying thing of course but hopefully it is just a bit of scar tissue. I had a CT Scan just over a week ago and they found a shadow on my lung but it turned out to be scar tissue anyway. Makes you twitch a bit though.

The brandy should do her a world of good!

Les

 

Fingers crossed that all works out well for this Im always available on MSN if you want a chat too.
Would be good to hear a continued good new story in the mix of it all

Look forward to hearding some good news form ya soon.

 

hope you mum is ok lesley, fingers crossed

it was difficult enough when she broke her arm, good luck for you both


my scare was only pleurisy but it put the fear of got onto me!

 

fingers crossed for you

Thinking of everyone at their difficult times

Steph xx

 

Thanks folks

Took her a bottle of Brandy this afternoon. Said she was going to get herself drunk tonight She's a lot more positive, thankfully. No idea how long for the results but she has the mammogram early tomorrow morning.

 

Got my fingers crossed Lee, hope all goes well.

xx

 

Cheers, Tam. Funny how it is exactly a year ago, since the lump was taken away

 

Waiting for the results.

Thanks you lot, took my mind off it for a bit

 

Mam got the all clear today Scar tissue. She is now probably out of her tree on brandy. Thanks for the support all, much appreciated

 

Good news Lee

My dad is still in High Dependency, went in for the op two week ago today, he started to get better, then got worse and moved back to ICU, then he started to recover, so they moved him back onto the main post op ward, started to get better, then ended up back in ICU for another Op and this time they kept him on a Ventilator

He is off the Ventilator and has been moved last night from ICU to HDU and is improving, although he keeps getting a temp, and is on oxygen and loads of other monitoring stuff, and now the morphine is making him hallucinate

the good news is that they managed to remove all the cancer, but he is still not out of the woods yet

 

My best wishes to you

 

Excellent news Lee

Hopefully Steve will have better news for us soon too Our thoughts are with you bud, take care.

 

Thank God for that. Such good news, don't blame her if she's celebrating.

Steve, our thoughts are with you, I really hope your Dad improves soon. Love to your family.

 

 

cheers peeps, its been a tough two weeks

Im still going to the hospital everynight straight from work for a few hours, tonight Dad slept the whole way through, didnt even know we were there, but he has had a rough couple of nights of discomfort and very little sleep, so we left him too it

The strange thing is he absolutly sailed through the chemo and radiotherapy, got virtually zero side effects, I guess he knew this op would be the big thing to knock him for six

He still has his jokes with the nurses, and earlier today he said he was going to do a runner with Donna (as she was visiting him )

 

Can't say how glad I am at your news Lesley. She deserves more brandy!

I wish your dad all the best Sonic, he has been through the mill allright. Sounds like he is recovering though.

The auto morphine device went wrong on me and overdosed me heavily. I was not able to chase the nurses though!

Les

 

And its got even worse tonight

They have found urine in his drain, so they think they may have nicked his kidney in the 2nd op last week, so he was being prepped this evening to go and have a camera with dye to check if there is a leak, and if so how big

They have got a couple of options depending on the size of the leak, from a small stent on the nick, to worst case removing his kidney

My Dad looked really fed up tonight (he had only been told about 30 minutes previous)

However he has maintained his sense of humour, a lot of nurses & doctors were in with the patient in the next bed, trying to get him to do things and panicking around a bit, and everytime they asked him, my dad unplugged his heart monitor so it would alarm, looking at me laughing saying 'they will think that is the bloke next door' naughty but brought a smile to our faces

We are phonining the hospital at midnight to see if he went into theatre or not

 

Aww, Steve. and there is me bragging about Mam.
My thoughts are with you and your Dad x

 

Steve ,sorry to hear the news about your dad.. hope it goes well,
wishes to you, Donna and the kids, fella

John

Mam is having loads of tests Problem is now down below. Nurse first thought it was Tamoxifen related. She has had loads of tests on Monday and has to go back asap They are not happy and neither am I

Fingers crossed please, people. She has gone through enough

 

Sorry to hear she is not doing too well Lee.

Hopefully it might not be anything to serious. I have everything crossed for you and your Mam, our love to you both.

Keep us informed, and don't be sorry for getting it off your chest hun.
