Cheers too FM, not sure what the long term is. But at the mo we are both coping well with the hand we have, so fingers crossed there will be no sudden suprises. Although I am getting more and more concerned about her breathing.

Good Luck with your mum Snazy.
Mine was supposed to go in to the RVI, Newcastle, for a mastectomy in the morning at 7.30am, rang tonight at about 5.30pm to cancel it till Monday
Good old NHS

Snazy, hopefully your Mam will be more comfortable for getting some treatment, glad to hear she is going for it. I wish her, and you all the best, my thoughts are with you.
Richie, typical, but at least it's not a really long wait. My Mam had one done too, hopefully your Mam will be fine afterwards. I wish her a speedy recovery, as it's obviously not a very pleasant operation. My thoughts are with you also.

Well she has had all the pre treatment stuff done today, scans, bloods etc, and her life changing tattoos lol. Which I have been giving her stick about.
Over the next 6 weeks she will have 1 weekly dose, the last one being on....... Xmas Eve ! Nice eh, doh.
She seems very positive about it at the mo. Although got some new drugs today, which she proceeded to read the "possible" side effects on, and go off on one about how ill they were going to make her. So fingers crossed she will be ok about the side effects of the radiotherapy.
Her hearing difficulties have caused issues recently, but im doing my best to work with it.
Parking today though, grrrrr £16, plus the congestion charge too (which we can claim back)
So, first dose is this Thursday, watch this space for news

Good news about starting treatment, got to admit remember seeing side effects of XT on people when I was a student and it ain't nice though
On a different note, my mum lfet the house at 6.30 this morning to prep for surgery at 9am, got a call from my dad saying that they delayed it till this afternoon.
Rang the RVI saying that she due in at 3.30, then all of a sudden its cancelled again till Thursday morning.
Are these people having a sick joke? I'm fucking fuming

Aaah you're kiddin me !
I guess there must be a reason for it, but frustration and stress beyond belief eh!
Seeing the chemo start to affect mum was not nice. Just waiting to see what effects she will suffer from the radio, and drugs she has now. Fingers crossed nothing too major.
Just noticed the swear filter let you say a naughty word too lol

Right here goes again.
My sister, as some might have read on my bloggings, seems to be a bit of a selfish ****. Some have given other reasons for her actions, but personally I cant see past the selfishness.
With mum being diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year, my sister suddenly became very distant. Some, inc me, for some time believed this was her way of dealing with the whole "losing mum" thing, which was understandable.
But as time has gone on, her behaviour just points more and more towards being a selfish $hit rather than finding it hard to cope with it all.
2 examples for you. Since the diagnosis she has hardly been round, unless there has been something to gain. For example. before today, the last time she set foot in the house was Nov 2nd, her birthday. On this day she literally popped her head in the door, grabbed her cards and gifts, and legged it. 10 mins here in total.
I know, I hear you, she lives miles away and its hard to get here you say........... Nope, she lives in the next street, and works in the next one over, so passes this street EVERY day and evening. But for 18 days now, and many weeks if not months before, she has not found a second of time to come over and see her mother. Her mother who has terminal cancer, and visits the hospital almost daily at the moment. The hospital she has not really found time to go to one single appointment with her to date since diagnosis.
She did however visit her in hospital a few months back, but then again that resulted in me looking after the kids for 4 days while she took a break in Somerset.
Which brings me neatly to the next example.... TODAY!
Today I came home to take mum to hospital, and discovered that Aana, the bitch Malamute has come into season. Eeek I thought, I need to leave them alone, this isn't good. A text to my sister and strangely she agreed to come and keep an eye on them for an hour. How nice I thought, but nice and price sound alike and go hand in hand. Where there is nice, there is a price!
On my way home I text to say we would be back soon... To which she replied. "ok good, i need a favour please, can you have the kids tonight, as me and dave have to take the car back to Somerset. We should be back in time in the morning to take the kids to school."
Should is a very open word, which can easily be followed by "can you do it please"
So not seen her for almost 3 weeks, then suddenly she wants her 70 year old, ill mother to baby sit over night, while she goes and does something they should have done at the weekend.
Families eh, where would we be without them...................... Dont ask me to answer that one!

I never cease to be amazed at your sister's attitude Snazy, cam anyone really be that selfish and still be able to think logically? Can she really not realise how ill your Mum is and expect her to have to look after her children like that.
I am very lucky in having a sister whose attitude is 180 degrees different and who looked after my mother's every need towards the end of her life.
I can only hope that yours might have a change of heart eventually, you need some real help with all those problems.

It aint about to happen. She is pregnant again now, and im sure even if mum was bed bound, once the baby is born she would happily just pop round, pop it in bed with mum and leave a few nappies and a bottle !
I was so pissed about all that I forgot the important part!
After waiting half hour yesterday we were called into a room, sat down, and told there was confusion about why we were there.
I said ( as mum is rather deaf, hence i need to do a lot of talking for her) that we were there for the pre treat, and first treatment on Elekta 1.
I was then shown their screen which had NO record of an appointment, and instead told the dates were totally different to what I had record of, and not even being done in St Tom's but over in Guys, starting NEXT week.
I would not mind, but we were given the print out with the dates on MONDAY of this week, and it was all explained when where etc. I was also told it was not possible that the dates could have changed, as it would show on screen.
Sadly i had not taken the print out with me.
So (you will love this bit)
I asked my sister to take a pic of the paper in front of her at my house, and send me the image NOW, so I could show them. Was not gonna argue, just wanted to make the point.
30 mins later, nothing, so I text to ask what was going on. She text back " I will get dave to do it in a minute, im just doing something else" Thanks sis!!!!
So the outcome is, the appointments have changed from Thursdays to Wednesday, from AM to PM and from St Thomas's to Guys Hospital. The change of location suits, as its a straight train and saves paying parking fees, and congestion charge.
Mum has been back to hospital today to have her blood checked due to the Warfarin, and into A&E to have her lump which is now bleeding, dressed. Poor sod.
I text my sister last night asking if she can take mum to hospital on the 10th, so far, no reply.
Aaaah well, such is life eh.
On a lighter note I saw a blind man struggling up the main road today past roadworks. As people from all walks of life looked on and watched him get more and more confused and frustrated..... Suddenly a scruffy guy in a heavy jacket and hoodie on (hood up) charged through them. It looked like he was just being rude. But then, he ran over to the guy, took his arm, and proceeded to help him through and on his way (I was in the car at traffic lights btw)
So it just goes to show, there is hope for society yet..... just not my sister.

Hey Snazy you can pick your friends and all that
Sounds like a selfish nightmare, but one usually in all families.
I'm lucky, got a sister in the US who flew back today and one that lives in France coming over next week to see my mum.
My other, very heavily pregnant sister, down London has already been up to see her.
Just to add the mastectomy went ahead yesterday for the 3rd time trying!
Popped in to see her after work today and she seemed well and chatty.
Just need further tests now so fingers crossed.

Good on your family mate, thats how it should be. I would fly from anywhere in the world at a moments notice. My sister cant make it from the next street if there isn't something in it for her.
Great news about the op, glad its finally gone ahead, and that she seems to be making a good recovery, always nice to hear
Fingers crossed with you for the tests and future mate.
Mum finally starts radiotherapy next Wednesday, along with a trip to see the specialist to check out the bleeding bit, and see what they can do to make it a bit better. They have already said the first couple of weeks may not be pleasent for her.

Strangulation requires my energy. Energy of which I can not be bothered to waste on her
Besides, she has probably left me the kids in her will too.

Hey there Sanzy, just had some great news today after a rough few days of dodgy infections and readmissions to different hospitals!
My mum went in for her outpatients and has been given the all clear
No treatment needed and the next outpatients is in 12 months.
All it took was a left breast and 11 nodes but still makes you feel lucky.
My uncle died 9 days after having an op to remove the tumour on his liver a few years back

So pleased for you Richie. All my love to you all.
Snazy, I know exactly how you feel, as my situation is the same as yours, only it's me there for my Mam, and my brother who isn't. I am not getting into all that though as it only makes me so angry, I can't put it into words.
All you can do is be there for her, and forget your sister. She clearly doesn't care, so make it clear you both aren't there for her when it's convienient, that could hit home with her.

I agree with Lisa, sorry to hear you have the same trouble as Snazy.
I think Lisa has recommended the best action Snazy, just don't be around the next time she wants to dump the children on you or heaven help us, on your mum.

I spent so long trying to help put things right, trying to intervene, to no avail.
It became easier, and less painful all round, to accept how he was, and not waste time trying to understand. Basically he is the same as Snazys' sister. He is out for what he can get, and when people no longer serve a purpose to him, and have nothing to offer, they're pushed to one side.
If she cannot be there for those who need her, just don't be there for her, simple. (as hard as that can be)

Righty ho, time for a little update I guess
Mum has finally completed the course of radiotherapy (which she said she would never have) 7 doses of high intensity, once weekly RT in the Elekta machines at Guys, with the last 2 at St Thomas's
The outcome is as follows. Lots of skin soreness similar to sunburn right across her chest. The tumour is poking its nose out the side now, causing a fair bit of bleeding. The problem over recent weeks has been to find dressings suitable for the wound.
On the plus side, the doctor she has been seeing during treatment is happy with the progress, and provisional examinations suggest there is no spreading of the cancer. However the specialist who prescribed the treatment was hoping to see the tumour reduce enough to stop the bleeding and it poking out (so to speak) so that part has been unsuccessful.
We are off to her consultant next week to get more scans done, and see where he wants to go from there, and if he feels the treatment has been worth while. If he feels it has, then he will be considering treatment for the other side.
I have to say well done to mum for putting up with all the discomfort during the treatment, and being good about the travelling to and from the hospital.
Im not sure I have been the best companion at times, being rather quiet and inward due to stress getting the better of me. I need a bigger plate lol.
So onwards and upwards. Lets see how good 09 can be to mum, and fingers crossed for next week when the consultants have their say. Im going to be in on the meeting as she is losing the plot a little right now, and not really taking on board what they tell her.
Finally....2 more things.
To those who have never visited a cancer treatment section of a hospital, its a humbling, eye opening experience, and I am still shocked every time, by the number of people being treated! Stunning. Good luck to them all on a fast and good recovery.
And very finally...
RIP Stuart Emms, 28. Who sadly lost his short battle with cancer over Xmas. You were a crazy crazy man, and you are missed dearly mate. Stolen from us way too early in life. Thoughts out to Sophie and your family.

I think it only right to also mention me old mucker Breeny, 26. Who last month managed to beat the bugger. So the odds are nice at the mo. The Big C aint taking them all just yet.
Indeed 28 is way too young to be taken like that. 5 weeks from diagnosis to losing the battle.

well done, snazy's mum for being brave and following through with the radiotherapy. If she can get through that, she can deal with anything 
Her skin will be sore for a while, Snaz. I don't know if you've been told but the best things toiletry wise are 'Simple' products. You can get just about anything soap, shampoo, bubble bath, deoderant..
Sorry to hear about your mate. Christmas seems to be the time when these things happen My other halfs uncle lost his sister to lung cancer on the Saturday 2 weeks before christmas. She died at 5am... and his brother died at 8am the same day from complications during surgery to repair his bowel after having surgery for bowel cancer All this after losing his other brother to lung cancer 2 years ago - again at Christmas
Her skin will be sore for a while, Snaz. I don't know if you've been told but the best things toiletry wise are 'Simple' products. You can get just about anything soap, shampoo, bubble bath, deoderant..

Heya
Yeah she has been told all about the skin care bits and bobs, her main concern is the cut which bleeds slowly all the time, and she has occasional accidents with, which cause heavy bleeds.
Hoping the hospital will have some suggestions in the week
Sounds like a proper nightmare that, sorry to hear Xmas is a bad time for you recently.

He was one of the top lads there in my eyes. Not seen him for about a year or 2 myself.
Heard almost as soon as it happened, due to one of his friends not knowing how to break the news to others.
True loss I have to say. The funeral sounds nicely done though
Jan 9th I believe.

Yeah, known him for years, back in the days of Sutton High St, with people like the Green's, Humphries, Fletchers etc.
