Or if your docs are the same age range as mine you'd better go for 'if I was your daughter'

[reallyreallyworried]

Good luck today Really, whatever your decision.

Had my rads CT scan, measuring up and tattoos yesterday. Was fine, although the tattoo between my boobs looks like a blackhead.

Lots of luck today really- sympathy on heartburn as steroids give it to me too.

Handbags -tattoos are annoying aren't they? Look like biro dots to me but do make it easier to do rads.

Good luck really we will all be virtually holding your hand

I can hardly see my tattoos as I'm quite freckly !

982 messages! We need a new thread! I don't know how to do the linky thing so shall leave it to a more savvy person to start a new one.

[malteserzz]

Nor me foo foo !

Really, I know this is your decision. And it's not our role here to pressure you either way. But I'd pay very careful attention to what they said about the possibility of a major stroke....and that you have some leftover weakness from the bleed.
What are they doing about that? Seriously - they should be offering OT assessments etc. Are they?

I'm off to make a new thread, but my broadband is on a go slow this morning, so back in a minute or two...

Got The Call:

Low Grade Sarcoma
Margins clear

[malteserzz]

Is that good goodness ? What happens next ? We've started a new thread as this one is nearly full so you might want to repost on there

[GoodnessKnows]

Just got The Call
Low Grade Sarcoma

Telling you (all) first.

Crying now with relief.

This is good
Never ever did I think that I'd be grateful to be told I have cancer.

Because I don't.
It's low grade
Margins are clear (they got the whole thing out)

I need to be monitored. Not the end but could've been worse.

(Still crying)

But it's not the bastard benign type that needs chemo, radiotherapy, cancer drugs by the truck load as it's so aggressive and pretty much always comes back.

It also means I'll have support. Macmillan for a start.
I'm with the centre of excellence for these rarer cancers. My doctor was thrilled to have his first 'case'.
Lol

I'm here to please ;)

Hi all, I'm having my last tax today! Finally!! There were times when I thought I'd never get to the end.

I'm reading about eyebrows and eyelashes with great interest. Mine got seriously thin with bald patches (lovely!) in the middle of the second tax cycle. There was a little bit of regrowth towards the end of that cycle but the onc warned me that it wouldn't last.

Now I'm gritting my teeth and trying not to glower at the companion of the man in the next bed who is slurping his hot coffee. Aargh!!
