Hi Ladies. Am back in hospital since Thursday and confirmed today. My OC has spread & comeback - despite finishing chemo only last December and remaining on Avastin. From my
last scan in October it had begun to spread during treatment even. Currently, a blockage & not an obstruction is root of problem, so no surgery.
A biopsy next week & I must see the endocrinologist also and back on drugs. 2 option re drugs but am going to be guided by my excellent Oncologist.
Don't want to talk about it as it seems too soon for me to listen to others - sorry if that sounds selfish, but it will help me cope.
So regards to all & think of this wilting daisy now & again.

Hi Daisies, I am sorry you find yourself in hospital and that you have a blockage. You are often in my thoughts. I am sure your oncologist will select the drug best suited to your needs. I am glad to see you still havent lost your wonderful sense of humour and I wish you only the very best as you deserve the very best J.
Thank you all for your kind messages of support, I knew it was there and it does me strength to deal with news.
Could talk calmly to Palliative Nurse about Community Care Nurses getting involved about future care. I know it is another layer in our care. Just before discharge the Palliative Doctor from our local Hospice called to have a chat. Told him that I hoped it would be a long time before I need his services. Who Knows??
So, biopsy done.....definitely won't doing that again, as the 4th probe was very tough. But hopefully, it may give good results for a different type of treatment.
Off for a family birthday celebration weekend and then new treatment begins.
The deal with telling friends, what I think to they need to know, and get on with living the good days.
Hi Daisies, it is great to hear you are back home after what has been a terrible time for you. I hope you don't have to wait to long for your biopsy results and can start on your new treatment regine. Go out this weekend and enjoy your family get together and try to forget your problems for a while, I know it is easier said than done. Take care and I will be thinking of you and hope to meet you once again at the next Coffee morning. Kittie.🌻
HI Daisies, I am glad the biopsies are over. I think just enjoy your weekend with family and let next week worry about itself, I wish the results will give you options for further treatment. I certainly hope you wont need that doc for quite some time to come, Sending you a huge hug Joan
Hi Daisies,I'm under palliative care nurses and public nurse,I'd be lost without them,as a prof of oncology said last yr,"palliative care can add up,to 18mts onto your life.They're only a phone call away 24/7.i was like you and I actually wept when it was suggested to me,I thought O.M.G,this is it,I'm on the way out! When I said that to the nurse she looked at me and smiled and said" Annie,look in the mirror can you honestly say you look on the way out!" Because I can honestly say you don't and your not"! So now I know my fear was unfounded and I think it's the word itself that was frightening.glad your home and I know you will enjoy the celebrations the weekend.xx
