Thanks Laura, just spoke with them, it’s basically previous treatments that have weakened blood vessels at back of throat! One was avastin as was on it a long time but reassured it’s normal! Unless it didn’t stop xx

It’s not bad and it’s stopped! Just damaged vessels that are weak and very prone to treatment apparently 🙄 another day in the life of oc! Now got a small haemorrhoid just to add to list! And calcium up 😂

I’m so glad it’s stopped . That must have been frightening. I got very scared with inexplicable nosebleeds before surgery and during taxol. It seems to leave our circulation system weaker than it was.

The piles are another deep joy! The steroid suppositories are helpful if you can get them prescribed.

Did the steroid suppositories take long to work? Also is it normal to have so much wind and bowel noise! Always looking for a toilet! Hoping it will calm down, ca125 coming down about 30 a week! Slow but in the right direction! Still h Got hair? 🙏 xx

Yes they work within the day to take away pain. Complete shrinkage may take longer . I’ve got used to passing wind all day and may soon be able to produce a tune. Being vegetarian means the aroma isn’t terrible but I’m glad when there’s padding traffic or a loud bit on the telly.

Glad the hair is still there!

Now we just need a hairdresser that is a bit deaf.

Big hugs xxxx
