Be Encouraged
I’m writing to encourage anyone losing hope. As I write this, my dad has been hospitalized for 25 days, but he’s on the road to recovery from Legionnaire’s disease (legionella pneumonia). He had most of the pneumonia fatality factors - compromised immune system, over 50 yrs old, diabetic, transplant

TUMOUR HCC (cancer) No transplant. No treatment. I can’t accept this.
Hi everyone. Sorry I’m kind of posting about the same thing but I really need some help/advice. Mum had her follow-up cat scan yesterday and her tumour has grown to 7 cm and there are possibly one or two more. Her doctor is adamant she is not eligible for transplant. Her doctor doesn’t want to do any

LIVER CANCER
Good Morning, so it turns out that my dads cirrhosis has turned into liver Cancer-widespread. Only palliative care can be arranged now. I feel like my world is falling apart around me and i cant stop it. My Mam died from Breast cancer that had spread to her liver. I don't think i can watch this again

So I’m doing this.....
This morning. It’s the marathon in Belfast today & I’m doing the 4.5 mile leg of the relay and I’ll be honest I’m nervous. I’m determined to run as much as possible as all the funds are going to the palliative care unit that took care of my big sister who passed away last August at only 45 years old

MY SISTER’S SYAGE 4 NCLC - UPDATE
Hello group! My sister’s liver enzymes were very high and they stopped her targeted therapy for now. We have an appointment with the oncologist on Thursday and one with palliative care on Friday. Is this normal to have a drop in your enzymes? She’s 85 years old and I think her age is not helping

Second line Caelyx and bowel obstruction
Hello ladies, can anyone help me, I had second line Caelyx three weeks ago and ended up over the weekend in hospital with a bowel obstruction, luckily it pushed through itself as I was told it was inoperable, still not sure if it's scarring or tumour as scans seemingly are black and grey and not that

Update on my husband-Hankwhy(Mike)
I am Mike’s wife Kim. It was important to him that I update as well as give thanks. Mike is currently in the hospital. His hemoglobin got down to a 4.9 in a short period of time, doing better each day. After two rounds of Xofigo he had to stop. Side affects were brutal, never quite got back to himself

Scared
Had breast cancer in 2010 with chino and radiotherapy, also a lumpectomy. Went recently about a sciatic nerve problem and ended up having scans which found I had metastatic cancer in my back. Have lost over a stone in weight through not eating. Very depressed and anxious. Nhs have given me the run

Feeling confused and overwhelmed
I have registered on advice of a Neuro nurse to be his
carer
. I find it overwhelming sometimes, by the lack of
support
. It seems you are on your own. I cope reasonably well except when I am not well. Ihave angina and A fib episodes. Can someone tell me what help or support is available?

Appointment with Radiologist
Attended hospital today for first appointment with radiologist who advised that I could have a “one off “ dose of radiology to hopefully shrink the tumour on my right lung to prevent it spreading into the spinal cord (it has attached itself to my spine already). Have to attend the hospital tomorrow

Please help us with NH Lymphoma. My wife is terminal.
HELP !!! My wife is terminal with NH Tcell Lymphoma. Because of where it is, she can not eat. They tried EPOCH, but after the 4th of 6 rounds, they quit because the said it wasn't working. This is Shands in Gainesville Florida. We went to Tampa to a place called Moffit for a second opinion. They concurred
