    Jen,

    I'm sorry to hear this but as you yourself say there is good news to be taken from this. I reckon one of the reasons you were just sobbing is frustration. You've been suffering from this pain for months and you've been fobbed off until you yourself sorted it out. When the pain goes the relief will follow. This isn't all bad.

    I'm sorry to hear this and I'm also sorry I'm late in responding. Knowing your spirit however, you've probably bounced back already. Wishing you all the best for your next round with the beast.

    Peggy,

    I have only today learned of Don's death. I am desperately sorry. He was an incredibly stong and determined man and you were rightly very proud of him. I have no other words, I am just so sorry.

    Cindi, what the heck is a slurpee?

    Shar, I think you should celebrate your survival but I know it's hard. My friend is 39 (big 40 coming up)and she struggles with the change in her life too. It's such a huge thing but, as Claire would say, "can't go back".

    You're here, surviving and fighting and that's worth celebrating. Even if an old pommie is telling you so.

    Well your new name seems to be Perky Cindi. Can I call you Perky Percy cos it rhymes better :D I love the word perky is sounds so, well, perky. Ok, bringing this back to the point :D:D:D Percy can breathe again. I second Maryanne on the state of that bar.

    Lupus?

    in GENERAL

    Just a public thank you to you all and to those I've thanked privately too. I have to say that I am relieved to see you here saying that lupus is difficult to diagnose because I got a bit het up when Claire said they weren't sure and it was going to take a fair old while to confirm or not. Sounds like that is par for the course rather than incompetence.

    I knew very little about lupus but thought it was a fatal disease - very relieved to know I'm wrong.

    This so cr*ppy, I'm sorry. It would be good if you didn't have to be brave and determined - just given a break.

    I have to say though that Bunny's post made me laugh - probably not intentionally on her part :lol:

    I hope this is resolved quickly for you

    Lupus?

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    I'm going to confess right off that I've had a bad few weeks and the worst part about it is that Claire's been feeling ill. It transpires that she's felt unwell for over a month now but didn't mention it to me until very recently. She only told me then because she thought the cancer had returned.

    Anyway, to cut a long story short they think she's still NED but she may have lupus. What the he*l is lupus? I mean I've heard of it but I don't know what it is. Claire said something about her immune system but if she's got something else going on... I'm in a bit of a panic to be honest.

    Can anyone tell me whether, if she does have lupus, this is something that she could have been made vulnerable for by the cancer or its treament? Is it curable and will it have any effect of her fighting the cancer? I'm sure she'll know the answers to this if lupus is confirmed but I want to know now.

    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Dee
