[Update on my dad]

Thanks to all who`ve posted your words are very kind! As for tarceva we can buy it over here for £1900 a month but the nhs will not fund it! There is big battles over here at the moment as the nhs refuse to fund alot of the medication that is vitally needed due to the cost!! However if we lived in Scotland we could get it funded for us

Mom sent me a text to tell me. I was dancing round the kitchen crying (silly moo)

[Allergic Reaction To Chemo]

Hi Friends

My dad went for his chemo on friday and mentioned a rash that he has to the chemo nurse, they then informed us its an allergic reaction to the chemo so he cant have it. Damn.

He has got to go back to see onc on the 6th September to discuss a different form of chemo or a lower dose. Dad now wishes he hadnt said anything because he had only got 2 more cycles to go!!!

Anybody have any encouraging comments, we are all down hearted now more time passes without treatment, how much bigger is this monster getting while the treatment stops.

What other chemo is good out there he was on gem and carbo.

Sorry for the long post feel slightly better for ranting

Love and Light

Donna

[OMG cant cope with much more]

Thanks for your support

[OMG cant cope with much more]

No Becky of course its not about me, my feelings and thoughts obviously count for nothing..but hey

[OMG cant cope with much more]

[OMG cant cope with much more]

My other halfs mom rang yesterday to tell us she has got lung cancer!!

How much more crap are we going to have thrown at us...

[Pains]

Hi guys

Thanks for all your advice, took dad to doc last night, he`s got some pain relief now thank goodness.

Doctor seems to think its siatica(sp).. As apparently dad used to suffer with it a few years back...

Hoping that the doctor is right but I have to admit that I`m worried dad`s cancer has spread to his bones..

Love and light

Donna

[Snappy comebacks to the "Do you Smoke?" question]

It really gets my back up when people ask that question!! Its as if they are saying that people with lung cancer deserve it.

My doctor actually said to me about dad

"well he smoked for 60 years so what do you expect"

I could of slapped the doctor

[Need Washing ?]

bless

thats just made me cry

[Feeling Low]
