I attended the Look Good Feel Better workshop yesterday and it was truly wonderful. the ladies were fantastic and entertaining. the program was well suited for the ladies having Chemo, as it also involved wigs and head pieces as well. thank you, you made my day. cheers to you all Jodielee12

As the day approaches for Greg's scan, the first since completing treatment, our anxiety levels increase dramatically. We are each silently processing, reservedly hoping and fearfully imagining what the results will tell us. Our poor two boys have to deal with a 'more stressed out than usual' Mum and Dad, it is so cruel how this impacts all areas of our lives.

September 2009, We've got through the hospitalization and the high temps, no clear reason found for what was causing them. No results confirmed that it was swine flu. We have 10 days before the sixth and final round of chemo is scheduled to start. Guess what, Greg is suffering from tinnitus really bad. It is something he is asked at each appt and whilst it has always been there (even before chemo) it is now a constant and has gone up in intensity. On Friday,Greg tells me he is considering not going through with the final round.

August 09. Greg has a pre-treatment appt booked with the oncologist (O) and after the last appointment I am feeling that it is not worth me making the effort to:- organize someone else to pick up the kids, drive the hour or so trip and sit waiting for the always late O to call us in and potentially cop another "I don't exist" scenario.

here i go again, counting down. i have 7 treatments left now and i am starting to feel the pain. here i was thinking i was going to get away with all the burning, blistering and soreness. but it has hit me for 6. they say my skin is looking very good but i can't see that or am i blind. i am in a shit of a mood at the moment and just want to go home. i am missing everyone and want my own space. i dont want to travel anymore as i am over that as well.

I am not 2 sure about this but will post it & see what u all think. I got this information on Lemongrass and cancer. Thought i would share this with everyone. Imagine what the Lemongrass essential oil can do. Would make a nice warm (not Hot) tea to drink and also get the benefits from it. Fresh Lemon Grass Drink Causes Apoptosis to Cancer Cells (apoptosis) noun: a type of cell death in which the cell uses specialized cellular machinery to kill itself; a cell suicide mechanism that enables metazoans to control cell number and eliminate cells that threaten the animal's survival.
