Hi @Abdullah543 ,   I'm really sorry to hear of your father's illness.  Are you able to speak with his oncologist, or attend his next appointment with him & ask the questions you have then?   If not, try calling the Cancer Council on 131120.  They may be able to answer your questions. My best wishes for your family.    Budgie  ... View more

I don't have any answer for this. Kinda hoping someone does. ... View more

Just been reading about this Jo.  Apparently the side affects are pretty much like going through an abrupt menopause.  Apparently the side affects will lesson as time goes on.  Your body slowly adjusts to the absence of the hormones apparently. ... View more

Hi @Catty, I have to agree with you about the nurses in the cancer wards. They are extremely wonderful people. I hope you have success with the immunotherapy. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Take care of yourself & heal up well. Budgie ... View more

Hi, Dealing and coping with the anxiety is something that is always personal. Each individual has something that will work for them. For me, working (it meant that I had something to distract me) and fitness (walking or running). When I'm running regularly, I can take on the world. Nothing can stop me. Motorcycling is also a good release. But when I stop, I feel everything start to build up again. What do you enjoy doing? Why do you get up each day? What do you do for you?   -s ... View more

Hi Freelancer, Not sure if this any help at all but just over 3 years ago I had bone marrow stem cell transplant which consisted of several months in hospital and many, many visits (and stays) in hospital and visiting all the various specialists associated with this procedure. During my recovery process I was given an oral medication (I really can't remember its name) I started taking it as recommended and in the space of a week or so I was totally deaf. Back to the Dr's and yes he confirmed that this is one of known side effects and that it was probably permanent (shouldn't I have known??) anyway my GP believed that my hearing would recover in time as I was taken straight of the medication. In order for me to go back to work I was fitted with some (very expensive hearing aids) and that seemed to be the end of it. Three plus years on my hearing has essentially returned (not fully) and I have newer better hearing aids as I still have a level of hearing loss, which is probably age related, still have the tinnitus which wasn't there previously.   I hope you are still okay and stay that way.   Colin ...

 By all means let her know.  I think she'd like to be told. But you're dealing with two losses here, and I don't believe she will come back to you. See a psychologist or get some kind of help to deal with this. Is it possible for you to have a heart transplant?  ... View more
