Hi Sass85, the waiting is the worst time and it’s normal to be tearful. I remember having dreadful anxiety waiting for a diagnosis. Hopefully you’ve got supportive loved ones around you. You’ll soon have a proper diagnosis and then a treatment plan. We’re all here for you 💕. Linda G  ... View more

Hi Wegotthis, I totally relate to what you are saying. Any little pain always makes me wonder “what now”?  I also ended up having a heart attack 2 months ago so I have more questions “is that my heart “?  I guess as time goes on I might stop thinking like that. Apparently it’s quite normal to have those thoughts!! Have you got your diagnosis yet? Xx Linda G  ... View more

Hi JD, that’s not good about your tongue. When I had throat and tongue problems the specialist put me on something that really helped so maybe ask the staff when you go for your treatment tomorrow. Yay that it’s your second last one! All the best for tomorrow. Xx Linda G  ... View more

Hi Debmc, that’s just so very hard for you having your dear dad go so quickly. I remember when my dad died suddenly 2 years ago he was in hospital for a day and they did all tests on his heart and couldn’t find anything. He was sent home and died during the night. It was dreadful and I cried for a year. My beautiful mum died last year and we had to make those horrible choices to keep her out of pain. So I understand what you’re going through. You don’t have to rush through the grieving process. Life goes on but it’s never the same without parents who are so special. Xx Linda G  ... View more

Hi Stirlz, so sorry your dad had gone. There’s no rush to stop grieving so soon.  I lost my mum a year ago and it’s still so hard without her. I don’t cry as much anymore but I miss her every day. When you say goodbye to a wonderful parent it’s just so hard. It’s the cost of loving 💕. You’ll be ok, let yourself grieve. I hope you have people around you to give you hugs and support.

Hi Lisa, hope you’ve had some success with your oncologist today and some help for your symptoms. I know when I first started the chemo the effects were extremely bad so the dosage was adjusted, meds given to help with side effects , and it really made it much easier to bear. 💕 Linda G ...

Hi Wegotthis, the Lymphona I had was non Hodgkin’s diffuse large BCell. The lymph node in my neck was the one I noticed but the scan showed a lot more below my neck plus 2 in my arm. The treatment I had was RCHOP which is 5 different drugs for 6 rounds. It’s worked really well and has got rid of it. They had to adjust the dosage after the first round as I had a severe reaction to it and ended up in hospital 3 times!! Once the dose was reduced I coped with the treatment a lot better. So that’s my story!! Xx Linda G ... View more

Hi, at last you got your diagnosis!  I wonder if they think it’s lymphoma? Anyway you’ll know soon enough. You are amazing with your attitude. I’m a woman of faith but it was still an emotional battle for me during the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma. But I hung on anyway 🙏. My little church family were so supportive as well as my family and friends. I’ve found it interesting that people I thought would stand by me haven’t and others have been invaluable and unexpected 💜. Every little bit of love helps and it’s made me want to help people even more. 💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi Darren71, sorry you’re having a bad day. As you say, some days are just like that. I think we would all understand the ups and downs with your emotions. Hope tomorrow is better. Hope your level of pain is under control. Will still keep you in my prayers 🙏💕. Linda G  ... View more
