Hi Paul, just read your post. So sorry for your cancer diagnosis. I didn’t have lung cancer so can’t give you any input on that but I know what it’s like to have a cancer diagnosis.   Just trust that your doctor will give you the best possible treatment for you. Hope you have lots of family and friends to support you. Love and prayers to you. 💕🙏 Linda  ... View more

Hello Doug, so sorry that cancer has returned to your body. Sorry that you have been traumatised by your previous treatment. I can understand that. My first chemo treatment gave me an anaphylactic reaction and I thought I’d made the biggest mistake of my life!  My lovely specialist adjusted all the chemo doses and I was able to finish my 6 months of treatment. Maybe if you express all your fears to your specialist they can reassure you with a decision.  I pray that you will have wisdom with what you decide to do  🙏💕 Linda  ... View more

Hi MJ1, I would def pay to see a gynaecologist! You’ve already waited a year and then to wait another year doesn’t sound right!! Does your doctor suggest paying to see the gynaecologist? Yes sometimes you have to put up a fight for your health. So very sorry that you are so unwell and the health system is failing you. Hope you’ve got someone in your life to support you through this. 🙏💕 LindaG  ... View more

Hi Grahame, so wonderful to have such a good update from you about your wife. She is doing really well. I remember those things like doing the washing or cooking were such achievements to start with. It sounds like you have been through the worst of it and it will just slowly get back to almost normal. Take care🙏💕. LindaG  ... View more

Hi Matthew, yes it’s such a shock when you go from being healthy and fit and then get a cancer diagnosis.  My diet was always good but during chemo I had lots of protein shakes to give me some energy when I couldn’t eat much. I also tried to walk every day, no matter how I was feeling. We all react to treatment differently so you just face the challenges as they come. My husband and 3 children were so supportive and necessary for my recovery 🙏💕 ... View more

Good that you heard from your specialist. My lymphoma was treated with RCHOP chemo which is a combination of 5 drugs. I had 6 rounds, 1 every 3 weeks. That was 2 years ago and the treatment was successful. I can’t say it was easy but it was worth it. There are lots of success stories on here! Your dad is blessed to have your support.  ...

Hi Matthewdl, that all sounds very frustrating for you and your dad. Is it lymphoma that your dad has? Getting a second opinion is a good idea. When I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin’s lymphoma it was 6 weeks for treatment to start after having had all the various tests. Hope you can get some answers soon. Maybe ring the specialist’s secretary to see if she can give you an answer regarding the appointment. 🙏💕Linda G ... View more

Hi Dididi, my cancer was different to yours but a known the anxiety of waiting for the PET scan. At least you will know what you are dealing with from this scan. All I can advise is to stay close to your loved ones and don’t be afraid to ask for emotional help when you need it. Praying for you 🙏💕 LindaG  ... View more

Hi DD23, so sorry the cancer has come back after so many years.   I guess you will just have to trust your medical team to do the best for you. I hope you have family and friends to support you and your little one.  I have had cancer but not breast cancer. I just wanted to reply to you so you know you’re not alone. Yes it’s a very stressful time and I’m sending you love and prayers 💕🙏 LindaG  ... View more
