I keep getting logged out of the site everytime i want to visit the home page. Plus when i am not logged in the blogs and forum posts that are listed are not the same as when i do log in. Perhaps they are updating the site in some way. Hope you are feeling better now larn ... that sort of an allergic reaction can be a bit tricky so good thing you did go via ambulance. :) ...

I have to say that i also have had a positive experience with this last bout of cancer. Also with my first bout and then when i was diagnosed with ms it was the same. Perhaps i am just one of the fortunate few. :) I cannot comment on the USA medical system but my aunts in the uk dont seem to have too many problems and my uncle recently has had to have extensive treatment for a problem he has had and hasnt had to wait for treatment.

I agree that there are hospitals that have the multidisciplinary approach, although, not all. I found it was easy enoughh to access though as my hospital didnt have those facilities under one roof. It is harder but doable i found. Oh to live in an ideal world? :) Julie ... View more

Hiya Joanna Firstly i dont subscribe to the "i have a problem worse than yours" a problem to someone is a problem, simple!! So, dont feel guilty because it is what you are feeling in the hear and now and that does not mean that is the person that you are and it does not mean you will stay feeling and thinking that way. I can relate to feeling guilty re your child. When I was diagnosed with my first cancer my son was only 11 weeks old and due to operations and scans etc... i was unable to continue breast feeding and day to day caring of him. It did pass and as tmie went on I was able to do more and more. Give your baby a kiss and a cuddle. 🙂 I think the thing here for me was that "i would if i could, but i cant" so i had to get my head around that. I had cisplatin and i think that drug is used for a lot of cancers and its not much fun. The being sick isnt much fun either and i ended up in hospital for 4 days after one chemo, so that meant a whole week of hospital just for one chemo which was pretty ugh at the time! I did offer a fellow cancer patient my spare spew bags, which he declined. lol Hope you start to feel better soon and talk to the onco's cos they are marvellous at changing drugs that help lots. Suki is prolly having a ball at day care, kids get so much interaction there and there are benefits. Try not to worry too much, which as a mum is difficult i know. I still worry about my son with all of this and he is 21 now. Julie xo ... View more

Hey teach! You and me both! Hope you have a fantastic time away and your trip sounds like its going to be particularly great. Oh and i keep forgetting to tell you and samex about a time when i got out of hospital. It was at my son's 21st and the young boy (15) from down the road was there. He commented to me that he was very sad when one of his teachers was diagnosed with cancer and he felt that way when he heard about me also. I thoght it was amazing that he bothered to say anything to me and the fact that he could articulate re his teacher too. :) Have fun teach. Julie ... View more
