Cindi its so cruel how one day life is magic, were able to do the things we love. Even going to work ( i didnt really love working ) and being useful, making some money, meeting new people, just being able to have banter with my workmates, put shit on each other, you dont realise how much you miss it until its taken away. When your life is turned upside down. I feel for everyone in our situation. Its not easy. Ive been ok, due for blood tests next week, then again in another four weeks. I then have another lot of scans, and hopfully, there is some success and the radiation has reduced the size of the tumour. If not, i dont know whats next at this stage. Ive been feeling some dull pain in the top of my leg and groin near the injection site and pins and needles in my foot, also some sharp pain in my breast when i inhale. That might be some of the dose i had in my liver has made its way to my lung, which the doctor said may happen. Its still a bit of a worry though. I shouldnt complain, sounds like you are doing it a lot tougher than me. I did get some good news though, Centrelink have approved my application for disability support, so no more stressing about having no income at all. It is such a huge weight off my shoulders. Enough about me. Take care, stay positive, you will come out the other side eventually. The gym is waiting for you Cindi. I send you lots of love and a ray of sunshine. Greg xox ... View more

Hi Cindi, how did things go last week, you had to speak with the professor didnt you? Gregx ... View more

Hi Cindi,  still dont have much energy to get out and about just yet, hopefully not too far away. Sounds like youre a bit all over the place at the moment, i really feel for you. Next week sounds a bit daunting so i hope you can get through it without too many issues. You are right Cindi, were both better off than some people, especially young kids who are stuck in hospital, not knowing what a normal healthy life is. Like you, im missing the things that truly make me happy. Like going surfing. Theres nothing better than paddling out at an uncrowded beach in the early morning light, feeling the warm glow of the sun on my face. It really is my happy place. I will get back there one day.  I can understand why you too love the beach and the water. Keep your spirit up ok. Good luck next week. Talk soon, Greg ox ... View more

Hi Cindi, Thankfully the side effects have settled down, started feeling a bit better on Sunday, im finally starting to get my appetite back. Seen my specialist yesterday for a follow up and im a bit more positive about things after speaking with him. Good news is i dont need anymore treatment, just monthly blood tests and he will see me again in three months to see if theres any improvement. Its really great to not have to visit the hospital for a while, that was getting me down. How are things with you Cindi? Hope you are going ok and staying positive. Chat soon, and thankyou for your message. Thinking of you, Greg xx ... View more

hi cindi, had the SIRT treatment thursday, it was the worst day of my life. Havnt eaten or slept since wednesday, vomiting every couple of hours, and have horrendous burning pain in my liver. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. Only positive is there is no more treatment for 3 months when i will have scans done to see if theres any improvement. Have to see my doctor on monday just to go over everything. So, im not in a good place at the moment. How have you been? Hope things are going ok. Thanks for checking in, Greg xx ... View more

OMG your story has bought me to tears. Im so sorry. I will say a prayer for you and get back to you soon, i myself just got home from hospital and just got a call from interventional advising me my first treatment date is next Friday. Take care and all the best mate. Greg ... View more

Sounds like a good idea Cindi, maybe one day when were both on the mend we could catch up. Id like to meet you, and say thankyou for all your support and encouragement, its all appreciated so much. Ill keep you posted, good luck Thursday, you,ll be in my thoughts. Talk soon, Greg xox ... View more

Hi Cindi, just an update, i think i mentioned i had my work up procedure done last week, well i was hoping to start my treatment this week but not to be. I have to go back in again on Thursday so they can do it all again on the other side of the liver. Its got me thinking that maybe they cant do the treatment on the bad side, so looking for other options. So, im not in a good head space today. How are you doing? I hope everything is good with you. Have you had your big day of chemo yet? Has your infection cleared up so you can go ahead? All the best ok,  lets keep our chins up. Greg ... View more

Hi Cindi, Greg here, well i got the work up procedure done yesterday. Just at home resting up today. Thankfully this time they got me in early, i was on the table ready to go at 9.50am. The needle in the groin was no fun, and despite a bit of a loss of dignity it went well. And back home by 4.30. I wasnt put to sleep as they needed me to do breathing and holding my breath, so only really had some mild sedation. Its  amazing what they can do these days. I think you sent Jennifer a message saying you didnt get your chemo done ( it came to me too ) due to your infection? That could be a relief or a setback as you you said you were dreading it. Im dreading mine too. Hope you are well, take care, Greg xox ... View more

Thanks so much for that Jennifer, im at home resting today after finally getting it done. They got me in early, so the little voices in my head didnt get a chance to start talking to me. The procedure itself went well, the doctor seems to think it might be manageable if the SIRT treatment works. Fingers crossed. Hope you are well. Greg xx ... View more
