That would be lovely Katie. Can you email to me? Yes, I am washing too and there is only the two of us at home, but it multiplies daily don't you think? By the way, I am in Penrith NSW. ... View more

Hello, I had four tattoos in my pelvic area. I thought they were permanent, but I cannot see them now. I am sure that if I went under the "bright lights" then they would show up. A friend had tattoos for her breast cancer treatment and after a few years you can still see her markings. ... View more

Good luck for Thursday. Best wishes, Bev ... View more

Hello, Well it is three years in June since I was diagnosed with my uterine cancer. I have been regularly having my three monthly check ups with my gyno oncologist and for the next three monthly my radiation oncologist. I am now on six monthly visits, which means I will only see each of them once a year. I might be strange, but I really look forward to my check ups. I treat it like a challenge. I only have the internal examination and also one done with the speculum. Oh, and every year I have a colonoscopy. I feel good when I see them, because I feel that if any cancer is present then I can catch it early. Am I strange for feeling like this? By the way I have been told that I have HNPCC which is inherited cancer syndrome. Let's all show Mr Cancer that he can't rule our lives forever. ... View more

Hard to reply to everyone's comments. So many. Would like to just to wish everyone some encouragement, you are all so strong. Reading through people's stories, makes you appreciate your own experiences. Gee, I had stage 2 uterine cancer and lucky enough that I got through that ok, though there are a few issues now, not with the cancer itself but the after effects. They explain to you what can happen, but of course they couldn't cover everything. I will be offline for a few weeks, going into hospital today to have a right knee replacement tomorrow. ...

Hello again, Sorry, have had other things on my mind, and not checking on the forum as much as I used to. I am going into hospital on Tuesday for a right knee replacement. Mum is still the same, except last week she rang and was so excited. Self medicating, she gave herself 3 coloxyl some prunes and some stone fruit one night. Well, 2:30 in the morning she was taking herself off to the toilet. Success. As Mum says the best "shit" she has had in ages. The doctors still reckon (or so Mum says) that there is nothing they can do for her. Mum doesn't want any medical procedure done really as she has been told (again what she has told me), that the doctor reckons she could bleed to death. What do you do? Mum doesn't live close to us (almost an hour and a half away). Sometimes and this might seem cruel I kinda think that she doesn't get the whole story from the doctor. I also think sometimes that she has just given up on life, she told me last night that she has had a good life, a lovely daughter (that's me), 5 lovely grandchildren (3 of them are mine) and 5 great grandchildren (they are all my grandchildren). All she wants to do is meet up with my dad again. Dad passed away with bowel cancer 18 years ago. Sorry, does this sound confusing? Anyhow, hope everyone is well. Be back in contact in a few week's time. ... View more

Hello everyone, Yes, I am on facebook too. It is a good feeling on here when we can vent our anger on Mr & Mrs Cancer. I have just come home from my gyno oncologist appointment, he is very pleased and so am I. Next appointment to him will be this time next year, but radiation oncologist in July. It will be 3 years in July, and honestly apart from my knee problem and a few other little nigglies, I feel great. People remark on how healthy I look. Mind you, I didn't have chemo just radiation. This time next week I will be packing my bag for hospital as I have my knee replacement done on the Wednesday, but will go in on Tuesday. Keep up the good vibes and encouragement everyone. love Bev ... View more
