Thx for that Julie 🙂 Alex has seemed to be really good after his last chemo,but every four hours wether he needed it or not I have been giving him maxolon and I think that has helped,He wanted to go to work last night for a few hours but ended up coming home early and he looked shocking,head aches.back pain,nausea and he was quiet upset that his hair is still falling out even tho its only about a mm long ,hes also got the dark rings coming under his eyes,he has to have a bloodtest today before we see oncologist tomorrow and Im going to ask for him to have a ct scan ,just to make sure nothing nasty us happening after getting the pancreatitus. Glad to hear ur having a good week,Im 40 on the 19th so we spent yesterday trying to organize a little get together at the club,only thing is Alex has chemo the day before but if he is sick I will cancel it, well better get organized for work ,trying to get a few hours in today lolgood job my boss is very understanding ,I just wish centrelink was,Im on a single parent pension so have to work at least 15 hours a week which up until 22 dec I was doing and way more now Im lucky to be doing 20 a fortnight with drs appointments,chemo and hospital stays,now I have recieved a letter from them requesting a letter from Alexs dr stating how sick he is and how this will affect me from going to work ! they have even knocked me back for a carers payment of $100 a fortnight because they reckon he wont be sick for long enough !Im glad they know how long he will be sick for because no one else does,phew thats better now thats off my chest lol Anyway you all take care and thinking of you all Juliexx ...

Hi Julie, I think u r a wonderfully calm specail lady,Alex and I saw 5 different gps and they all kept sending us home telling us there was nothing wrong with him for 7 months,yes they are only human but we trust our lives in their hands so surely they should be updated on the symptoms of different cancers,even if they have to bloody google them like we did ! Anyway hope ur having a good day take care and u know where I am if u need to chat Julie x ... View more
