Hi Debs, So glad you are starting to feel better. love and hugs to you. nicky
Hi Debs,
I haven’t posted, or even been on here for a long time and you were the first person I looked out for when I came back today. You were so kind and supportive to me when my Mum was diagnosed with secondaries exactly 12 months ago this week. I think you are absolutely fantastic and I am so pleased to see you still here and posting, although so sorry to hear you are not in such good health as you were when I was last here. My Mum was doing so well with 70% reduction in her tumors in brain, lungs and knee back in July, but unfortunately since stopping chemo she has suddenly deteriorated very quickly. She too finds it hard to get up in the morning and so much effort just moving around,she sits in her chair most of the day just watching the world go by. It is extremely hard for those of us close to you to see and feel so helpless but can’t be anything like as horrible and frustrating as it is for you.
I hope you will start to feel better and stronger each day and soon be able to make it to the garden! Remember how amazing you are to have got this far.
Much love and encouragement to keep fighting,

hi debs

sometimes its easier to share things on here, than anywhere else, and with everyones prayers who knows what youll be up to next week!
many blessings x
Hi Debs
I’m glad your feeling a little bit better, a least you are now moving in the right direction now. You really are an inspiration. To be honest I haven’t been on for a while as I haven’t been very well myself for the past 6 weeks. I went on my holiday and had a fantastic time but haven’t felt well since I came home, liver functions have been all over the place, my appetite went completely and had the swine flu so not sure if the holiday was worth it on the long run.
They have decided that because I have been on steriods for so long that I need them to have an appetite so it’s back up in the middle of the night for me! However I am feeling a bit better now, although my legs are so weak now I am stuggling to get upstairs.
That’s the one reason the other reason was that I was really worried about you and kind of wimped out of facing what was really going on. I thought and prayed for you but couldn’t stand the fact that you may not be getting better. I’m really really glad you are and really hope you have a quick recovery, you are a real fighter.
Love
Diane

HI Diane,
I cannot remember how long I have been on the steroids but it was incredible how my legs just went from under me!
Although I am in bed all day every day I am getting into a routine this is how you imagine life in your 80s and not in your 50s I am only on 1 steroid a day but it knocks me out.
Sending you love and hope we can all begin to feel a bit better soon.
This is so hard on our loved ones.
Love Debsxxx
Your right it is hard on our loved ones, my hubby Eddie has been off for a month now watching the kids and looking after me. I feel guilty about the kids as well, thry are only 10 and 7 and although they really enjoyed their holiday they have been going a bit stir crazy since we got back as I have really been confined to the house - with a trip out to give blood on a Thursday morning and chemo and a Friday.
However they do make me get a grip and try and make an effort sometimes but it’s really hard when you feel so horrid. My oldest daughter Eve asked me why I didn’t laugh anymore the other day, that certainly makes me feel like getting my act together but it’s not easy.
Anyway we just have keep fighting on and get through every hurdle as it comes along and hope for better days in the future but sometimes it hard!
Keep recovering Debs

Just to let you all know today a nurse came to the house and gave me pamidronate at home I asked for it last week so nurse came and did bloods which were good so today another nurse came and gave infusion. Yesterday we had a comode delivered but I could not swing my legs and stand up but I have been put down for physio. I am really impressed with my treatment.
Hope everyone is o.k.
Love Debsxxx
hi debs, nice to see your post. that is at least an improvement on last week, when you couldnt even do that, keep up the good work, you can do it!x
Hello Debs, it’s good to hear you are being well looked after by everyone. Great news about your bloods too…hope the physio helps…if you haven’t been given one I recommend those grab stick aids (look like litter picker uppers) they are really useful for picking up things off the floor. I was given one while I was still recovering from my hip replacement. It was also a helpful aid at getting undies on and off at the time.
Take Care…both of you…x.x
So nice to see you post, Debs. Glad you are impressed by treatment you’re getting and so pleased to hear your bloods are good. Let’s keep all those lurgies at bay. Hope the physio can help with some strengthening.
Take care
love
