Helen I too must have missed your post about your last year comment. I would like to reasure you through on how wonderful the extra support can be from the hospice they have been amazing support to me and continue to be so even though I'm home now. Does this mean you have had further progression to the brain? Much love Tracy xxxx ... View more

So sorry to hear of Lulu 😪 . Just thought I'd check in it's been a while. I've read some of you have been struggling and I've also been in the hospice for a few weeks recovering from just one round of Cape! Apparently 3% of people can't tolerate it and it looks like I may be one of them but plan is to try on reduced dose when I'm strong enough again. Hope you're feeling much stronger now Helen xxxx ...

Hello ladies I'm home from hospital got called in for urgent rads on Friday. Rads went well but seem to have upset something whilst brushing my teeth of all things and went from having much better nights sleep to being in a lot of pain around my ribs. I think it's refered from by back but did also end up vomiting Friday night. Also wanted to ask if anyone has had itchy skin related to liver mets? Still awaiting results of ct scan but read about this recently and I have been quite itchy over last few days. Thanks Hope everyone has a good weekend. Xxx ... View more

Morning ladies well just had a call from my BCN and my bone scan is showing further spread in the upper spine.

Good luck today Helen and others awaiting results today xxx ... View more

Just wondering if anyone has had problems with teeth after chemo? Went to dentist last week prior to starting Denusomab as I had a niggling pain in a couple of teeth. After the 2 FeC I had last October I had noticed a change in my bite it felt as if one of my front teeth had dropped. Well the dentist said my bite had changed or there wasn't one and proceeded to grind my teeth to create a new one as it would cause allsorts of problems if it wasn't done. Well the niggling teeth and jaw ache I had have definately been better since, I have to go back for some more in a couple of weeks. But I was wondering if I should be asking to be refered to mfu at my hospital as today my other front tooth is feeling strange and I've only been on Cape for a week? ... View more

Hello spring summer I was advised by my palliative nurse that first trying regular doses of paracetamol and ibuprofen are best particularly for bone pain but you do have to take full daily dose. If this isnt enough then MST or slow release morphine can help. Also might be worth asking if radiotherapy would be an option for the back pain it can be very effective. Cocodamol can cause constipation. If you do try the paracetamol and ibuprofen also ask for omeprozole to protect your stomach. Hope this helps. X ... View more
