Just a lil' question...my onco. never uses tumour markers as he does not believe in them.....may i please have your feedback on this one?   How many of you feel supported in between scans??

Hello feel the fear,   I don't pop in here that often....how are you keeping? I really enjoy the autumn and I'm busy doing my X'mas shopping for family and friends.   You could not be more right about oncologists and pain. They should learn to be more supportive. Bad pain is bad pain. I've found myself a really decent Pain consultant and we are tinkering with my ongoing analgesia...   take eXtra special care of u.....xx..hugggs ... View more

Hello sammy/c & how do you do...,   Oh, its actually appalling..my pain left groin, under LH rib cage, upper back & lower back. I'm on 10mls morphine sulphate and 1200 mgs Gabapentin a day with a lil' relief but my pain man is overseeing futher increases in Gabapentin. I know 'that' look from my oncologist...I feel like saying walk just one day in 'my' shoes!!!....MRIs & PETs are expensive. so not used regularly.....its terrible to be in such pain in this day and age.....do KIT.....very gentle huggggs to you.....I'm seeing my G.P. on Wed......it just 'hurts'!! ...

Firstly hello  to all my friends on here,   I've been away for a while as a series of neverending appts.   I'm genuinely shocked and really saddened to hear of Moijan's passing....may i extend my sympathies and condolences to her husband, family & friends....xxx   I'm in a bit of a bother...I've had intense pains over 4 1/2 months so my oncologist ordered a CT chest, abdo., pelvis...NAD....so he spoke to me very verrry slowly as if i'm an idiot telling me i'm cancer-free 110%!! I feel so very ill & now I'm under a pain specialist....this is a tougher journey; than I'd imagined.   Owing to much slower healing after my tooth extraction, my oral biopsy will now be in early Nov.   Many thx for all your kind messages. I'm genuinely touched that u remembered me....   love & hugggs to all....   silver..xxoooo ... View more

Mine was the last post b4 the big quiet so I thought I'd killed off the thread.....maybe i'm just too sensitive....They found some lesioins in my mouth so its biopsy time ...again....xx ... View more
