What a day, I am anxious that my MS symptoms seem worse today. I really hope I'm not going into a major flare.
Then the worry is that if I do go into a major flare will it put a stop to my WLS planned for Oct/Nov. It never seems to fail, after working for 8 months to get approved and set a surgery date, feeling good all that time, now that they have given me a dat...wammo, gu...

Well today is my 43rd year on this earth. I woke this morning feeling rather listless - really didnt want to do much of anything at all - but after an hour I took a shower blew my hair dry and rode into the office. I feel now like there is a weight on my chest and on the verge of tears - I dont know if I am missing Barry or just feeling lonely - Funny how you can feel isolated in a ro...1 Recommendation3 Comments

I am 9 days out from my surgery. All went just as Dr said. He removed the small tumor (2 1/2) and part of my lower left kidney. He did it with the Davinci machine because he said there would be less pain and less invasive. Not sure about that less pain part, I'd hate to see more pain. When the tumor was found accidently during a test on my gallbladder, the ...1 Recommendation2 Comments

I can't believe it has been 6 months since my surgery. I am having my CT on Tuesday and I am very anxious. I want to know the results but I am scared. My margins from my surgery were not clear even though they took my kindey and all my nodes. I am scared of the outcome. I know I just have to give this to God and let him have control. I have 2 small children (3 and 10 mon...1 Recommendation2 Comments

Well we finally have had a telephone call from our oncologist and unfortunately the news is not good. The lung tumours are continuing to grow and my husbands prognosis is not looking good. There has been growth in the last two months whilst taking sutent. Also unfortunately there is no other option for us at this stage. We will continue with sutent, in hope that the drug i...1 Recommendation2 Comments

Today is my precious Ray's birthday. What a blessing to still have him! We had a wonderful surprise party for him last Saturday night. I do believe we pulled off the "surprise", which made it especially wonderful.
It is also the two year anniversary of Ray's right nephrectomy. Where did that time go? He told me last night that he...1 Recommendation1 Comment -
I'm feeling a bit panicky this morning. I think this is all due to waiting for the scan results, though before he had it I'd convinced myself that it really made no difference at this stage, and we couldn't hope for any good results yet anyway. All linked back to the fact that last time he had a scan, it was just a week before we got the very worst news we could ever have expected to ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Well this Friday is D Day for us, after 10 weeks of torisel treatment, my husband will be having more scans and then a decision will be made regarding further treatment. If the scans show no improvement or growth stoppage this treatment will be ceased. This treatment at present is the last option. How do you prepare in case it is not good news? We have not had a good run w...1 Recommendation3 Comments
