Massive Relief To Call A End To A Long Year

[tommyboy]

Well After My Mum's diagnosis on Jan 6th this year with Grade 4 Malignant Breast cancer at the age of 52. Today was the end of her treatment,

Started her Chemotherapy a month later.. after 5 courses (1 every 3/4 weeks). The lump was the size of a snooker ball and then some, And having started to spread into the lymphnodes. She had her operation at ARI on August 1st ( My bday ) then later on started the radiotherapy 20 doses over 3 weeks and 2 days. And finally the docter can say she has beaten cancer. Next has to go back in february for a skin check up and stuff.

such a massive relief and a weight of the family's shoulders to now after being told you possible wont see your 53rd birthday "witch is on march 3rd" to makin a full turn around.

I can only hope and pray that anyone else affected by cancer can have atleast some of the luck my mum and the family have had.

So please lads and ladies..if in doubt go the docter's . . it's amazing what they can do and the staff and nurses are so positive about it. All about recovery and not suffering. Please. . .For you ..your family,kids,parents,cousins,friends.


all the best to everyone and will have a pint later wishing anyone and everyone the same outcome


love

Tom

Glad its working out for you and your family mate. My family is badly effected by it (actually think theres something weird about where they all grew up or summit!) My mum is one of seven and theyve all had it at one stage or another. Lost four to it so far and the other three have beat it so far, including my mum. No idea how mcuh it take it outa them untill your sharing the day to day stuff with them.

Excatly what you said mate, get yourself checked reg, lumps bumps and general weirdness! Had the nurse fondling me just the other day!! Also got a triffic lip slug to raise a bit of awarness.

Again, all the best to you mate

I look after the machines that deliver radiotherapy (Linear Accelerators) for St. James' Institute of Oncology in Leeds, and see all ages of patients being treated.

It has to be said that a positive mental attitude goes a long way to aiding recovery, and it sounds like your mother has had a positive outcome. It's such a relief to relatives and loved one's when things go so well.
