Best of luck Redmidland keep fighting.1

The Lass had her 2nd infusion of this special chemo to which she had an extreme negative reaction so they kept her in but in the night her heart rate rose to 220 and she was transferred to ITU where she and the medical team are now fighting for her life
Glad to hear your news Malc, we must all keep fighting - sod it!0 -
Oh Lancs, so sorry to read this. Sending much love to you both. Words are difficult to find at such times.
Best wishes to you, Redmidland, and all others with their battles xx

@Redmidland and @lancashire lad, I can only echo what several others have already said. We are all rooting for you. Very best wishes.3

I was planning on being happy for RM (I guess we all know that knowing you aren't being given the full picture can make your head dwell on the worst, and when the subject is cancer, that goes into overdrive) but then Lancashire had is own wallop to contend with, so things are shite again.
All my best wishes to you, RM, Lancashire Lad and Lass, and everyone else fighting this horrid disease.3 -

Thought I would update on what happened with the oncologist this afternoon. Latest Scan showed legions just slightly bigger than when measured in January . As I didn't start chemo until May, he suspects it is smaller than when I started chemo, certainly no worse. Therefore, he thought chemo was doing its job (bearing in mind, the legion is only controllable, not curable).Agreed to continue chemo Another scan in mid-September, and then decide what to do.So probably relatively good news xx20

Hope the chemo isnt too awful for you but the end result is what counts, I guess.
Mr F has had a couple of issues recently whch are being explored via MRI scans , the latest today. Follow up appt with the Consultant in 2 weeks' time.
Hopefully might see you both at the Assembly Halls again before too long.

Some good news.
The lass, in her bed, was wheeled out of ITU and into an oncology ward. The initial scare is over but she has a long way to go, the main concern is whether she can resume her chemo as like Redman it is controllable not curative
However it is positive which is something we all need.
Redman - that is goodish news27 -
So glad to hear the lass is out of ITU. Hopefully they’ll resume chemo with one that she doesn’t have a bad reaction to. It’s a bit hit and miss with how people react to different chemotherapy but I’m sure they’ll find one that works for her xlancashire lad said:Some good news.

@redman @lancashire lad thank you so much for the updates ♥️
@Fanny Fanackapan sending love to you & Mr F xxxxx6 -
Happy for you Redman and sending my best to all those fighting this dreadful disease.
I had a scare a few weeks back where i went in for an abnormal growth/mole (no kenneth williams faces please) I assumed it would just be a looks fine but they sent me away for a month to treat with a cream to see if it looked agitated afterwards. I'm 34 with two young kids and it was incredibly worrying, very fortunate that after a month they took a look and told me it looked benign and was fine still very worrying during the time.5 -
Little update from me, saw oncologist yesterday, seems that injection and medication doing ok and have agreed to start radiotherapy in 4-6 weeks, feeling OK, my PSA has been reduced from 39 in December to 0.08, good luck to everybody on their cancer journey.26
