My Friend Trish (liver cancer lady) (35)
Claayer: I can't find the other blimmin thread..
For those of you who already know the rest..
A quick update.. her husband called me today to tell me Trish had been taken into hospital with a suspected heart attack.. and that they have postponed starting chemo.
I spoke to her briefly .. she is feeling like 'crap' .. and said that the doctors have told her there is no cure (which we knew).. but that without treatment she may have up to three months.. (remember the lady I said I looked after last summer.. they gave HER 3mths.. she lasted 5wks)
Anyway... they've said with treatment.. if it goes as well as it can.. then she could have up to 12mths left.
I sent her the complete set of Seinfeld to keep her busy.. (she loves that).. she text me.. saying 'OMG are you mad! that's $230!'
I said.. 'You ALWAYS knew I was mad you silly moo' Anywayyy.. I'm planning to go and see her in a few weeks when I go to meet Mr McMaybe.
She was giving me some advice on painting my nails.. (and men) haha
Then she said.. 'What are you going to dooo without me Claire?'I said.. 'I don't know'

How sad 
She is obviously really suffering physically and also upset emotionally too
What a nightmare for her, her family and you

Zellarrone1: Noo, I know you're not really laughing. Although I think us laughing when things are bad is just another way of letting our emotions out and if we didn't laugh then we'd be crying.
Sounds as if she's going into the acceptance mode then now. Think first one is denial then is it acceptance. can't really remember exactly now.
I can understand her not wanting to be resuscitated too.
Is she going to have the treatment and try and live longer than the 3 months with no treatment? Not sure which choice I would make if it were me in that situation to be honest.
It'll be sad when you go to see her in a few weeks too but you'll be strong

She hasn't decided whether she wants the treatment or not yet.. she is going to wait and see what the first few chemos are like for her, and decide then.
They have just given her the chemo tablets to start taking.. but she needs to do the hospital/injection part yet.
you are right about the laughing.. if we didn't laugh we wouldn't stop crying.
It was such 'forced' humour today from both of us.. (we ALWAYS laugh!)... But today you could hear it wasn't real from either of us. It was very strange really.
Someone emailed me the other day .. and was telling me that they had been in a similar situation.. and that they did this too.. until they both just gave in and bawled their eyes out together.
So I think perhaps we till just get around to that in a few weeks when I see her.
Thank you Zell

Helloo Gilly..
I don't know what it's like to have chemo.. (personally - THANKFULLY!).. it can effect people differently.. some people it can make them very sick and nauseous.. diarrhoea.. hair loss.. mouth ulcers.. exhaustion .. anaemia.. messes about with your bone marrow.. and it whacks your immune system hard.. so you can end up catching any ole bug that's going around.
They might get all or only some of those things..
She not into spiritual healing.. but she is a big believer in God.
I have just finished speaking to her again, she has just had a bath because she feels frozen to the bone.. she has just taken her first 'Chemo pill' and is going to try and get some sleep.
she said.. 'You need to get to bed Claire!'
I said.. ' I KNOW!.. I'm dying here!'
What an IDIOT!
Funnily enuff.. she didn't even seem to notice I said it.
