RE: Great Quotes by Great Men~

yeah

My best (RL) USA buddy...

Arrghh..

Outside of the West, the usual outcome is poor, because only 10 - 20% of hepatocellular carcinomas can be removed completely using surgery.

If the cancer cannot be completely removed, the disease is usually deadly within 3 to 6 months.

This is partially due to late presentation with large tumours, but also the lack of medical expertise and facilities. This is a rare tumor in the United States.

Except to the pub! Let's go! (I could use that too now)

My best (RL) USA buddy...

Arrrghh!.. I've been trying to avoid thinking about this all morning (hence the playing about on the threads)...

My best friend Trish.. 'liver cancer lady'.. (thats her on my profile with me)

(Please read the first post if you want a quick catch up)



Anyhoooo..

She has been to the cancer clinic now.. (yesterday)...

She called me in floods of tears last night.. (She is a VERY strong feisty stubborn woman)

Telling me that she had gone for her appointment with husband and her sister (a nurse)

She says that the doctor has told her that it is a primary cancer, and that it is VERY aggressive and moving much faster than they could have anticipated.

near the end of October (when they discovered a 'mass') it was 7cm big. (already too big for some treatments)..

in the last week of December it was two thirds of the size of her liver.

and yesterday.. (Jan 11th) I forgot what she said (I was too busy crying).. but it's even bigger again.


It is now in it's 'advanced stages' and it has now also spread to her Lymph nodes.

They said the type of cancer she says is normally seen in Asia (and somewhere else, I forget now).. usually effects more men than women.. Heavy drinkers.. often seen in people with Hep C and/or Cirrhosis of the liver. (apparently)

None of which apply to her.


They say because it has spread to her lymph nodes there is no longer the option of a liver transplant. (as it will only still be around in the nodes)

Her husband asked.. what the success of surviving was..

and the doctor said.. 'It's very poor'

They said if she were older they wouldn't really be trying anything now..

But they are going to try on on big doses of Chemo .. with the possibility of shrinking away enuff past the main veins of the liver.. enuff to cut it OFF. (but they say it's a very small chance) although they have suggested that they may try out some new treatments on her.. a la guinea pig.

She has a *Team meeting* on this Tuesday 15th coming.. and her first course of Chemotherapy on the 22nd. (THREE F*CKING MONTHS After all the initial tests!!)

She says she already feels so ill.. and that she can't stop crying.. neither can her husband . mum.. and sisters. (she is ALWAYS the strong one in a *Situation*)

She said on the drive home in the car her husband started to cry and couldn't stop..

She says she had to beg him too.. because SHE needed to cry instead and needed him now.



Anywayy.. I don't even know what to say.. I'm stunned and devastated (and yes.. I will be going over as soon as she needs me)

Thats for everyone who has so kindly cared to know what was happening. Thank you! Oo hey! and I told her (last time) about this thread and good wishes and prays.. and she was/is so grateful.



Anyway.. enuff bloody crying.. I need to have a laugh now.

Ermmm a Muther Flower silly!

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

Oo yeah that's a great way to think of it Flower..

I thing falling in love 'truly' is a slow grown process.. that's what makes it different from falling in (speedy) lust.

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

YOU M****R F****R!!

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

I think I might

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

yeah so I can pull it out and make a run for it..

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

Yeah.. if I couldn't find *IT* .. then I would carry on my own merry way of singledom.. (which I enjoy very much).. I already have my life sketched out as a single person..

actually.. so finding *It* would throw a spanner in the works for me..

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

Oo I totally agree.. it's just a matter of whether I would ever meet someone who can handle all of MINE.

I think nowadays.. I've become to much of a handful for most men. haha

A bit TOO .. lively/feisty/passionate/talkative/opinionated and (situation) analytical.

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

RE: who's taken and who's not taken

RE: who's taken and who's not taken

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

yeah... and preferably that neither of you has *Morning Breath*

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?

I want to be totally comfortable being 100% ME... and someone loving me FOR that.. not someone judging me because I sometimes talk too much.. or get too excitable.. or like to be serious and quiet sometimes.

I don't to to be feeling like I shouldn't say/do something...

not being honest to myself.

I could NEVER do that again.

RE: Whats the most exciting part of a new relationship ?
