Yesterday saw yet another appointment, at yet another hospital…this time for me! A few months ago, I suffered from chronic face pain…it was horrible, and no painkiller could touch it. After weeks of doctors appointments etc, I gave in and submitted myself to emergency at our local hospital. Thankfully, their concern that my cancer had […]

My Friday Five – Being Grateful
It has been one of those weeks….we had some not brilliant news..my husband needs minor surgery to fix a hernia..normally not a big issue but there are a few potential higher risks due to him having had a liver transplant…plus we were told that our eldest furkid has a liver issue which could be life […]
Just another Monday at the Liver Transplant Clinic
Having a transplant does not mean everything is fixed, and you just get on with life….it is a never ending commitment, with regular checkups, maintenance and medication. Today was my husband’s regular three month check up at the Liver Transplant Unit…I have written about this before, but thought I would give an updated insight as […]

Another Day…Another Scan
My issue with headaches and face pain unfortunately still continues on…and on…. Finally saw a Neurologist last week…and the good news is that there is no sign so far of anything nasty causing my pain. It seems that as soon as my medical history is reviewed, alarm bells ring because of having cancer…that will happen […]
Taking Stock – June 2014
June has been much more pleasant in terms of health issues compared to May, however I am not completely back to 100% yet. A visit to a Neurologist on Friday has confirmed that its very unlikely that what causing my face pain and headaches is particularly nasty….ie cancer….but there is no clear reason why its […]
