well ladies....what a rollercoaster its been (thought I was done with that ride!!)

since the surgery and seizure, a week later I had a 2nd seizure, not quite as bad as we had some meds to slow it down. A consult at Peter Mac to see what our options were.

About 10 days later we're told to be at Western Private in Footscray for 3 weeks of whole brain radiotherapy.

Developed a clot in my left leg throughout this time, so started clexane injections now oncologist here tells me im on it forever :(

home again now, recovering..steve is taking great care of me, he is my drug lord, door bitch and caring nurse..i could never do any of this without the huge effort he contributes for me..trying to do as im told and rest at the same time-not always easy!!

hoping all of u reading this is well and feeling great

xxxxxxxx

    Hi Sam, Wow! It has been such a rough few months.

    But glad to hear you are getting through it with the support of Steve.

    It sounds like all you can do is rest up for the moment until the next steps.

    Sending you big hugs.

    I had hoped to hear from you that you were off that rollercoaster ride - you must get so fed up and yet you seem so strong.You are amazing and so is your husband.They should hand out medals for such good men.I hope the latest radiation has done the job,shame about collecting a dvt along the way-as if you haven't had enough to cope with. You can but only rest now and hopefully,be feeling much better real soon.Sending"well"wishes and hugs.

                                       love Tonya xx

    hi Sam

    Glad you are home and can enjoy some rest.

    Clexhane is doable...Ive been on it for 51/2 years now. Just think of it as another thing to do... like cleaning your teeth each day.

     

    Good luck

    Hi Samantha, Nice to hear you are home. Hope the Radiation helps.

    You are an inspiration to me, but you have had enough to deal with.

    So glad you have support at this time. I am sure you would reciprocate if you could.

    Sending, love and wishes, Kathy.
