Notes from the fog...

I'm still here. Somewhere here. In the middle of writing a couple of entries which I was waiting for some info to complete.

In the meantime Sutent has done its worst again and every joint in my body is on fire again. I cant walk. Hands and feet and legs are swollen. Started radio therapy which will carry on next week. The pain was unbearable last night.

Martin rang MacMillan this morning - stop Sutent and take as much Oromorph as I need. Which is a lot at the moment. Pain is easier but I feel totally spaced out now. Lips are numb.

Anything else I write will be garbled nonsense so I wont.

Im still here but I feel as if Im holding on by my fingertips right now.

Oh Jane. I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you can get back on an even keel asap. Try and get as much rest as possible until things settle down for you. Keeping you, as ever, close to me. Sending big cuddles and a kiss from me to you. Love Pam. xx

Hello You, Hang in there Jane - we are all with you - why does everything sound like a cliche. I wish I was closer to give you a hug. This for a smile; I had a stand up "discussion" with Andy Burnham at the Labour Party Conference, followed by a personal invite to a meeting - we are going to do this Jane - we will make a difference. luv as ever Rose W

Jane, So sorry that you having such a bad time just now but with your spirit and all our good wishes YOU WILL get better v.soon. I have not commented before but I have been following your progress since Dec 07 when I was diagnosed with Advanced metastic RCC and feeling so shocked - reading your blog has given me strength and fortitude-I am under Prof Tim Eisen at Cambridge and between you and him, oh and Sutent, I have resolved to keep fighting - I hope if nothing else my thoughts and prayers help you to get strong asap. With much love Jean T xx
