i know i should go, but i so don't want to.... i am so tempted to callm them and say that the app isn't convenient.... but then last time i had to change my app for a genuine reason i got a lecture on how important the tests are etc....
i feel quite jealous of you ladies, all preparing for your lo's and i darden't even consider a name or look at baby things, it in case i jinx everything....

Alex you know you need to go. The more you know about whats going on, the better you and oh can prepare yourself to deal with. You have supported me so much while I've been trying to grab the bull by its horns. You are stronger than me, you can do it too.
The sooner this appointment comes round the better. Its less than a week away now. Is there someone who can help you with the kids when you go. Have them for you all day? Then you could treat yourself to a spot of food before you head back.
Oh hun I wish I could do more for you x

i want to go hide somewhere... i don't want to go cause i don't want to know if it is bad news again.... lo will surely be in for a tough time....
i really... really... really... really don't want to go, i so want to cancel it..... and bury my head in the sand.... i don't want to hear them say the patch on my liver is more sinister, and know in an instant that lo's fate will be decided.... although i may not be told until i see my onc again..........
i can't give permission to let any harm come to our baby, i will have to live with the guilt for the rest of my life.....
what am i going to do....
a worried stressed frightened alex and lil bear 17+3.....

thankyou hunni...... i didn't sleep good, i was coughing so much last night, but oh well atleast i didn't get up with a banging headache again, thank god...
people have said to me so many times that i don't seem to let things bother me, how do i cope with everything, all the crap i've been dealt over the last 3 1/2 yrs, and yet i'm still going... not strong but still going.... i think iwas born with to much patients, probably why i have so many children.... i'm quite a laid back person, and it takes so much for me to get angry......
well let's see if they hurry up and send me my app for the ultrasound....??? the way they are keeping me hanging about i'll be full term, by the time they've got their fingers out of their butts.... lol..... wish full thinking....
love to all...

you ladies really are a lovely bunch of mums to be..... thankyou again.....

jo hunni.. you didn't offend me, you didn't write anything that i had not already thought about..... i'd just never posted to disclose my thoughts.... i am finding myself in turmoil over all this, if i wasn't going through this i wouldn't know what advice to give to some1 else....
but i thankyou for your honesty and support, i could never have imagined that i would be going through this again whilst pg, as i never intended to have anymore babies..... but we had a little whoops a daisy and here i am 17+1 weeks pg and in a nightmare, that i wouldn't wish on any 1.....
i don't want baby to be born to soon cause of the problems that it will face, but i don't want to loose it through treatment or have it face problems such as lukemia, but i know in my heart that there is no way i could terminate... i have read about the treatments for melanomas and because they are metastatic, they use a different type of chemo, that isn't advisable to give during pg...
i just can't see a way forward without risking my life or my lo's, and i can't willingly agree to them putting my baby at risk, how could i ever forgive myself...????????

hi i am writting to appologise for affending you it was not my intention. I did not mean it to sound like i was judging you as i am in no position to do that and if i thought that was how it would have come accross i wouldn't have written anything ,all i was tring to do is to make sure you are fully informed and that you had thought about that area as no one else had mentioned it. You most definately are the bravest person i have ever come across. Again i am so sorry that i have upset you.
i am sorry but no help with the man flu other than hot honey and lemon makes me feel better but has no medicinal properties. Hope you feel better soon
sorry....

Hi Alex, god how much more can you take, I;m so sorry you are going through this. I really hope that the scan goes well for you and they can leave you passed the 24 week mark for bear to grow even bigger (must be a strong little bear if you can feel it so kicking so strong already). I don;t think you are selfish at all, you're in an impossible situation and I think you just have to go with your heart, its so hard for you to choose especially when you can feel your baby moving inside you. My heart goes out to you and I'll keep everything crossed for you, you're baby and your family. Take care of yourself, lots of love and hugs, Claire xxxxxxx

tink, ive never left a comment on your thread simply because ive never known what to say but i have been following.
all i can say to you is that i think you are probably one of the bravest women i have ever had the pleasure of reading about.
tackling a problem like the big C is hard enough and early pregnancy is full of mixed emotions but to have both at once must be the hardest thing in the world and the way you are dealing with it is remarkable.
some people may think that having you lo at 24 weeks isnt the best option, however, i think that by making the decision to give your lo the best chance he or she can have should be commended and not critisised.
some of the comments on this thread have brought more than a tear to my eye sweetheart, i think you are wonderful.
if only good wishes could make the horrible thing that is cancer disappear, you would have no worries no hunni. i just hope that after everything you have gone through and everything you are facing, you, your darling baby and your partner, all come out happy, smiling and healthy.
sending you love, luck and the best wishes in the world,
Jackie xxx

aahhhh peaches hunni thankyou....
do you think i couls sue walt disney for making people believe in magic, happy endings and fairy god mothers.... WHERE IS MINE....
hi ladies... i am worried sick, 3 days ago i started spotting first brown then pink then red. i always go by how i feel and i've still got sickness extreme tiredness and all but after 6 mc/mmc's i am worried... my gp has arranged a scan for me tomorrow, i sure hope all is well as we go away on sat..... atleast i'll know if hubby's dream came true......!!!!!
to top it off i had an app with my plastic surgeon this morning, to check my scar from the malignannt melanoma i had removed, and my lymph nodes in my groin an knee.... well all is not good....!!!!! i mentioned to him that a lump had appeared on the scarred area.... he looked at it and felt it and explained that it is exactly the sort of lump that they look for, and that it needs to be whipped of as soon as, they've booked me in for the 5th.... so they can biopsy it....
i feel like lightening has struck 2x... i was between 6-7 wks last pg when the skin clinic doctor took 1 look at my mole and told me it was coming off asap as without a doubt it was cancerous, which the biopsy confirmed...
i am scarred witless.... hubby keeps saying it will be fine... but that's what he said last time..... i know i should try to be positive, but i've been waiting 2yrs for the big C to rear it's ugly head, as they've told me that i am high risk of it spreading......
how can i relax and enjoy my holiday...????
