Hi How is everyone doing especially Ishbel?
I'm doing pretty good. Has anyone heard from Vicki?
Cathy

Hi Cat

It has been quiet on site hasn't it. Vicki has been sick for a few weeks,needed to have a catscan and some medication for an infection, hopefully she is on the mend now.
I myself have been ill with a bad cold, I seem to catch anything that is going around at the moment, I think because I am feeling so low at the moment, I don't have the energy to fight off infection.
All this waiting is getting to me, my mould appointment is on the 23rd Dec, I am dreading that after hearing everyone else's thoughts on it.
But it has to be done eh?

Best wishes
Tracey

Hello Tracey,
I have been thinking about you. Hello to Cat as well. Things have seem to have just come to a halt on here. It is kind of scary. Where has everyone gone? Or is this just me? Damm they are certainly making you wait long enough aren't they? Trust me you don't want this anyway? LOL!!! That is the TRUTH!. I am praying that you will have NO side effects from this.
ALways Vicki

Hello Cat, Tracey, Vicki
(Killing three pretty birds with one stone. ot literally I hope...)

Well Cat, THINGS HAVEN'T CHANGED SINCE i TOLD YOU ABOUT THE OESOPHAGUS WORRY. i AM WAITING FOR A DATE FOR THAT ONE. Sorry fr caps. There will be a lot of poking about so if only I could get my strength up but for that you need food glorious food. Sigh. But how are YOU?

Tracey I'm afraid one of the legacies of this kind of cancer, not a fatal one but really vexing, is being open to all the germs goind. As I speak I am juist back from the doctors' surgery--I HATE going there too often--but I had to get a top-up of antibiotics for this terrible amount of saliva I have every morniong coupled with a bad sore throat.

Dear Vicki, you know all about that do9n't you! You have just had the most terrible tikme withthat bad infection. I hope your swellings have started to go down now. You can do without that. I think people are around just the asme but just not writing so much. I think it depends where your computer is!
Mine is up in my bedroom so I don't usuaslly contribute until I am beside my truckle bed. A 'truckle bed' by the way was first heard of by me in a poem I used to read to my children qwhen they were very small and it reduced us all to to tears. I kid you not it still does.
For payment of a small fee..an extra spoon of Demarara sugar I will write it for you some time.
Regards to all Ishbel

vicki lynn
the wait is purely my fault,treatment should have started 3weeks ago once the biobsy came back, but stuburn as I am I decided to finish off my commitments with my work till end of year.
Much to the annoyance of alot of people, but I must say as the days go by, I wonder whether I am doing the right thing! prolonging the inevitable,and then I think that if my voice is going to go then I want to do the best I can while I have it.

best wishes to you
Tracey

Sorry to hear that you'all aren't feeling so wonderful. Especially, now with the holidays on the way. I hope things get better for you Tracey, and Vicki. Please keep me posted. I get sort of lonely at this time of year.

Sorry Ishbel, I forgot you. Hope all get's better for you. I appericate hearing from you.
Cathy

How are you tonight Ishbel? I'm doing okay.
I wish it would snow. I would love that before
Christmas. What do you do for the Holiday's?

Hi everyone, have not been on line, as lack of energy, am trying to run my business and it is proving quite hard,as if I do too much one day the next two I am out for the count. Still no SALIVA so have to carry a bottle of water every time I venture out.

Hi Garance, Yes, I remember those days with the
water bottle. I still don't have the energy the
Raynauds keeps me next to the heating pad a lot.
I would like to see some snow this Christmas.
Glad to hear that you are doing okay.

Garance I still always carry water with me. Never ever go out without it. But now I use it less. So time........time....

Hi Garance, Paulene is right I have very thick
salvia now don't need as much water as I did in the past.

Hello every one, oh for a bit of spit, I was in the Kin's road chelsea post office, bought stamps, and asked for the sponge, bone dry and the guy was angry with me, I said I had no spit and he thought I was being difficult; so I announced thought cancer, just to make him feel like a heel.

well Garance I have a reprieve for one month from the Maxiollfacial MUST be xmas

Have not heard from Vicki for some days I am a bit worried

Happy Christmas
Hello everyone, Hi Paul, I will be in Charing Cross this Thursday 16th and I pray it will be good news to carry me into 2005, and I will be keeping you all in my thoughts over this Happy period when the human race is force feeding itself; I really do feel that we are all on a much higher plain, like monks and nuns on megre slops in medieval times.I do have to ask, what have we all done to have had such a rough ride; why were we all chosen, by whom, something good has to come out of all this pain, your comments and thoughts, Please ?????
