BS: Zany Mouse update

Hi fellow Catters

Just to let you know that stage 2 of treatment began this week. Painful and uncomfortable, but I think it is very positive. It seems a long time ago since I was diagnosed (just before Easter) with bone cancer but I've always felt I could beat it - and I will. I'm sure all the positive thoughts from you lot have helped both the illness and my ability to cope with it.

I'm on steroids now which are helping with the pain tremendously. Not sure of the side effects - blow up to 50 stone? Grow a penis? No idea, don't care - THEY WORK.

I went over to Martin Mwyndham-Read's place last week and I can honestly say it was one of the best weeks of my life. Recharged my batteries in all respects. Look out Folk Scene - I'm back!

Thanks again for all the lovely emails and PMs, thoughts and blessings.

Luv to all

Rhiannon

Zany - Take care. I'm sure cancer is a bitch but at least you're able to take some action. About steroids - I was perscribed some once and I noticed a weakness in my hands. They were pretty well useless for a couple of days. Anything like that on your end ? I'm sure it would be a small price to pay if it helps you get better.

We're thinking of you. Best of luck. And follow the doctors orders.

Hi Wesley. The cancer is in the bones of my left hand so that hand is pretty screwed up anyway. I haven't noticed any other side effects from the steroids apart from wonderful, fabulous pain relief. I think I would pay ANY price for that.

How are your hands now?

No lingering effects. It just lasted a day or two. I can play just as poorly as I ever did. You will too I'm sure.

Hang in there! Yes, you may well put on weight with steroids but what the heck if they make you feel better overall.

Lots of love and hugs,

Thinking of you Rhiannon. My daughter was on steroids last year and ballooned but at soon as the treatment was reduced she lost it all so don't worry its only temporary and if it works who cares.Love to you

Hi Zany,
Kindest thoughts to you, We are all willing you well it seems, just remember if you do have a weight gain with steroids, there is just more of you to hug - and at least you have an excuse, I, sadly am just overweight!!!!!!
Blessings, courage and happiness be yours,
Love, Lucy
