Chemo Chemo Hi there and thanks once more for your replies. From next week I`ll be getting heparin injections instead of the warfarin since the chemo would mess it up and it looks like it`s going to be like that through the whole treatment. I`ll also be getting blood taken to check my blood...

It`s tomorrow It`s tomorrow Thank you all very much for replying and sharing your own experience with me. Joe`s taking time off work to go with along, but I didn`t have to ask. I`ll also take 1mg of lorazepan when I wake up as the appointment is at 10:30. The reason why I`m more aprehensive...

That`s sad! That`s sad! I`ve just come across this thread Gina, and I`m so sorry to hear of your brother-in law`s passing. How`s your sister coping? I`ll remember her and your family in my prayers. Debora

I`ve had to go to doctors` so many times in my life I`ve even lost count, and I`ve always found it easier if I have someone to go along, especially if there`s the risk of getting unpleasant or worrying news. However, ever since I moved to Scotland it`s not been easy to get someone to go with me...

I had a TEE once back in 1995 and although I was sedated I can remember a few things, and the same happened again a couple of weeks ago when I had my bronchoscopy. I suppose you`ll have to ask the doctor the name of the surgeon you`ll have to see now. Keep us posted. Debora

Not easy at all! Not easy at all! That`s really frustrating, but please, don`t give up!! I`ve been having some health issues myself but I must say that the doctors who are on the case have been second to none. They want to explore every possibility before they`ll be satisfied. In case you...

Hi everyone! First of all sorry I never posted to let you know how the wedding went and all that, but I`ve had a few health issues since then and I was trying to get them sorted out first. Anyway, it was a beautiful day and guess what!? My mum came over from Brazil and spent 20 days here. My...

Bonny will always be among us Bonny will always be among us It`s been a week already since Bonny`s funeral but I just couldn`t bring myself to write anything as until this moment, I still can`t think of ay words I could say to even remotely describe the impact her passing has had on me and our...

Debrinha GT Debrinha basically means little Debora, but nothing to do with size though. In Portuguese people usually get that sort of thing as a nickname. Take our famous Brazilian soccer player who plays for Barcelona for instance. His name is Ronaldo but everyone calls him Ronaldinho. G...

Hi everyone! Just a couple of lines to let you all know that I`ve asked Ross to change my username to Debrinha GT so you`ll no longer find me under deboraginastewart. Thank you Ross!! Debrinha:)
