Cancer, Brain and KGH

Saturday the day before Easter, we had a wonderful dinner and gifts for the kids and girlfriend and boyfriends for our older kids so we were very very busy, all prepared. We planned a turkey, ham and corned beef. Full dinner and the kids could take stuff home. Chocolate and Easter gifts for the kids and Peter. I stopped speeching and Easter ruined. Thankfully Peter handed most of the Easter hugs went to his kids and himself. (Ashlee' stuff still here)

So off to KGH on our own, I am thinking now we would have done Ambulance. We ended waiting room in KGH forever while Ambulances went ahead. I don't remember everything but I know for 2 days I could not speak. Finally went to a room at the hospital,

I can't tell you everything because I don't remember everything. I do remember Dr Owen (Radiation) and Dr Anna Toniak (Cancer) He came up once, she came up 2x. I also met Dr Cook Dr surgery and we are going to see him in 3 weeks. Next week I am having an XRAY Tues Apr 21,,,,week after that Dr Cook at HDH hospital and then Wednesday Pamidronate on Wednesday and visit to Dr Tomiak (cancer). Peter wants to go to both appointments April 27 and 29. I forget so much so he listens to my appointments.

Dr Cooks may be discussing surgery in my brain. I am terrified. I am not sure with this situation for the first time in 5 1/2 YEARS I have dealt with every medical discussion but with this I am scared and shocked.

On Wednesday the Pamidronate comes once a mount to remove the needle and Michelle is wonderful, can't wait to see her. She works for CCAC.

My life feels like it's everywhere. I hope I can continue and for some reason I am so scared I just don't know what to do.

At this moment I am taking the following medication:

1 needle of Fragmin 75,000 once a day
1 needle of Fragmin 10,000 once a day (both needles in my tunny)
Dexamethosone -- 2 - 4mg in the morning and 2- 4mg at night
Valproic Acid 250 mg - 2 in the morning -- 2 in the evening
Vesicare - 5mg to control my pee

If I have pain  anywhere I will take 2 Extra strength Tylenot and/or perscription Hydromorphone 1mg or 4mg offers

I am allergic to things like NSaids and others that I cannot think of.

Dr Owen Radiologist http://oncology.queensu.ca/divisions/divisions/radiation_oncology/tim_owenDr Owen

Don't really know Dr Cook yet.



Please keep me in my thoughts.

  1. Lots of ((hugs)) & love, Velda. Dave had brain surgery several years ago--very scary & different than what you might have, but the surgeons are very skilled & everything turned out well :). I had a co-worker once who had brain surgery that's probably closer to what you might have--again the surgeons were very skilled & things turned out well for him also. You are always in my thoughts & prayers <3

  11. You are always in my prayers Velda. My mom's brain surgery was the easiest "procedure" she's had so far. You've been through so many things -- I have no doubt you will do well with whatever they throw at you next. ((HUGS))

  16. Cancer cells evolve and create ways to evade the body’s natural guards. But, so do we! Experts always find a way to counter cancer-causing cells. And luckily, the group of experts at Live Longer Labs successfully blended C60 and black seed oil, two researched-backed substances that have been found to contain anti-cancer properties. This combination helps counter the development of tumor cells by neutralizing the potential risks caused by unstable molecules to help protect the body. Know more about them here:
