My Health

Post by Joe_T »

Hi all it is with great regret I have to post this on here, I have spent the last few days in Bath Royal United Hospital undergoing tests and they have discovered I have got Leukemia. I have now got to decide if I should go for treatment or not, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! Don't badger me or preasure me into going for treatment it has to be my choice. My thoughts are to say sod it and have a wild party and go out with a bang but it comes down to one question. That is, if I go for treatment and decide to stop half way through will I go from bad to worse or will I have a few days of good health before I deteriate. If I do go from bad to worse if I stop treatment I will not go for treatment and basically come home to die.

Seriously sorry to hear that Joe_T.

My mother has recently come out of hospital after her treatment for leukemia after being diagnosed just before xmas. Thankfully she's over 1 hurdle and crossing everything possible on the mend.

I have made my choice and that is not to go through with treatment I have had enough of hospitals due to personal reasons I don't wish to go into now. So what does this mean for me, it means I have 4-6 weeks left inwhich to get my affiars in order which I am doing quickly. I know all of you wanted me to go for treatment but as stated above I have suffered enough and now just want the suffering to end. Not much else to say really other than this won't be my last post I will post a screen shot or 2 before I go :)

I'm sorry to hear that you've decided to not go for treatment and also sad but as you say it's your life and so your decision to make. I in part can understand your decision not go for treatment as chemo can be a very traumatic experience due to my mums recent hospital internment.

As i said above my mum recently left hospital after having 2 treatments of chemo and she said it was the worst time of her life. She got to one point that she wanted it to be all over and that she felt so weak that she just wanted to end it all. I spoke to her a day or 2 after that day and i told her that she was taking a negative attitude and that she had so many people who loved her wanted her to get better and well again. Thankfully just over a week later from that call she was feeling a hell of a lot better and was given the all clear to go home as her white cell count was better. I said to her she would get worse before she got better and she understood that.

Hopefully though my mum is on the slow road to recovery and she can still lives a full life.

You will be missed Joe_T.

Any chance for a SOTM entry before that happens.

We will miss you - a well respected 'Trainzer'.
