♿️☘ I'm 30 & live in London. Even though I'm 7 years in remission from Osteosarcoma, I called my blog "Coping with the Big C" because I personally still struggle with the side effects of cancer treatment daily, like extreme chronic fatigue, pain and much more. It's more about Coping with the Big C in terms of my mental health because I find I struggle really hard with my mental health like depression & PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) especially related to being infertile as that has affected my mental health the most I think. The physical side of what cancer brings too can be quite hard as well but I personally find the mental health side harder for me. I want Coping with the Big C to be for everyone whose trying to cope with cancer whether physically or mentally. Coming together sharing tips and advice on how you personally cope with your cancer. Carers, family and friends with people who are going through cancer treatment are welcome here to share your views too as everyone is affected in one way or another and goes through it with the person with cancer. I also like to help promote other illnesses and medical conditions/other causes too even if not cancer from time to time whether through my blog or social media accounts. ♿️☘

"The primary bone cancer e-learning module will help GPs and healthcare professionals spot primary bone cancer symptoms sooner by providing them with the right information, in particular the ‘red flags’: Pain at rest – which may be intermittent Pain at night Reduced mobility Pain away from the joint Easy bruising Excessive tiredness Fevers or sweats Weight loss The module also recommends doctors to: Use differential diagnosis Have high index of suspicion and low threshold for possible cancer symptoms Contact the specialist bone cancer centres for advice and make referrals to these directly. The module guides learners through two detailed case studies, followed by information about how diagnosis can be sped up, and primary bone cancer treatment and possible outcomes. It also looks at the importance of reviewing late diagnoses and including observations by other health professionals to improve the diagnostic experience for future patients."
