    It's been a long time since my last blog and sadly, this is my last blog.

    My lovely, uncomplaining husband passed away on 25th Oct. 2010.

    He fought so strongly for eighteen months, way past the anticipated time that the Drs. had given.

    Now, I'm totally lost. I can't think straight, I can't do anything, I miss him so much. The hurt is so great that I can't stop crying. Dear God, help me please.

Also, he has involuntary movements in his arms and legs to the point where a cup of tea can get flung into the air and his legs just crumble…

    Well, my husband had his 10 days radiotherapy in Dec.09 (not Nov.as I said previously) which he sailed through  with only minor tiredness.

    Christmas and New Year were spent very quietly, on our own. How difficult it is to make conversation when both are watching the same television programmes and only talking to the MacMillan Nurse every ten or so days.

    The only follow-up appointment my husband has is with the Oncologist…

    It's been a long time since my last blog but life has been too horrendous to write about, not just for me but for anyone reading. So for all our sakes, I'm just going to write this quickly so that I don't have to think too much

    My husband got to his 3rd Cycle of chemotherapy, had an MRI, and the chemo was stopped as it just wasn't working. More fear.

    Then twice, 999 in the middle of the night with…
