Hi to all,
I was diagnosed the best part of three years ago and the journey to now has been for me a combination of highs and lows with success and disappointment along the way. I have been scared and sad, angry and glad, (rhyme unintentional). I have raged against the unfairness of it all and felt incredibly sorry for myself. I have sulked and screamed and cried, with bursts of optimism and dark thoughts I would rather forget, and through it all I have on occasion forgot that this is no picnic for my wife either who has been there every step of the way. My other close family have, of course, had this to deal with but not like my wife. There will be those of you out there who will appreciate what I am saying and some who probably just haven't realised how hard it is for those close to you to deal with cancer and all its implications. It at times must be hell for her especially as she is going through the menopause! Anyway, remember to tell them that you love them and thank them and give them a cuddle, regularly!
