Sadly he passed away 19Oct 09

1 minute read time.

Today Bill has his last shot of chemo ,he has had the Ivor Lewis op on the 29thApril 2009 plus three chemo sessions before and is now on his last session post op,what happens now? We have planed a holiday which we both are looking forward to so why am I feeling so scared ! I feel as if I am just waiting for the return trip to the roller coaster that we have been on for the last year.I am trying to smile and think positive thoughts but after all that we have been through it is really hard,I am worried that when the chemo stops the cancer will grow back quicker than it originally did even though I know the primary tumour was cut out with the op, but his lymph nodes after biopsies were found to have been infected as well, so you can see why I am so scared even with the chemo it still managed to get to the lymph nodes .Sorry for the doom and gloom but just had to give voice to my worries , I don't normally feel this way so have no idea why it has kicked off now when we should be looking forward to the future. hope all who read this are having a good day or as good as it can be .

    Hi all

    Back from holiday and found that I came back to another reality what have they done to our site I can't find anything and only just found this bit by sheer luck. Hope everybody is as well as they can be.

    Holiday was just what we needed ,sun,laughter, vino, have came back with a tan a first for me as I normally end up red and peeling, Bill has also got a tan and looks really good ,our friends who we stayed with did not let us do anything and made it a really relaxing time for him the most taxing thing he did was choose the vino lol .Ho by the way found out how to swear in French quite well every time any of our French friends came to visit us the first thing they wanted to see was his war wounds and then when he did show them all they could say was !"£$%  in French ,well people do say you learn something new everyday and that was mine he he .

    Bill has an appointment with the oncligist this morning so keep your fingers crossed .

    I am finding life really hard since he died I can't even sleep in our bed , his clothes are still where he left them the only thing that I have done is wash his pyjamas that he had on when he died, dried them and ironed them, then put them in his drawers as if he was going to wear them again. Why him, I love him so much it hurts
