Hi everyone

Its been nearly two months since my last post and I dont know where the time has gone.

Christmas was great...... we went to our daughters for dinner and came back stuffed to overflowing........ Boxing Day they all came to us along with no.3 son and his partner and little girl and our latest grand-daughter and her mum.

Hubby is now having counselling with Macmillan but it doesnt seem to be helping much...could be the time of year as we have not long had the anniversary of his brothers passing.

Its also been confirmed from x-rays and a scan that our brother-in-law has a cancerous tumar on his lung. He goes in on tues for his biopsy but have already told him 6 months without treatment.

Our sister-in-law is having her bowel investigated as she has been losing blood since sept last year.

The truth is I have'nt been in the right frame of mind to come on here.....well I've looked but have had days when its been so sad I just couldn't answer anyone as I was feeling so low.

I felt that I wouldn't be of any help to anyone in their times of desperate need of support...... I am so sorry for letting all of you down. I feel awful and ashamed after having such fantastic support from so many wonderful people.

So much has been going on within the family, phone calls, visits, hospitals.......... I guess that is where the time has gone.

I was glad to see that you managed to come up for air underneath all those people that flattened you with hugs. You are having such a crap time and you must remember that we are here to share your bad moments as well as the good. We may laugh and joke, but we all hurt inside at times. And sometimes it is only our friends here that truly understand or that we can open up to.

Enjoy your good days, and spoil yourself on bad days.

With love and hugs

Brother-in-law walked out of hospital today refusing to have the biopsy............

After waiting around for 2hrs and signed all the papers, he was next to go in..... then up and out he went.

Daves sister is in bits, we know its his choice but he had been given good news that it could be removed and cleared.......now he has 6months.

I'm so upset for her......

I understand his choice, he is 71 and has had a good life. This is what he wants but its going to be hard for them both.

Oh Wifey,

After all you have to put up with, I was so upset to hear the latest news. 71 is no age these days, and after all the people on here fighting this b*****d disease, it's sad hearing of someone giving up. I was 73 when diagnosed and looked forward to more good things in life!

Sending big squisshy floor flattening hugs to you and Dave's sister.

Hubby xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OMG Shaz this will be so hard for her to understand but I can see where he is coming from. Please give them both massive squidgy hugs from me and of course you get a squidgy hug too.

There really is nothing I can say to make any of you feel better about this apart from it has to be your BIL's choice and he has to do it his way with as much support as you all can muster.

Hard and difficult times ahead but we are here for you and Dave's sis and your BIL if they need us.

Much love,

Nin xxxxx
