Today I'm on a downer

Less than one minute read time.

Well I've been awake since 3am nothing new there and have had all sorts going through my mind. First I was thinking about Danielle, hope she is back home soon and gets a treatment plan on Monday. Then I started to think about my family and how it has been affected by cancer. Here is a summary:

Aunty - Leukaemia - died

Grandfather - Lung - died

Uncle - Bone, primary unknown - died 6 weeks after diagnosis

Cousin - Bowel - died

Brother - Pancreatic - died 4 months after diagnosis

Brother-in-law - Liver, primary unknown - died 18 months after diagnosis

Mother-in-law -Bowel - sucessful surgery, 5 years cancer free March 2010

Me - Bowel - successful surgery, now undergoing chemo

Dear God, please let a cure be found soon, before it takes more people that I love. Feeling totally fed up of this cruel disease. Shedding a few tears this morning.

Sorry folks, just had to get that off my chest.

    Hi Angela, sorry to hear you have been feeling down. Glad you are now more cheerful.

    I understand the lack of sleep thing, I have the same problem, sleeping pills haven't helped and I am exhausted. The nights are so long aren't they and then when it's time to get up the days are boring. But hey ho, we are glad just to be here, bored or not.

    Keep your chin up, take care. Love and hugs. Debbie.xx

    Danielle and Debbie, thanks for your support. I don't often get a down day, but when I do, I really get one. Thankfully I managed to get back on track fairly quickly with the help of all my lovely friends on here. Thanks everyone.
