&lt;p&gt;I have just seen my first blog and its looks so depressing, sorry!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Normally can control myself better than that. So lets start again...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lets hope 2010 brings hope, comfort and peace to all of the Macmillan community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beware the black dog&amp;nbsp;of depression, as my Lab would say...if she could.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=303077&amp;AppID=24957&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="depression" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/deb_sheppard/archive/tags/depression" /></entry><entry><title>2010 -???</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/deb_sheppard/posts/303070" /><id>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/deb_sheppard/posts/303070</id><published>2009-12-31T20:06:00Z</published><updated>2009-12-31T20:06:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Well, here goes my first&amp;nbsp; blog thingy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its very nearly 2010 and I am sitting at home with my 2 dogs wondering what the next year will bring.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somethings I already know , like my husband has adneocarcimona of the lymph glands in his chest, inoperable... and maybe else where- we will know after the PET scan on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Allan&amp;nbsp;was treated for throat cancer in 2007 and now cancer has returned.&amp;nbsp; The news from the consultant is not very encouraging at all. 12 months without chemo and a bit longer if he has it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just want to feel better able to cope ..to help him, but I am struggling.&amp;nbsp;I cant believe we have fought this once before only to be slapped in the face again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am becoming morbid and depressed and thats no good, what should I do?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who can help me so I can look after him?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have plently of friends and family who are supportive but I am slipping down a hole&lt;/p&gt;
