    Haven't been on here for a while have been having a bit of a rubbish time, became incontinent due to the tumour in my pelvis wrecking my bladder, which really brought  me down.  Have had some really bad pain episodes as my tumour started to die and take bits of my insides with it, but at least now it is not visible on scans.  They won't say its gone but it's not visible so I hope it is dead, my chemo tablets continue…

    Weird isn't it how you can be so ill and still life goes on I am waiting for my new fridge and freezer to be delivered, normally I would be given the late slot and would be upset that I had to wait around, now that I have a stinking cold and my partner is in bed with the flu I have been given the 7 to 11 slot so I had to get up dead early this morning.  I know they will probably come nearer 11 than 7 but can't take…
