Another not too brilliant day but.....

1 minute read time.

Well another day of feeling a bit rough, although better than yesterday. Managed to find enough energy to get a suit for the wedding on Sat. The bride wants me to join in the choir for Parry's "I was glad"  but am not sure at?  the moment that the dry trhoat is up to it!

As someone who lives on their own, I am sometimes a bit worried as to what is happening to me. My oncologist wouldn't give me a prognosis but said you will know when the end is coming. Easy to say, but what I am looking for? The question always arises - am I being paranoid? We all get sore mouths and throats when we are healthy and think njothing of them. But with the big C in the background it is easy to read too much into them.

Having my line flush and bloods on Friday so have to hope that anything untoward would be picked up.

I am not scared of the end itself but am concerned that I won't know when I can't cope anymore on my own. I don't want my family to have to deal with more than necessary so hope that I can get into a hospice for the final push. I really don't want them to go through what so many of you wonderful carers have to.

Enough already, love to all

Mike

    Hi Mike, i've not messaged you before your post really moved me, hope you had a fab time at the wedding and you are right we had things wrong us before the cancer just didn't read so much into them, hope thats the case with you.

    Let your family help as it will help them sometimes its easier to say no but would probably make you all feel better. Take care, Love paulinef

    Dear Mike, you're an amzing man, still thinking of others. But  I agree with Pauline about letting your family help if they want to. I'm so glad I was able to spend time helping my stepdad (and support my Mum) during his illness - I wouldn't change a thing. Hope you enjoy the wedding, let us know how it goes.
