it was my birthday today,,putting all the crap stuff aside it turned out to be a very nice day , lots of cards , prezzies and cake, lots of visitors, all our family dropping by and best of all my darling hubby having a pain free and settled day,, even though i know he won't be about for next years one, today shall be a day i will always treasure and never forget....now looking forward to our son's wedding on the 31st and a house full of people,, that'll be paper plates all round as i've no intention of doing the washing up!!!! only a small wedding and to amuse the grandchildren i'm putting up the xmas tree in the garden!!!

at long last i've managed to post a pic onto my profile, it was our wedding day 27 06 2009, i'd give anything to have nigel still looking like that now, sadly he he is a shadow of his former self and it breaks my heart....

different legs!!!!

what a crappy couple of days,, nigel's feet have been swollen more than usual this past couple of days, we were going to the hospital anyway for a routine blood test and decided to pop along to chemo unit for advice,, i'm glad we did as they were even more swollen and very red and hot,, cellulitis diagnosed so antibiotics prescribed, also blood thinning injections as well which i can do at home, he's having a leg scan tomorrow to rule out a blood clot, so he may not be able to have his chemo session tomorrow as planned, there seems to be something different to contend with every day, does get us down at times hopefully the meds will do the trick, he's been told to elavate his legs but he's being doing this for months but doesn't make much difference,i'm at a loss to know what to advise him next???????

Its a different life now.....

Its a different life now , it has been now since the 16th september 2010, my darling husband was diagnosed with cancer. i wish i had joined this site earlier.i have been on here almost daily for months now reading other peoples experiences. i realise we are not alone in this nightmare and indeed there are many that are worse off than us but the one thing that strikes me is how kind and supportive everybody is, even in their darkest times they take the time to listen and respond to others going through the same. i've been impressed with the good humour and courage that so clearly is evident on here, it has helped me a lot....
