im having a bit of a rant !!! ive noticed a few other ppl here have done the same!
my son was going to clinic yesterday for his chemo - (a catchup because he couldnt have it last week and the last one before his scan) i get up expecting to be looking after the children and helen has gone back to bed
apparently theyd had words and fallen out so paul didnt want her to go to clinic with him!
his dad was driving him there - but he wanted to go alone if helen wasnt going
after he.d left she told me they had a little row and apparently she.d said to him - its not only you this affects !!!
it affects us all ............. i could have slapped her! -but i didnt!
yes it does affect us all - but - its paul that has cancer not us! he has to be ill - not us! he has the uncertain future -not us!
JEEEEEZ !!! im mad with her
how bl··dy selfish can a person be?
if only i could swap places i would walk in his shoes and give him his life back
ps they did kiss n make up later and he has asked her to go along next week when he has his scan
pps oh yes and i think she had pmt too!
ppps i do forgive her - i know we are all a bit crazy sometimes

I understand how you are feeling and now all is forgiven and everyone has calmed down. But can I speak for those of us who do not have cancer but have loved ones who do. I know Paul is your son and it is your instinct to protect him, but Helen is his wife and she is right, it does affect each and everyone of us who have someone we love living with this terrible disease.
It is not just the emotions of the patient that are all over the place, my family have been knocked for six with my sisters diagnosis of cancer (which is terminal) anq quite often I find myself completely irrational and ranting at people for what seems like no apparent reason. I say and do things which I would never have dreamt of before and I can honestly say I am not in control of my emotions anymore.
If we are all honest our first fear when we hear the "C" word is we think someone we love is going to die, Thank god that is no longer always the case, but go easy on Helen next time she rants at Paul give her a little break!!! We all have our off days. Hope Pauls treatment goes well .
