    I couldn't write in the end, I couldn't talk and I couldn't eat. 

    I left this world on November 13th 2013 but will watch over my family always and forever. I was taken so young, just 62 and still lots of life left to live but it wasn't meant to be. 

    Good luck to those of you battling this cruel illness, live every day and grab every moment - leave memories and tell those you love and care about how you…

    The last month has been awful. Delays in hospital treatment have meant that they had to forcibly insert a stent and now I can't eat normally and it's hard to find the positive things to focus on. I was in hospital for a week as I just couldn't stop being sick and when I was home the drugs…

    Eating hasn't been great. Feeling like shit. Ate a banana yesterday and was sick for over an hour as it wouldn't go down and I'm depressed about that. Had some minced shepherds pie later which wasn't too bad and then had a few drinks to try to relax. Think things are playing on my mind as I had to go for an MRI scan on Tuesday as it has got worse since I finished the only 6 rounds of chemo that I can have back in October…
