hi its my birthday today i am 36 wow, i am a little tipsy after my 3 glasses of rose (i don't drink very often) i have had an awful day my dad is so poorly in the last week he has had his stent fitted but has deteriated fast, his orriginal oesophagus tumour has managed to spread to his liver and lungs, he now has ascites looking 9 months pregnant, and he is pleasantly confused he can take approx 20 steps he is so breathless. as my sister in law is his cancer specialist she has told us that he is now in the end stage and has approx 4 weeks to live. so i really didn't feel like celebrating my birthday, i put on a brave face all day for the sake of the children and was so pleased when they forgot to sing happy birthday to me because i knew i would spend the whole song balling my eyes out because my number one man my dad is certain to not be here next year.
its been a hard week, this week apart from my dad my sister in law had an emergency appendisectomy, i have had a brain scan awaiting results i have also had an echo of my heart and i have a hole in it (my husband said he put that there with his bow and arrow lol) i keep telling myself that there are so many people who are worse off than me and i send you all peace and hugs tracy xx sorry if i have ranted and waffled maybe its the wine? xx

Hi Tracy, sorry to hear the news re your dad. It's difficult to know what to say right now, but I hope it helps being able to offload on here. I loved the bit about your hubby saying he made a hole in your heart with his bow and arrow, I'm sure he did! Will be thinking of you. Best wishes, Christine xx
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, Tracy. I hope he remains pleasantly confused and has no pain, and if this is the end stage, that it goes easily.
Nothing that anyone can say can help, no-one can take away the pressure and the pain. But we all understand on here, so come and shout and find a bit of an outlet here. You have friends here.
