It's 3 months since J heard that he was in remission and he's just about to go in for his first 3 month check up, so it must be time to darken the door of this blog again for an update - and well, as usual, to express some of my darker worries that I don't seem to be able to say to anyone in real life.
The nice bit is that remission, so far, has been fanbloodytastic. J is doing so well. His hair growth is…
Remission is the best word in the world isn't it? We got the good news on Wednesday and I nearly fainted! I cried, J was cool as a cucumber and said he always knew it.

It was just a perfect time and I'm glad, whatever…

I've been at the doctors having blood tests today too. I finally went to see the doctor last week after 6 months of abdomen pain and bowel trouble. I'm convinced its IBS caused by the stress of J being ill, but the doctor was more interested in my ovaries so it was blood tests today to be followed by…
