    It's funny where your brain takes you at 4 in the morning, this is what my brain decided to do at that time last night:

     

    SOMETIMES
     
    Sometimes we laugh,
    Sometimes we cry,
    Sometimes we wonder oh why, oh why,
    Sometimes we moan,

    Sometimes we scream
    Sometimes we shout
    Sometimes we wonder what life is about
    Sometimes we are blind…

Way back in Dec 1995 the docs told us it would be a couple of weeks chemo after the first op then another op and then it was highly unlikely that it would ever return. The words - if you had to pick a cancer then testicular would be the one because it has such a high cure rate - are still ringing in my ears. Little did they or we…

    Feeling absolutely exhausted today. Hubby is really going through the mill at the moment. The methatrexate is making his mouth really sore , not like with other chemos, this drug crystalises in the body and makes the inside of the throat feel like it is closing over, the cheeks and gums become swollen and then start to fall apart. All the food I have tried to tempt him with has ended up in the bin. This happened last…
