someone please pinch me ..

1 minute read time.

and wake me from this nightmare :(

today i went to see the surgens , news isn't good , yes the cancer is back for the 3rd time confirmed by pet scan today , the also shows it hasn't spread ....

they want to get me in on the 29th for removal of the bladder and vagina and maybe removal of the bowel depending on the scar tissue ..he said i had a 1 in 5 chance of this working ..if it doesn't then it will all happen very quickly and i may never leave hospital ..if i don't have the operation again my time will be limited .

i will have a ct 2 days before surgery to make sure it hasn't spread , he could also open me up and decide not to go ahead because of previous damage .

so this is it , i've dreamt /layed awake at night thinking about this day and its all so very surreal, before when i've spoken to consultants they've spoken of a cure and today iit was just about quality of life .

i have to go back next week to see the urologist and measure up for bags ..

how do i do this ? i just feel like holding my breath and stopping ..just stopping .all i want is to be able to watch my little boys grow to big men and it very much looks like i won't see another xmas ..i'm so very afraid and just don't know how to go on ..i never ever thought this day would come that i have to weigh up how many days i have left its all so unfair .. have to sit down tonight and tell the children ...please friends give me strength xx

    Hi Sammie,

    I just want to say that I am sorry you didnt get better results from your scans and that yet again you are facing very difficult decisions. I know you said you have been kind of expecting this day and from that I get that you are realistic about your cancer and what it means for you.  Yes what he has told you is pretty grim but who says you cant be the 1 in 5 that it works for.  I am sure you want that more than anything so you DO get to see your boys grow up.  I am wishing you all the strength in the world and best of luck for the surgery.

    All my love Chrissi xx
