just wittering on

Haven't really got any 'earth moving' story to tell. Just wanted to chat to someone, even if its only a one sided conversation to the little man in the computer! I have to say that I think Ian looks a whole heap better that he did, although he says he feels just as crap as ever (i'm sure he does), he just 'seems' better in himself. It has been a whole week now since we got the news that the cancer was back, so he has been on the steroids a week. They must be doing something for him. We had a visit from the man from welfare rights. He was absolutely brilliant. I don't know whether he realised that we were still a bit in shock or what but, he just took all the paperwork we could find and took it all off our hands and went away to sort it all out for us. What a relief that was because I just wouldn't have known where to start. I can't thank him enough. He was asked to visit by the McMillan nurse, somebody on this site suggested I ring her and I am grateful to them for that. I felt a bit of a fraud asking to speak to the McMillan nurse because at the time we had been told by the surgeon that there was no signs of the cancer and if it hadn't come back by now it probably never would. Ha! what a joke that was. Only a few weeks later we find out it was back and had been there all along, probably for about 18 months before. Hindsight is a wonderful thing *sigh*
