    It's been a while since I last blogged. I never really got used to the new site once it merged. It was just too big and stressed out for me to cope with. But I thought I should tell you all that Ian died yesterday very peacefully in the hospice.  It was so difficult for him towards the end. I was so glad he made it to the hospice because it gave me the chance to spend the last night with him in peace and quiet and with…

He is now on Carboplatin. It doesn't seem to be bothering him too much…

I knew he really wasn't feeling well when he asked me if…

Its a new site and everyone has to be loaded on and its the weekend. The person doing the loading is off for the weekend, come monday morning 9.00 I will have my e-mail to say I…

    Just thought i'd better update my blog as its been nearly a month since my last one. Ian has decided to go for the chemo. We went to see Dr Sykes on Tuesday. We had a lot of questions we wanted to ask. However, it was the surgical Reg that was there when we walked in. We have met him before just after Ian had the peg put in, he is a really lovely chap but unfortunately couldn't answer our questions. But he was very efficient…
