Nearly at The End of My Babes Journey!!

2010-06-02T14:36:26Z

I have just been told by the doctor that my lovely husband is no longer terminally ill but is now dying!This year has flown past and although we all knew what the outcome would be I am still in shock at what the doctor said.

Tom (My Babes )is at peace with himself and is ready for the last bit as he calls it! and he told my brother that I need to accept it too, I do but how do you say good bye to the man I have adored for the last 38 years!! it's too soon!!!The saddest thing is that he will not see his first grandchild due in December.

The good thing is that he will pass away at home with us all around him wishing him a safe passage and free from suffering!!

Bye for now

And as Always All My Love and Positive Thoughts to you All XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx

Hi Everyone,

On the 2nd of march 2010, I was on this site thrilled that we had been told Tom's Gliobastoma brain tumour was in remission sadly now that is'nt so.On the monday 2 weeks ago we had just recieved tha fabulous news that our daughter was pregnant again after miscarrying three month's ago and then the bomb shell that Tom only has about 3 month's left, so he won't see the baby! so you can imagine we are all devastated!! Somebody said to me that it can't get worse than this, but I say nothing as it is like throwing out a challenge to the universe!!

Anyway I hope you all are well

Loads of love and positve thoughts Christine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My Babes is in remission!!!!!!!!

2010-03-02T09:40:02Z

Dear all,

I don't often write blogs as I still can't quite get this new site the old one was much easier for me but still. The reason for me writting this blog is that after 6weeks radiotherapy, 2 lots of brain surgery and 10 mothes chemo my husbands scans are clear of all cancer!!!.

We were told that Tom had only 6monthe's to a year left to live because he has the worst type of tumour which is a Gliobastoma grade 4 so to have this news on thursday was incredible for us all this could give us another 1-3 years together who knows? I am just so grateful to all those who saved his life, I also hope that this news may give hope to those that have the same condition as Tom's.

Love and positve thoughts to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi I'm Back!!

2010-01-19T14:31:17Z

Hi Everybody,

I haven't been on line for ages and I have missed keeping up to date with everyone, especially Deb's deliberations which I have greatly missed.The great news is my lovely Tom is doing well on his chemo 5th cycle starting next week,he was able to walk our daughter down the aisle on the 5th of sept 09 (Iwill get some pics to put on my profile of the wedding) but had a relapse a couple of days later (that was probably the relief that he had got shot of her!LOL! not really she's a daddy's girl.He is now doing well.

The next brilliant news is yesterday Lauren told us we are going to be grandparents at the end of August! (our 1st one)

six monthes ago I would never have dream't any of this would be possible as I was told I would be a widow in six monthes.Well the doctors were wrong thank goodness! so like everybody else I'm trying to take one day at a time and pray Tom will be here to see the new addition to the family.

Lots OF Love and positive Thoughts To All Christinexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First Appointment

2009-07-07T12:04:18Z

My husband Tom had his 1st appointment with the oncologist at The Queens romford yesterday.I had got myself into a right stew about what they would say to us. When we got there we had aright good laugh with the receptionist when she kept saying toTom" white british are you white british" when he is clearly mixed race, she thought he had been sitting in the sun that was brilliant!! the hospital is new and spotlessly clean and I did'nt have time to put me bum on the waiting room seat before we were called in to see the consultant. the consultant said he was confident about Tom's treatment (He will have 6 weeks radio and 6 monthes chemo) I now feel that there is hope that he will be around for quite awhile (he is still up the scaffolding painting the front of the house ready for the wedding!) that has taken a whole lot of stress off me and the kids and we can look towards the future and getting him well. Love to everyone XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PS Thanks Debs P for your information and support xx

Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so angry!

2009-06-26T11:00:58Z

Sorry everybody but I am so angry about the way my husband has been treated I need to have a rant!.Last Friday I recieved a phone call from the hospial where Tom had his surgery to tell me that all his notes and scans had been sent to our local hospital so he could start his radiotherapy and chemo the person apolojised and told me that for some reason the person who was mean't to send the information hadn't ( I had been chasing this department for 2 weeks!!) I rang the local hospital and they said we will pencil an appointment in for the following monday the 29th June.All week waited for the letter nothing, so I rang the local hospital yesterday to be told that the scans had not arrived and that the consultants sec had been chasing them up as amatter of urgency not only that they had to give my husbands appointment to somebody else.I then rang my daughter as I was so distressed and she called up and was told the scans had been sent by recorded delivery on wednesday and should arrive today(Friday) when my daughter said "do you realize how serious this situation is" the person said "yup" what kind of response is that YUP! we are both fuming at this attitude. I am now awaiting a call from our local hospital at 11am to make sure the scans have arrived if not my daughter will have to leave work and do around trip in to central London then back to Essex to deliver them to the other hospital! Just recieved call from hospital NO SCANS have arrived !!! I could scream! my daughter is now on the case. what are they playing at or is it me being unreasonable ? has this happened to anyone else ?

treatment

Thanks so much for the messages from Purple Fairy and Debs, it really heiped me as all I could see was doom and gloom. I realize now from reading everybodies blogs what a Fab!!! bunch of people you all are and I hope in the future I may be of support to anyone in my position. I have one more question How long after brain surgery do you start radiotherapy? as I can't seem to get hold of the oncology team and I haven't recieved a letter in the post, Tom's surgery was 3 weeks ago this thursday. Love to all ChristineXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
