I don't know what's happening to me today, i feel sad, empty and kind of lost. I have taken myself up to my bedroom for 3 hours this afternoon because i could feel all these strange emotions bubbling to the surface (and to read 'breaking dawn')
I wish there was a way to control how i feel and when i feel it.
It is my brothers birthday on tuesday and he wants us to go for a meal. This will be the first of our birthday without dad here. If it was today i wouldn't be going... hopefully...
today is our 3 month wedding anniversary and i have been a widow for 7 weeks now.
13 1/2 years, finally we got round to getting married and thinking about family to have our lives shattered so rapidly by cancer. A diagnosis that no one thought of. The Gp will freely admit when ordering the ultra sound that showed the terminal widespread disease, he thought he had a relatively minor liver problem. Mark was so brave i think no one realised just how much pain he was in. including me. I can not forgive...

Hello to every one, I'm not sure what is going on with me, but I feel that I'm not much use to any one on the site. I've tried to help anyone I can with comments which I thought would be of help but I'm not sure I have.
I am having a lot of emotional times, when thinking , talking about my cancer and answering questions from other people about prognosis etc. I don't know it's never been spoken of when I see my oncologist. He says we'll deal with each spot as we need to....
Starting to feel like a yoyo. Up one minute then crashing back down. My emotions are in a turmoil.
Mum health and state of mind is declining but we're still unsure just how long she has got left. Last week she had a heart attack. Went into Taunton Hospital where they put in 3 stents to keep her valvues open. She's now back home and feeling quite good but very weak, and another ton of tablets to take. She still expects me to be able to run back and forth looking after her and its getting...
It has been over a year since my hubby's diagnosis of bile duct cancer and we were told he had 6 - 9 months. Surgery and radiation were not possible because of the location of the tumour and they could only offer chemotherapy to prolong his life.
Before each appointment with his doctor to discuss the latest scan or blood test. We are both so on edge and nervous. My husband says it is like waiting for the hammer to fall. Each scan, each blood test could be the one that says it has spread. I can...

...Should have been getting the results of my biopsy yesterday but they phoned on Thursday to say that the weren't ready so I now have to wait till next Friday.
To say I am p****d off is putting it mildly still as there isn't anything I can do about it I will just have to wait and try not to let it affect my blood pressure!!
