In writing this blog, I am not attempting a diary or chronological record, but to record some of my feelings and thoughts as I fathom my way through this new chapter of my life. I am grateful to Macmillan for providing a safe platform where this is possible.
the holidays where over and the boy was back to school....
still feeling not right i caried on with normal life as best i could and got myself to the doctors,
explainned how i felt and he said "your suffering from anxioty some kind of breakdown" here he said try these anti depresants and see how you go.

First of all anyone hoping to read of my adventures walking round the countryside....sorry not that kind of Rambling...more a case of me writing things as they pop into my head
I realised earlier my last blog was written when i was quite drunk and reading it back it made little sense, so i thought i would write sober this time (i don't have a drinking problem!!) and see what happens.
I am now 18 months ish into my journey/roller coaster/stairway to heaven/highway to hell, however people want...
Hello dear readers,
Been a while since I updated the blog. I haven't forgotten about it, just life gets in the way.
We have had a jam packed six week school holiday this year. Last year was a write off due to me receiving my treatment and next year is not promised so I booked three different getaways this year.
We took the kids away in our caravan to Scotland for a few days then went for a trip of a lifetime (well for us anyway) on a narrowboat through Yorkshire. We had always planned to retire...
So now I have been given the awful news I am thinking about what is to come .
I know I need to take each day at a time and just stand and wait in the queue looking at the scenery for the moment instead of thinking about the ride that is to come .
Incise you don't understand the rollercoaster part , i am a very visual thinking person and this is kind of how i imagine the start of my journey .
I will hopefully update my blog as much as possible to remind myself of things and hopeful bring me comfort...

Perhaps I’m in denial or perhaps the pragmatist in me realises that until I wake up at some point on Sunday/ Monday, there’s zero value in worrying about anything that hasn’t happened yet. Either way, I’ve still got 24 hours to...
I've now set a date for the removal of my portacath. This will be the following Wednesday after my 12th chemo session and the week before radiotherapy starts. It has never been comfortable but yet it has made my weekly chemo sessions much easier. As much as I don't like having the portacath, I am getting very anxious about having it removed since this time it will he done under local anaesthetic so I will be awake:
