Missed an entry last night, as I went to the PTA AGM. Wow I know how to party! :)
So I've been busy in work, arranging meetings with people who want to form links or hire our rooms etc, and some fun stuff such as planing the Xmas Fayre Fundraiser. I DO like my job, and feel very lucky that I do!
We have booked a holiday for March, as I am hoping that all treatments will be well and truly over by then. BUT that little bit of insecure doubt that cancer throws into your life is being...

My gorgeous wife was finally diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in April 2011, it had spread to her vertibrae, liver and a number of spots in the node system. She had been having tests since November 2010. We know that it is one of the more treatable cancers but it is still very scarey. I have been to every hospital and doctors appointment and also to 11 of her 12 Chemotherapy sessions. Our marriage has become more and more strained and we are now in an awful situation. So much so that she would not...

Mo did looked knackered when she came home and not as mobile as she normally is which...
