Hi Mummy
I know its been about 18 months since you left us but I still miss you everyday. I especially miss you when things are tough or when I need some sound advice or just a good giggle.
I would love to know what you are doing up there and see what you are wearing. Andrea and I had a laugh the other day about her and what she wears. Her shoes are not very nice and you always had beautiful shoes and you always looked so good, she doesnt. You definately have much better style than she does.
...visited mum in hospital today, she was very confused and was talking nonsence, doctors are assessing her later, not sure if she will be coming home again.
the lung cancer is very agressive and she now weights less than 5 stone and is not really eating.
been told to prepare our self, but unsure how to do this .

Just got home after taking Gail to a Hospice. Hopefully here she will find pain relief and rest from the hectic hospital wards. Just sat down and told my daughter Alice about her mum and how long she is expected to live. What a brave dignified daughter I have she listened she cried I cried we hugged and we understood our united love we all have as a family. Tomorrow she will see her mum in her new room and will be mature and as dignified as Alice can be with the grace and poise of her mum .
Occupational health have spoken to the hubby. MIL should be back sometime next week as long as we have all the additional aids in place for her. Stair lift has been requested for her along with commode and other items. Thanking God the house already has a wet room. Seems odd that it was the thing we thought was the one major downside to the house when we moved here last year now it feels like a saving grace. Confirms what MIL always says which is things happen for a reason. I figure God knew we'd...
Hi All,
Sorry I haven't been on line for a while, still getting used to this new site! My mum was taken back in hospital 01/10/09 wiith suspected chest infection which was clear but then her feeding peg came out and the hospital have been unable to re-site it. Absolute nightmare, all the weight my mum put on since being on the feeding peg slipped off her within 3 days and she is also starting to lose some of her hair, which I didn't realise could happen after having radio. She had a stent...
Hi Everyone, it's been a week spent on a roller coaster!
I walked into Andrew's hospital room on Tuesday morning and he was hooked up to a stomach pump - I could have cried. He has been complaining of abdominal pains for a week and it seems they are caused by a blockage in the intestines. His digestive system hadn't woken up and it was creating havoc. They put a NG tube up through his nose and down into his stomach - he said it was deadful and very uncomfortble and he looked downright miserable...
What a let down yesterday was, the build up the sickness and then the let down "sorry the results are not back yet Terri you will have to come back next week", have they no idea that a week feels like a year when you are waiting to know, how bad is, is there a possibility it has spread.
Well I have come to the conclussion that all the crying in the world is not going to make the results come through any quicker so I have a choice stay at home crying and worrying about the ifs and buts...
This is my 7th day following my first Chemo. for Ovarian Cancer. It is interesting how everything changes on a day to day basis from pain, nausea, tingling in the mouth, fingers, burning feet. Mercifully living here in Spain I can put my sore feet on the cool tiles!
Would love to hear from others recieving Carboplatin and ?Taxol
Wow I am floored by the wonderful advice I have been given on here. I can feel the love and hugs sent to me by everyone who answered my last post. You are all right I do need to fight this thing for myself and then for the memory of my wonderful husband. My new man wants me around for a long time yet we have alot of living and loving to do before either of us move on to the thereafter.
My darling husband came to me in a dream last night and he was happy in fact he took me to a party, I don't know...
