I'm pleased to say that mum seems to be doing well this week.
The good news is: I have only five radiotherapy sessions left to go with this phase of the treatment. The bad news is: it ain't half sore.
Anyway, it's been a busy time since I last posted (yes, I know, meant to be taking it easy so shouldn't be busy). As I was feeling OK towards the end of last week we decided to take the opportunity presented by the three day holiday weekend to go away for a night. I rested in the car, and lounged around on sofas but in truth it probably wasn't a brilliant...
thats how i feel, LOST.......i spoke to my mum, every day..we loved to moan!!! i miss that so much. i can see her now, sitting in my gardan, laughing and joking,, I WANT THAT BACK , RIGHT NOW...PLEASE......WHY WHY WHY . I THOUGHT ,you would always be here ,right here....but no, you really have gone. not in my heart, never ever but in every other sence....i hate it when the sun shines. i hate it when it rains, i hate it when the day brakes,,and my pain starts all over again...........missing you....
After losing my Valarie, my world has completely fallen apart. As I gingerly attempted to reintegrate my new, raw reality with the life I used to know, I often find it jarring. Friendships that used to just work feel awkward. Sometimes words that are meant to comfort feel like sandpaper to my soul, and surprisingly, people I barely used to know became life-long friends.
My loss has made me an outsider to many. While friends and family want to support me, they didn’t know how. How do you help...

Its been a while since I wrote my last blog - was in hospital last week for a biopsy on the hot spots in the left hand side breast area had the biopsy done last Wednesday and they have just phoned to say that they hope that the results will be through for me to see the consultant on Friday, they are phoning me tomorrow to confirm they are through and to make an appointment - the cancer nurse says that they need to do some more staining whatever that might mean.
I hate the waiting I know I definitely...

Hi everyone,
Unsure where to write but thanks to all who responded to my last note.
I finished first cycle of gemcitabine with few hitches, no nauseau and no hair thinning as yet. My white cell count dropped but I had an injection of GSF to boost this sucessfully. It's my week off and then I think I'm commencing Capcitabine with Gemcitabine 2nd cycle.
Does anyone know what benefits if any financially I would be entitles to. I'm currently still on full pay but that halves next month although...
