Found out this morning that Patrick's cancer had spread to 2 of the lymph glands that were removed at the same time as his bladder. Not great news but we don't have much detail yet - this news came in a letter! Nice!! Hopefully he'll be able to talk to someone in more detail after the bank holiday. Until then we're in the dark!

My Dad went into hospital Thursday morning for his third lot of chemo, which has ended up with him getting his first two chemo drugs in a drip and the other in tablet form due to my Dad taking a reaction to it. This has allowed my Dad to come home and take the rest of his chemo at home, so he now just has to go to hospital as a day patient. Im a bit confused about all this as Im not sure does the treatment work the same is it as effective as the drip? My Dad quite happy he is home Mum a bit upset...
My friends Dad passed away this morning in a hospice of bowel cancer. I hope i am saying the right things, i think she is expecting me to say it get easier but for me so far it hasn't.....it has only gotten harder.
My fiance was able to get time off work to attend my pre-op assesment with me; this time it was back at my local hospital so only about 15 mins away. From memory we were only there for a couple of hours over all...

Today my mum went into the hospice for a short stay (week to 10 days the doctors said). She hasn't eaten or drank much for a week and is therefore very weak. She can't stand on her feet at the moment, such is her weakness. She is staying there so she can get treatment and so that hopefully we can get her stronger and home again.
The hospice is a lovely place and she has her own private room. But it was heartbreaking to leave her there. The house feels empty without her and I had the horrible...
