    ?
    I wrote before about how my husbands mood swings are difficult. Yesterday wasn't good. we had a small window of reason but that was it. I managed to get to the shops for an hour with a friend but all the time wondered how he was, and shouldn't have as was sound asleep on the couch. I have to contact someone today again, going to phone the cancer nurse and go into Maggies as he is being very unreasonable, sometimes doesnt make sense and confused too. I know I have to say but at the same time feel...

    mum with sclc
    Hi everyone, I have recently joined the site after logging in frequently since April 09 when my mum was diagnosed with SCLC. I now am getting to realise how 'big' this disease is and how important this site is to people affected by cancer. In the early weeks, I would look at all the blogs related to SCLC to try and gain as much info as I could, this has helped me so much. I would love to hear from anyone who is also affected by this cancer type, and learn of their experiences along this rocky road...

    a job well done
    Evening all, Into 'nesting' mode before next week - made sure everything's up to date business-wise and even tidied up my little PC corner in the living room. I just want to clear the clutter - they'll do all the proper cleaning next week when I'll be looong gone :D My 'next' order arrived - I realised that I hadn't bought anything with buttons down the front. I hadn't really given any thought as to how I'm going to get in and out of the pretty-but-useless stuff I bought the other day when I'm...

    Wittering on again
    Just thought i'd better update my blog as its been nearly a month since my last one. Ian has decided to go for the chemo. We went to see Dr Sykes on Tuesday. We had a lot of questions we wanted to ask. However, it was the surgical Reg that was there when we walked in. We have met him before just after Ian had the peg put in, he is a really lovely chap but unfortunately couldn't answer our questions. But he was very efficient in getting Dr Sykes (the oncologist) to come and speak to us. Our questions...

    MRI scan results
    I would be lying if I said I wasn't just a bit nervous this morning as we drove up to the hospital. Hubby had been mentioning these gnawing feelings he had in his lower stomach and I detected that he was thinking that it was the tumours growing again. He's only just finished the 3 cycles of chemo - they couldn't be growing again that soon, could they? I've kind of learnt to 'read' the doctor/consultant's disposition. You can tell when there is something bad about to come out of their mouths. We...

    Hi, new to this site
    Hi, My name is Liz my mom died on her 88th birthday last Dec. I am still finding life hard to deal with and just wanted to speak to like minded people, as most of my friends seem to think life should be going on 'as normal' now. Still find I can cry at the drop of a hat when thinking of my lovely mom. My Dad is also finding life very hard as they had been married for coming up to 58 years when she died. I used to see mom every day so life is very different now. Thanks for listening. Lizx...
