Well, here I am back at home after my weeks away. Holiday all but forgotten about after a week with my daughter, doing the school runs for her girls while she is on teaching practice.
It's lovely having time at home, but then the brain starts again - what is that ache in my lower tummy, what about the pain in my side... how do you convince your self the cancer is not back when you are in remission. Every little pain makes you worry, so not enough sleep to make things worse.
Not enough confidence...
so yesterday was the hardest day of my life so far, waited 11hrs for my dad to come out of surgery, then 2 hrs in recovery before just seeing him open his eyes. He now has no voicebox and a trachy and they re-built his food pipe in his throat........................

Been out of Uk for a few weeks to tend to some family business ref my Dad and returned yesterday.
Seeing things out there brought back memories, very sentimental ones too. The day I arrived there the news was broken to my Gran, we all sat together and cried for ages. I feel for gran, shes lost her husband and 2 sons all to cancer, so I can't imagine what and how she is feeling. The relationship between my mum and gran isn't great but my mum still cares about her deep down inside and sometimes...
my husband was dignosed with gullet and liver cancer three weeks ago. had a stent put in today to help him eat. we have waited ages to have this operation everythings seems to take forever to get moving. hopefully he will put some weight on and start feeling better in himself. chemo is the next stage . it's been a hard few weeks telling people and letting in sink in ourselves.
I spoke to the lovely nurse today having not heard if I was booked into see the surgeon on the clinic date we discussed weeks ago.
As always she sorted it all out brilliantly: yes, I'll be able to get into the surgeon's clinic on 5 Nov (her: "what time is good for you?" me: "it would be good to get the school run out of the way - how about some time after 9:30?" her: "OK, I'll tell the surgeon's secretary between 9:30 and 10:30. That should be no problem and you'll receive a letter through the post...

I was looking after her before she was diagnosed with lung cancer, one year ater that diagnostic nightmare and a biopsy from hell with a bleed just to add to my mums problems, I find myself feeling rather selfish...yes selfish..
