Just as we thought we might manage a few weeks of normality after Patrick's op and before any more treatment he's been taken in to hospital with an infection. Went in on Sunday and they can't get his temp down. More scans and tests today to try and pin down what's going on. He's worn out and fed up!! Me too!!
Thanks for the kind words and wishes everyone.
I sat up with her last night and after a few hours sleep, my Dad woke me. A family friend, who used to be a cancer nurse, had stayed up to sit with her. I was told by her that my mum on her way.

After her original surgery (which they botched) she was so disheartened she stopped treatment half way through her chemo & discharged herself from further checkups so it's no surprise it's returned.
I thought I could deal with this but unfortunately everything seems to be becoming a big deal. Along with taking...
