... is my bubble back!
It's gone. Don't know where but I wish it would come back. Maybe it hasn't gone completely and is just deflated and sulking under the sofa or something. But I want it back please.
It's a very useful bubble. Some days it's a bouncy hopper type bubble and we just bound through life together. Other days it becomes lots of little bubbles that fizz around and keep me laughing. Occasionally my bubble acts as a cushion and takes the edge off the not so nice stuff that...
Well as christmas looms ever closer I feel like my heart is breaking without Bill. We really thought he was going to beat this disease, but it was not to be.My life is now a lonley and dark place with no light at the end of the tunnel.I will never hear his voice again it was big deep sexy ,that was the first thing I fell in love with ,then his sense of houmor funny and twisted in the way only a man you love get's away with like the time he called me to say get dolled up we are going out for dinner...

Well, it's been a bit of a mixed bag, as these journeys often are.
Round four was a few weeks ago, and round five was due on Friday. However round four had been a very rough ride, and my darling has been very sick and not eating much. The consultant could tell that he had had a rough ride and was concerned about his weight loss and so has given us a fortnight off chemo to recover and gather strength.
We have the dreaded review scan on 15th December, and final chemo of the year is scheduled...
It's less than two weeks to Christmas now, and all the family are pushing the boat out and rowing home to be here together. I don't know if that's because I went through all of this trouble this year... but it probably is. Anyway, the table will be full, and they will eat their fill, and I will watch with delight as I drink my Ensures. Yes of course I would rather have a Christmas dinner and lots of chocs and other Christmas goodies, but I can't and that's just how it is, no point in...
Friday 11th December
Rang the day unit and, sure enough, had to go in. The third day in a row. I know we're lucky to be able to just go in and get treated but I really didn't want another 4/5 hour day at hospital. My mood has been 'simmering' for a couple of days and totally slumped on the way over because I'd had to miss a couple of rare nights out recently because of colds - either mine or other people's. I'm really tired of doing everything I can to minimise risk only to...
