Thank you Julie, Carol and Terri for your comments. It is the first time I have written anything on this site and I wasn't actually expecting any comments, I just wanted to write something as i sat with Sam whilst he slept. Your comments helped me and made me cry, which is no bad thing as I know I bottle it all up.
Sam is sleeping again, he slept from half 4 til 10 tonight and now since midnight so I guess it will be in the very early hours that I get to bed after he has woken again and is...

hi - thanks every one for your kind words - i went to see the specialist today - i was told that they had the results back from all the scan and they still weren't happy with the results - the pet scan showed something in my jaw and the lymph node in my chest so they now want me to have a ct scan of the jaw and ultra sound scan and biopsy of the lymph node - and yes - i have to wait for another two weeks for the results - hopefully then they will be able to tell me what they can offer me - they did...

This morning our son in law rang, offering Peter a fantastic FREE trip to Germany, visiting a racing car workshop. Staying the night then the following morning driving on a race track with one of their cars. This to him, is the best thing that has happened since his diagnosis last year. He has been walking around like a Cheshire cat.
We had let our passports lapse but that was not a problem. Phoned the Passport people and they told us how to get one within the next 2 weeks. Problem solved. Arranged...

Hello has anybody heard from Danielle or Andy lately. I haven't spoken to Andrew since last week. I am just a little worried about Danielle I wondered if she has had her second opinion yet. I hope all is ok . If you read this Andy let us know please we are all your friends on here. Love Julie XX
after a two day hospital admission they managed to get my daughter's sickness under control with a pump then she got some good nights sleep and felt better enough to ask for the pump to be removed. Not such a good day today and suddenly all the fears come back. Fantastic to have a gp visit at 30 minutes notice - never had that before, and the nurses have been great. Have to find a way to get this PLX 4032 - our only hope.
To my dear mum,
5 long months have passed now... though the tears keep flowing, I found a poem you wrote down that I know you kept near to you...
