We are getting nearer to bone marrow biopsy day and my tummy is churning thinking about the potential results. Bert is not feeling good as he has yet another infection and is back on IV antibiotics again. sometimes I feel as though he will never get out of that room he must be so fed up. The kids are away to a fund raising event tonight in aid of Anthony Nolan Trust. They are looking for ghosts in Culzean Castle and having a psychic reading too and as much as I would have loved to go I would rather...
I took a call from the hospital today, not good. MIL condition has deteriorated significantly. The doctor told me that she believes time is now very short weeks or days rather than the hoped for months.
I had to tell my hubby when he got in from work and also had to tell her sister in scotland over the phone. Hard hard conversations.
Feeling strangely numb. Have made all the important calls and now we wait for tomorrow when we can take the children in to see her and make plans to bring up sister...
Honest Indian you can see why I am so confused cant you; life has been a constant challenge to me.

Well these old and...
Hello
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how long they waited until they had their first Chemo session. My dad was diagnoised 6 weeks ago and it may be another 2 weeks until his first chemo appointment - is this normal? I guess we all worry and just want things to move as quick as possible.
Haven't been here for a while have been trying to get on with things but after the 3rd dose of chemo epirubicin I seem to have little or no energy every thing just seems too much it's a struggle to take the puppy out but have to manage, don't know how I can cope with much more, have to have a line fitted for the chemo as they keep struggling to find a vein am still going to christies although they keep promising I can have have it at Bolton. Have the last Epirubicin on the 10th November the the CMF...
Well now I know, not the news I wanted but I can't change that so have decided on how to move forward. Since I have all the facts now and know this is not going to be a short run thing I have decided to do this blog bit correctly like Deb's and Andrew (wonderful people with a wicked sense of humour). This in my mind is now my day 1 and the dance and cance is deliberate...not typo error.
Spent all yesterday feeling sorry for myself, crying at the drop of a hat and bloody angry that the doc...

I held her head on my arm and held each hand as I constantly chatted to her every second of those final...
