Out of respect for Andrew's phobia of the s*****r word I will try and tell the tale as painlessly as possible. I looked at many different types of bedroom footwear, most of them reminded me of what my grandma used to wear, I was starting to get slightly panicky when low and behold my eyes fell on the pinkest pair of soft half Ugg boots I have ever seen. I ummed and rred for several seconds then grabbed them and rushed to the checkout's. To get to the checkout I had to take a detour past the fresh...
OK here goes. My sister was diagnosed with a rare cancer of the blood in the early part of this year, the good news is she is clear the not quite so good news is she is underggoing hopefully her last round of intense chemo on Friday to prevent the cancer coming back. I do not know the name of this cancer and all I know about treatment is she did not tell anyone when she was diagnosed and we only found out about it whrn she thought it was not working. Now we have been told she needs this last round...
Hi folks, just wondered if anyone can give me some advise.
We have terminal illness cover on our mortgage. Although my partner has incureable cancer which he is having palliative chemo and radio for to alleviate symptoms no one has yet mentioned the 'T' word. We have been told he is not going to recover from this and any treatment is palliative only.
We have decided to try and claim on the Life Policy, even though we dont have all the mortgage covered we have about half. My question is...

Nothing in this road is ever easy. I thought that when chemo shrank my son's kidney tumor and it was removed during surgery, that treatment would be simpler, easier afterwards. I find that I can hardly breathe a sigh of relief because if it isn't one thing it's another.
Technically, my son is in remission and his chemo now is sort of a mopping up of any malignant cells that may have been left behind. We find that this point in his treatment his bone marrow is having difficulty producing...
Right enough work for today, Im off to the shops apparently I have to buy something called 'slippers', think I can just about remember what they are....
Luckily my other half bless him bought me Julie Walters Autobiography for my birthday so should be able to make a start on that one. Youngest daughter has offered me the use of her DS so gonna treat myself to Professor Layton to keep the old brain ticking over (could get tricky cos wont have access to internet so no cheats for me then)
...OMG am I going mad I ask myself. After the calmness taking over yesterday getting the results I then slept for about 2 hours altogether.
I spent the lonely dark hours thinking is it possible to be too positive. It feels like tempting fate is this normal???. I have been reassuring all around me that this is ok and that I am stronger than this, a battle I will win and then alone in the dark I then start to doubt, I think because this is all new to me I dont really understand this grading system (ignorant...

Okay, we've got a diagnosis, its stage 4 lung cancer and you know what, i'm really, really furious. (hence the title of my blog, sorry, if its offensive, can change, let me know).
My mum is someone I have admired all my life, as are most of our mums. But she's amazing, always has been. So why her, she's done nothing but work hard and be a good person her whole life. She brings Education initiatives to kids and schools around the world, Malawi, mountain village in Thailand and so on,...
