OK first time blogging so I'm not sure what I am doing.
God I could scream just about sums it up. I am fed up with his cancer!
I am worried and scared.
Came home from work this evening and he calmly informs me that he can't move his left foot properly. He sat on the sofa and sort of pulled his toes towards him, the right ones moved a good couple of inches, but the left ones moved maybe a cm. He then informs me that his arm feels heavy and his left hand feels a bit funny. He has had some...
Hi All,
Another positive today, I havent done the usual and come home from work and just crawled into bed. Stopped off at Sainsburys treated the whole family to fresh cream cakes (there's even one with my name on) and have managed to throw together a fairly good tea for all ...sausage casserole and mash. feel quite chuffed with myself as was feeling guilty that my other half bless him was picking up all the slack and more. If it keeps up like this they all might get a roast dinner out of me Sunday...
Just had results back from blood test - all ok for chemo tomorrow - first session - fingers crossed it works for mum. An occupational therapist came to see mum today and said, she cannot get a grant for a new bathroom with a walk in shower. Fine there we are then!!!!
Can't believe it's been just over a week since we were told my partner of 13 years had cancer.
It all started a couple of months ago when he started to get stomach pains. We started to do research and cut out wheat - at the time he was really fed up about not being able to eat pizza. To be able to go back there would be amazing.
He went to the doctor and they suggested laxatives which didn't help at all - next satge was a blood test. This came back normal, apart from the 'start of liver...

My Mum's just recently been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. I've only just come onto this site and already reading other peoples' stories has made me cry. She's only 58 and I am about 20 years younger than her. It's already spread from her lung to her other parts of her body, therefore they can't operate and won't offer radiotherapy only 6 courses of chemo. It's so unfair and I feel like screaming. She lives abroad and is not allowed to travel back to the UK...
Things are looking up...just managed to eat a whole slice of wholemeal toast, I am sure if I can get this sick feeling under control and my apetite back then I will feel a lot better, Im sure its just nerves though cos I was eating like a horse last week.
Even managed to answer the phones today and not done too much wandering round the office aimlessly.
Hope everyone is ok.
love Terri xx
