    Weight off my mind
    Hi there Well today I feel as though a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. This may sound negative to some of you but to me it was something I had to do as it has been on my mind for the past 3 months. I have arranged and paid for my funeral today, in fact I have just arranged a celebration! I have much to celebrate, I have the most wonderful husband, an almost perfect son (I don't think any of us are perfect) and fabulous grandchildren. I also have the most fantastic friends that...

    Chernobyl: My Fall-Out
    I have now accepted my terminal diagnosis and am able to have a pretty good life at the moment; unlike many of you I have no debilitating side-effects, a fact for which I'm grateful. I do think 43 is rather young, but chemo suite experience has made me realise that I am fortunate in comparison to these poor young girls aged 30 and under: at least I've had my opportunities and life lessons and adventures. My problem is a nagging doubt about the cause of my cancer. I have blogged about this before...

When I went to optometrist a month ago she said mole has increased in size, she has referred me to an eye specialist. Am bit scared as I do not know...

    Does this site help
    I was diagnosed with cancer 12 years ago I also have that heart disease where the usual symptom is that you drop dead. (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) After 2 years experimenting snaring the tumours and burning the area they were in with argon lasers had my stomach taken out 10 years ago. Mistakes happened during the operation and I have been left in a lot of pain. No one expected me to live for long after.
