Husband was booked into have both tonsils removed but as seems to be normal for us things haven't gone as planned. One tonsil was removed but the other tonsil turned out to be enmeshed with the tumour which they have now found on his tongue. Biopsy has shown its too advanced and too large for surgery - I'm gutted. From a completely non medical point of view surgery seemed to be offering the best hope so to find out that this isn't happening has come as quite a shock. It was very difficult at the...
My mum passed away on the 2nd October at around 7pm.
It was an awful day. I got up and went to work as usual whilst dad was still at the hospital. He texted me in the morning to tell me that she was up in bed and talking. Which she was doing when I left her the day/night/I have no idea anymore before. She was making jokes and being sarcastic as usual.
I went to work and got on with my day and felt good enough to
Actually I cant do this right now Ill finish this another time. Sorry guys, I hope...

I’ve been keeping busy lately catching up with some recommendations. I have to thank a lady for recently introducing me to the music of four wonderful singers. I do hope our paths cross again one day as I want to tell you how grateful I am to you. I’d also love to know what else is in your music collection!
So my new favourite singers are Brenton Wood, Billy Stewart, Ray Peterson and Teddy Randazzo. Any other fans out there?
With the exception of Brenton Wood they began recording before...
My husbands glands on both side of his neck were still uncomfortable so Leukaemia man sent us for a CT scan just to rule out anything sinister but most likely it was as a result of the CLL - nothing to worry about Yeah Right !! Visit GP too as the pain is becoming worse around the neck - she urged us to contact for scan results. I knew at this point that we were in for something more sinister but my darling husband was completely oblivious to her urgency . I realised she had spotted something that...
End of May this year saw my husband feeling slightly uncomfortable around his neck area. Two subsequent visits to the GP and antibiotics didn't sort him out. Blood test was taken and leukaemia was the result. I remember the day the GP phoned with that result - it made me physically sick. I was sweating and shaking, my darling husband was ill. We were busy people, we didn't have time to be ill or sick yet alone have leukaemia. I spent many days after that in a very dark place - shocking news does...
I shouldn't have made that last blog post. I basically jinxed everything.
That night (about 10pmish) my sister texted me to say that dad had rang an ambulance for mum because she was in agony and couldn't move. Dad picked me up on the way to the hospital and we were basically following the ambulance there.
We were put in a little waiting room and it was a good hour before we could see her and they were doing various tests. They were just about to do another x-ray on her when dad dropped...
Six months today since mam passed. next week would of been her birthday and in 24 days its six months for dad passing.
I thought i was doing ok, but last night driving home from work it hit me that I would never be going to their house ever again. I drive passed their street every day on the way to work or school but not actually seeing the house. I don't know what made me think about it that day but it was really hard. I don't want to think of other people living there. It's the house that we all...
