So I finally got a keyboard for my tablet. I've been finding it impossible to type on the one on screen. In the past I've only been able to update my blog at work which is a little risky considering how public that can be at times and now we're far too busy for me to be able to do it there.
I also miss being able to keep upto date with my friends on here, who I care and think about on a daily basis.
My mum is currently doing well. Last week she was admitted to hospital and was diagnosed...
Nothing salacious simply that i promised to keep this blog updated and its been weeks but the title may have attracted a wider audience.
2 September was hospital day so the children (5 and 3) stayed at my wifes friends the night before so we could get to the RVI for 7.30am. Kids love sleepovers. I wasnt looking forward to mine so much! My wife was nervous but i was calm as we waited in ward 45 and thankfully i was first on the list so i got my stockings and suspenders on (ok stockings) and gown...
hi all.
so i raged at my kids yesterday because they were fighting between them. they don't really know what i am going through so i can't really blame them. kids are kids after all. but i am very short at people i don't have much patience but today i woke up better. in a good mood. i was tired though that is something you really feel all day long but i had a smile on my face. one glance at my children everything was fine. tummy is coming around, it has not decided yet ... constipation or diarrhea...
Been really fed up of the constant water infections and the side effects of the Zoladex but maybe, just maybe, I think I have seen the worst of it. My own doctor has been very supportive no matter how many times I have been to see him giving me no end of encouragement even though I ask him the same questions whenever I see him. Next week I am due for my next Zoladex implant, Following week, another PSA blood test and the week after I have an appointment with Mr Koneru my specialist so things are...
well i had a good nights sleep.
still very bad constipation which i cant get rid of no matter what. just now at 23:00 i had the last of the medication (the one with steroids) that has to do with chemo (anti vomiting etc etc).
i feel tired very frequent and i have lost some of the taste buds in my mouth, everything taste almost the same. i have jumps in my heart rate and hot waves rushing to my face, feel all red suddenly and then cools off.
i am eating very small portions several times a day,...
Well it's now the middle of September and Dad is feeling good. He seems to have found some new vigor from somewhere! He's back to walking around the park like he used to before the diagnosis. He's also managed some light shopping on his own which is helping his self esteem.
His weekly visits to the day centre have given him a new interest to talk about although he seems to moan about having to wait to be dropped off home at the end of the day. I do ask him what he needs to rush home...
My Amazing Dad passed away at 6.15pm on Tuesday 17 September. He was at home surrounded by his family...just as he wanted. This blog post may be upsetting to some so I apologise if it is but I need to get everything from the last week or so written down.
Last night i had a good nights sleep from 23:00-06:00 with no interference during the night (not that i can remember anyway). Before i went to bed i felt tummy acks, took some ginger before i went to bed. I lit in the room an oil burner with a few drop of mint so i fell a sleep with nice aroma in the room. got up in the morning took my wheat grass juice and dosed off again till 07:30. This morning i don't feel and nausea feeling, i DO HAVE constipation which i will try to get rid of with a few dries...

I keep looking at this site and have finally plucked up the courage to ask for some advice. My dad was diagnosed with final stage pancreatic cancer at the beginning of Aug and has been given a timescale from between 8 - 12 weeks. He has lived in Spain for the last 26 years. My mum passed away from liver disease only a year and a half ago and I know we have all struggled to come to terms with that before receiving this other horrible blow. My dad now lives in Spain on his own so between myself and...
