The last 2 weeks have been tough for Mum and for me. I don.t know what to do ,mum is still fighting but is becoming forgetful and more unsteady. Her moods have been up and down within minutes of each other . I have had to be shouted at and taken it on the chin . this week we are back at the hospital for a check up . I am not sure what will happen but am preparing for the worst no further treatment, I wish I could help more but she gets angry as she wants to do things for herself but just cant
Well time to stop being the silent majorit - This is a cancer support site set up to support those suffering with cancer. Let be straight Cancer is crap no one can argue with that. Suffering with cancer includes patients, Ex-patients, Carers, ex-careers Friends and relatives - we are all affected - the only qualification required.

Valentina is two
she is beautiful and she tells little 'feebies'
she started to kiss her dolly, properly and seriously
when we play 'peek a boo' she laughs at 'boo'
yesterday she asked me; 'Daddy...?'
and I told her.
you were born from love and magic
with dark hair and eyes like stars
in an early dawn, nostalgic
like me. the big lion with a heart of chocolate
her favourite food, after ice cream

I didn't write these blog posts to be all doom and gloom!
The happy ending to the story is that mum is getting better and we are all moving on with our lives with bigger and better things.
It was the hardest part of mine and my families life and although it was tough, I believe that it has made us stronger people. If you feel like it is getting to much to people, let it out to people who understand- I would highly recommend Macmillan for the best advice they could have given me.
I hope hearing...
Its odd to say that I was affected by my mums illness more after than during. I think because we all had to be strong for my mum, I didn't have time to sit around and mope!
After mum had check ups that came back clear and life seemed to get back to normal I thought I would be able to move on and put the bad times behind me.
This was not the case. I started suffering from serious panic attacks and become withdrawn from my former loud and bubbly personality. Rationally I knew all the operations...
After a year of my mum recovering and check ups, the last thing I expected was for my mum to come back from a standard check up and drop another bomb shell. She was finally getting her confidence back and started back at work- sitting at home by herself all day was driving her a bit stir crazy and she was glad to not be staring at the same 4 walls.
