  • Families - who'd have them?!!
    My brother - his sister!!

    I give up!! My husband had his emergency op when they discovered his cancer exactly one year ago now - and in all this time his sister has not once been up to see him and rarely rings.  The last occasion her husband rang and when my husband asked to talk to her, was told she was engrossed watching the TV, so he left it!!

    When I got upset with my sister-in-law a little while back, she said it was not that she did not love my husband, but she had seen her husband's cousin when she had terminal breast...

    The day before the day before...

    The day before the day before something is a curious time. Anticipation is building yet it's not actually the day, or even the day before the day..

    Have been out and had a haircut and bought a few new clothes specially for the occasion. Now just bored waiting...

    Happy St Patrick's Day to be sure to be sure..

    Operation Dyson Mission 1 Farts!
    Afternoon! Thought I should fill you in on the story so far. On my phone that has its own weird idea or what I am trying to say and keeps changing the words so apologies for lack of sense or random words. What's different you say? Anyway I got the taxi tot he hospital for 7am they sit you in a waiting room until your op and then you get your. Bed afterwards . So I sat in a little room in my gown, dvt surgical stockings and giant paper knickers . What a glorious sight! The knickers are see through...

  • When my heart began to break
    Ups And Downs
    So today I had the doctors to discuss my anti depressents I explained about my situation and about my dad. I was shocked when he said he would be inclined to take me off the medication. I don't want to become reliant on them but I am pretty sure I would have already crumbled by now had it not been for the meds taking the edge off emotions. So after a long chat instead he changed the meds instead. By no means am I coping well with my dads diagnosis but I feel in a better place to at least try and...

  • My mothers carer.
    Celebration of a true gentleman..

    As most of you know uncle passed away today,I was with him for 3 hours just holding his hand and talking to him. I knew he was going to die and was prepared ( in my own way) for it. I said all the things I wanted to say to him and thought long and hard about staying another hour. Rightly or wrongly I decided to leave him. Drove home to hear the house phone ringing..it was the nursing home, he'd passed away an hour after I left! Just my luck..but then thinking of it I don't know if I'm sort of glad...

  • My Life With Cancer
    Work not working

    Despite my promises to myself to give my job a fair chance it looks as though I've managed to last all of two days because after this morning I'm almost certain I can never go back again.  I just don't need the stress or the misery.  My job has changed out of all recognition and I just don't feel up to the challenge of learning all the new tasks they want me to take on.  I had to choke back tears more than once and took in almost nothing I was being shown.  All I could think of was that...

  • My mothers carer.
    Weary..
    This is the third time of trying to post this, if it doesn't work this time..I'm going to bed! Shit day, took mother to visit uncle in the nursing home, he's very poorly, in fact he's dying. So mother did the whole drama queen, wailing etc! Spent three hours stroking his hand and whispering in his ear our secret code for I Love You. Mother demands a sandwich from the carer cos she's hungry ( she's got more front than Brighton pier) then goes back to wailing. Worried about my dogs being...
