My blog
We have been to London this weekend to the Mesothelioma uk 2011 Conference at the Novotel Hotel
So I have been away over the weekend and tried to put the fact that am having a minor op tomorrow out of my mind.
The fact that the weather has been so glorious has helped - although it was so hot in the house i was staying in that i could not sleep.
Why didn't you open a window I hear you ask? Well on arrival on Friday night at said house in the country we were buzzed by hornets who were nesting in the eaves of the house. I have never seen a hornets face before but these were big - very big. I...
MIRACLES DO HAPPEN: SURVIVING TERMINAL CANCER
Nothing is certain. Miracles are part of our lives. Surprisingly perhaps for a teacher, I have scathing disrespect for so-called scientific knowledge and medical ‘facts’ and this is due to my personal experience with cancer.
The 30th June 2009 is the date I was confirmed as dying. My surgeon declared me inoperable, terminally ill and with at most six months to live. It is on this day my story starts.
I knew immediately, as I caught...
Can't sleep (one of the reasons I decided to create the blog) so have decided to carry on!
Took BB home early in the morning. All of a sudden she is huggy, touchy, feely but I don't think anything of it and put it down to the stress of the previous day and the rotten news.
All I can really remember about this day is feeling kind of numb but still so angry.
Mam and me went to the hospital for afternoon visiting to find the world and his wife there. I can remember feeling as though I was...
So, Fri night, Mars came over :) Had a lovely pizza and a lovely natter :))
And now I have a certain person's mobile number so looking forward to daft texts and visits too, heh heh heh!
Saturday, today, started with a long lie-in, and then me and Broni flopped about in front of TV together, and then Em came over for lunch and a natter which was very lovely... :))
And then Deri came home (than you mum for having her overnight & all day today!!) and we had cuddles and leaping around-ness (not...
Oh how I wish I had had the courage to start this two months ago. So much seems to have happened since then but I'm going to write this story from the beginning. I promise to do it in stages though and will not give you the whole two months at once.
On the 3rd August 2011 I went to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough for evening visiting. Gordy had been in hospital for a week. He had acute gut pain and the plan was to give him a CT scan as they thought he had gall stones. Two weeks previously...
Little My is getting bored eating take-aways as our new house doesn't have a cooker.. so today was the day we had to ...
Go And Buy A Cooker! Eeek.
This meant getting up rather early and driving a long way from the little middle of nowhere town to the big town with big shops that might sell cookers.
Before we start, if anyone reading this works at either of the electrical appliance shops beginning with C, no offence to you at all.... (not sure if you can use names on here so will use euphemisms...
We have now lived through 3 different types of cancers and this time I am struggling to understand what we can expect , after loosing our sons's step daughter to brain cancer and then for that same son to have testicular cancer which had spread to his abdomen seemed to beggar belief, he is now on the road to recovery and has returned full time to work last week after a year. but now we are faced with our daughter having been diagnosed with bowel cancer which has spread to her liver, she has just...
So my 25 yr old sister, claire, got dx'ed with cervical cancer about 6 weeks ago. the worst thing was, i was in australia at the time.
me and my gf went to see my sister after i landed.
i cannot understand what claire is going through. 25 is so young, you don't think it is going to happen. you get a letter saying you have abnormal cells but everyone says 'oh it'll be fine, i had that and they just did the loop on me and i was fine'. my gf's sister also came back with abnormal...
