Everything was going to be okay, just a dark tunnel to go through but they always say there is light at the end of the tunnel. Putting on my brave face i took in the fact that it was cancer and that it was going to be a struggle but just kept thinking of how it was just going to take up a year of my life then i would get rid and live happily ever after...but lifes never that easy.
A few days ago i had an appointment with my surgeon whom was going to be removing my stomach. I was nervous because this...
So on Sunday I was admitted to Hospital in York with back pain so bad that even a dose of morphine didnt last longer than 1 hour.. turns out I had a kidney infection.. not bad you think what you complaining about right?? well heres the kicker while looking into the kidneys they find a mass on my cervix that they were a little worried about.. so on Wednesday I went for a biposy and the Doc pushed for the results to be done as fast as possible.. he got them turned around in 24 hours..Sadly it confermed...
Its just over a week since Julie left.
I have shed a lot of tears with friends and family
I have arranged for the funeral at Nuneaton Crem on 25th at 12.45am.
I went today to say goodbye and hold her hand for the last time.
I left a photo of the grand children in her hand and placed a bracelet round her wrist that our grand daughter had made. She is only nine but is strong enough to console Julies mum when she arrived back from the Chapel of Rest, distraught.
I have kept myself busy to try...

Don't forget the speech marks.
I have posted in the forums too so please excuse me doubling up but I really want to try and get as much advice as possible. My blog is not about me today but my lovely nan who has just had 2 high dose radiotherapy treatments to her mouth/jaw. She was diagnosed a few weeks back with low grade lymphoma which has presented in her mouth.

Anything tis appreciated

Life may be a bowl of cherries, as the saying goes, but it seems I always stand in the line of fire when someone spits out the pips. I was wandering about today looking to buy a pair of shoes because this dammed CHF thing has caused edema, especially on my left foot, and until the diuretic tablet does it's job and reduces the effect I now have a size 9 and a size 10 and a bit. To start with my feet were different inasmuch as I have a higher instep on my left, so on the bread falling butter side down...
