I don't know if i'm using this site right. I've got blogs and comments all over the place. Sort of sounds like my family at the moment.
My dad reacted to the news well on Thursday. on Friday it hit him. It broke my heart to hear him cry and say he had so much he needed to tell his 6 year old grandson.
Your emotions and thoughts fly all over the place don't they? Yesterday we were talking about a big family holiday in a couple of years. I just pray the op they can do is the one that...
Manged to push enough drugs into the system to get to see my youngest son arrive at his prom.He knew how hard it was for me to get there and how rough i must have been feeling, he immediatelt came over to me gave me a massive hug and said thaks mum for coming. I have no idea how i managed not to cry my eyes out i was so moved and emotional. Even more amazing is that they diagnosed him when he was 3 with Autusim and the prognosis was not good, 13 years on and he looks like to be getting 8 or so GCSE...

I often feel guilty browsing the Mac site and wondering if I trully belong here, but have no where else to vent my thoughts and frustations at a condition cancer that isn't a cancer - if that makes any sense - given that the tumor's are agressive and invasive; can recur; but the big plus is that do not spread; and certainly where mine was located, is not life threatening. So before I proceed I apologise in advance if you feel I shouldn't be blogging here, simply press your 'Back' button and...
Hello mates hope you are all doing well, I have missed you whilst at the medical mansion.
Well the op is over and i am thrilled to say it was a success as was my breast reconstruction. Still very sore, swollen and achey but Im home and on the road to recovery so i can commence the next part of my journey.
The care and attention i was given at Walsgrave Hospital was second to none and i cannot say enough about the whole experience. It almost seems as if this little part of the journey was absolutely...
Well another day, a good day too. Happy news for a change, I met my 8th grand-daughter today. Little bit of family history so you will understand why its been so long before meeting her.
My son (always the little bleeder) is serving a 4yr prison sentence for a drunken brawl, he is not normally a fighter so this was a shock to us all. He started his sentence 6th December last year. In May this year his fiancee decided to end the relationship (bless him, never been good a being a bad boy, always got...
Nearly 6 years ago my nan (dad's mums) was diagnosed with cancer, this was a horrific experience for me as I'd never had anyone close to me die. My mum and I and the rest of the family looked after her at our home untill she passed away.
Then last year my other nan (mum's mum) was diagnosed with cancer, she also went to live with my mum and dad and brothers, (i had moved out by this time). From being diagnosed, nan had lived for a few weeks but had the best possible care from everyone especially...
My dads op was meant to be yesterday. After working in the morning I went up to my mums with my sister and 2 nephews. We'd just made a drink when my dad phoned us and said we needed to get there quick.
The anaethetist said because of my dads history and the fact his 1 kidney is only working to a third of its capacity things are bad. They think the tumour in his femur is from the kidney and its aggressive. We have 3 options.
1. Do nothing and the femur will snap within 48 - 72 hours if he comes...
Words are hard to find to express what I feel.
I am living the life of two people and I am getting tired.
The time off I get from Caring is usually used up with errands connected to Cancer.
But enough about me.............
Julie is plodding on, occasionally under too much medication but mostly coherant and pain free.
Outwardly she is not the girl I married but underneath she is still the woman I love
