Im having a sad day today - I feel incredibly guilty about this as Im only the carer, it is my husband that is dealing with cancer not me! I could barely get around the supermarket praying that no one spoke to me in case i burst into tears. I then rushed to my car and then sat and sobbed all the way home. I just dont know whats wrong with me. Sorry folks, I just had to get that out there.
Dear Dad,
Hey,,,, how are you? Just wanted to drop you a quick line because I miss you so much, its a physical pain, I just want to hold you, smell you, laugh with you, Its been 9 months now and it's not getting any easier dad, it seems to be getting worse, your always in my thoughts and I love you so much and miss you terribly.
Think I need to " get down the docs" as you would tell me, and get myself sorted out.
Night Night Dad
I love you
Speak soon

Hi
I was rediagnosed with a nodule on my Liver & something on my remaining kidney 2 weeks ago for the 3rd time.......was put on Sutent straight away & told that case would be discussed at next MDT.
Now out of the blue have received a MRI scan appointment & unsure why, Im guessing they either want a closer look at the Liver as there is a problem (although my Onc did say that although it is there it wasnt life threatening) or they are considering if the tumour is operable.
Really anxious...

Today, 24th April, Shawn turned 42. My gorgeous husband is half way through his radiotherapy treatment for an inoperable GBM.
The sun came out for a couple of hours, which isn't that usual for Scotland, but nonetheless, it was a beautiful day. A couple of friends and a BBQ were in order to celebrate Shawn's birthday.
Tomorrow is an early radiotherapy appointment, instead of 10.40 am it's been pushed back to 9.40 am because of the Easter weekend. So, that means no consultant tomorrow, but...
back home after the penultimate chemo but boy am i tired. it's taken a lot out of me this time and ive got the sick feeling constantly. been put on nosinan again but the correct dosage this time lol but not doing much yet. don't know whether to move around and do stuff or just sit and chill (sometimes think that makes you more tired).
