my amazing dad has been battling cancer for nearly 2 years now(wish i had found this site then)i thought i would write a diary /blog of how his treatment is going. it all began back in april 2009 when a urine infection showed up a tumour on his right kidney.he was whisked in to hospital to have the kidney removed within a week and the op was a success.he felt great after the op and back to normal within days so it came as a great shock to us all at his 3 month check up that the cancer had returned...

Just over a year ago, I was able to blog that Gary had responded well to the treament he had recieved in at a German clinic, and was in remission.
We had some very precious months together, leading normal lives, until in September, the tumour started to grow again, and spread to his second lung.
Although he fought on bravely, he became more emaciated and debilitated by the week.
On 17 December 2010, he lost his battle, falling asleep in his favourite chair and never waking up.
Because he died...
morning everyone. haven't written for a bit due to dodgy internet mainly but also i didn't want to write anything when i wasn't in the right frame of mind. i was feeling great but last wednesday began to feel wery sick - like a hangover without the enjoyment hehehehe i could cope with that but it does drag you down - especially when you feel good apart from that. friend rallied round to cheer me up but there were tears as i was soooo frustrated.
went to docs on friday and got nozinan...
got to ring docs - after sailing through my 3 month check on Tuesday, the letter to my gp arrived on saturday morning. It mentions normal bloods except for elevated alp of 143 and that they are waiting for an LDH test result. No mention on the day, the sw*ne. Was a new doc, so maybe he didn't realise til later but i've been gently stewing all weekend (because there's no-one to ring) and getting my head back in 'sensible cancer' mode. I know it's maybe to do with liver/bones...

My fiance died on wednesday, which is four days ago. It feels completely unreal right now, and I feel like I have to share. Some of you may find what I write uncomfortable or hard, but I hope you all understand.
We were due to get married in April, but Phil went downhill very quickly. He was admitted to a hospice on Monday, and we pulled the wedding forward to Friday. Wednesday he took a big turn for the worse, and the hospice quickly organised a special license to get married Wednesday. Unfortunately...
It's been over 6 months since dad died. Mum appears to be coping well, I know she struggles and is obviously still grieving, although she keeps her feelings mostly private. I thought I was strong and could cope, but I'm not coping now. I had a miscarriage just before Xmas and the experience was horrible. The timeframe in getting the shock of diagnosis to the end (less than 3 weeks) was scarily similar to when dad was diagnosed with cancer then died. I found out unexpectedly that I was pregnant...
