Saturday morning and there were clumps of hair on the pillow so I did what any caring Husband would do and got my trimmer out and gave Julie a Number 1. The trimmer in one hand and the Hoover in the other - just the thing for a lazy morning in bed.
I wish I looked as good as her with no hair..........lol
Sunday was a good day. Julies mum was 80 so we booked a table at a local eatery for 20 and had a big family get together. Julie was OK but the time spent in the dining chair had to be compensated...
Well, I thought this blog would be a great place for me to explore my emotions by writing about my second journey with cancer. I'm hoping that it will help motivate me prepare for surgery and do all the things that make me happy in life: playing and listening to music, cooking, gardening, reading, being with my new partner, and enjoying my friendships.

Well, this wasn't how I thought things were going to go, given the fact that up till last Wednesday consultants were telling me they didn't think anything was wrong. Last Wednesday morning I spoke to a gynae consultant about my abdominal pain and bloating and he said he would do a laparoscopy if i was so worried but he didn't think he would find anything significant i my 4cm ovarian cyst was perfectly normal for a woman of my age. He said i may just have to learn to live with whatever...
Hi all,
It has been a bit of a nervous wait for my consultant appointment. Although I try to stay positive i wasn't too sure if the recent lot of chemo had made a real difference. However, I am glad to say that the cancer has been greatly reduced, it does not affect any organs and the CA125 is 19. PHEW! I am feeling well and do not need any more treatment at present but I will have a checkup and blood test every two months. My consultant had already told me that they are looking to control...
Hi all - time for an 'emotions' update. Weeks ago, before my diagnosis, a colleague of my partner invited us to a Mexican themed get-together at her house. I had even bought a 'chilli pepper' outfit for the event (everyone else went as a Mexican Bandit). Come Saturday, the day of the event, I was completely torn about whether or not to turn up. I half wanted to go because it was a chance to forget everything, and yet I knew that there would obviously be questions which might ultimately...
I dont believe it! I've been so busy that 6 months have flown by without me noticing.
Mum is still alive and kicking. She recovered well from her heart attack last August but mentally and emotionally it did take its toll on her.
I'm half way through my college course (Complementary therapies, Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) which I'm enjoying and hating at the same time. My brain cells are so slow that any assignment that should take 6 hours usually takes me about 3 full days. I...
