Today I took down the xmas decorations, cleaned the lounge from top to bottom and relished in the normality now that xmas is out of the way, this led me to thinking how we will feel when (fingers crossed) Rich is cancer free.
Hiya well i hope you all had a lovely xmas and great new year :-)
I had a wonderfull time with the kids, only to return home and find my boiler had leaked through to my living room... what a lovely treat for me!! I threw my landlord the keys to my house and stormed out crying and refused to return until the leak and the ceiling was fixed, i cant wait to move now!!!
I had chemo again on thrusday, really struggled with the cold cap again and i cant wait until its over now. They have put me on new...
Well it's over at last, thank goodness. This is the worst Christmas and New Year I've ever had. It's 8 weeks since my wonderful husband died and I'm absolutely lost without him. Friends and family have been great, but they can't replace the love of my life. A neighbour asked me how Christmas had gone and I said 'awful'. She said it would be the same every year as Frank had died so near Christmas. That's something to look forward to!
Back to working full days tomorrow...
well woke up this morning and the first thing that came into my head was chemo only 9 days away for gods sake not what time is it cos i got to get my son to euston by 11 or i have to waken up my daughter for work but bloody chemo !!! its doing my head in its all i can think about and i so want to scream leave me alone !!!! but i know it wont cos im so scared of this thing!!!!
i dont want to think of being sick or ill because right now im not ill im ok well know i have cancer but i havent got any...
Went to see specialist 23rd dec to be told surgery is the only option left for me so it is booked for 25th feb. What a xmas present. Im trying my hardest to keep it together but Im either really angry or I cry over nothing. I dont seem to have any normal feelings any more. I havent actually been out shopping or anything for over a year because my bladder is such a problem so you would think I would be thinking of the future and that I will eventually be able to go out but I cant. Im just feeling fed...
i don't mean to sound like a horrible person and i think deep down if people are in the same position as me think the same - but sometimes, don't you just wish that the suffering would end even if early, but just so the suffering would stop.
Before christmas, mum had a bleed in her stomach - they've managed to sort that, but she's still getting weaker - now not eating anything at all just has three drinks a day - what kind of quality of life is this? Life is just so unfair - i'm thankful...
Hi .
i have not posted anything on this site before as I didn t feel i knew enough about the subject to comment .
My husband was diagnosed 7th sept with grade 4 tonsil cancer which has spread to the back of the tongue ..we went through the usual bit of tonsils out followed by four teeth on the right side and then two regimes ..First one being week 1 week 4 and week 7 of taxotere , cisplatin and 5pu on a pump for 5 days ...The week of treatment was harsh with nausea and sickness no matter what...
I have just lost my loving husband to cancer of the gullet and am finding it really hard to come to terms with him not being around
I have been keeping an online blog for quite a while
