I visited hospital yesterday and found out that my cancer has not spread its a little more advanced than we thought but should be operable. I have been told that a third surgeon is needed for my operation so I know this should hopefully ensure all goes well. Due to the complex nature of the surgery I may have to wait a bit longer as this will now be on the nhs and will take up to a month.
Yesterday I felt happier than i had in weeks so thats a step in the right direction. I am also finally getting...

Spoke to the Macmillian advisor at our local CAB today to be told that as we have some savings we wont get any financial help even thought my husband has been made unemployed recently:((
So we have to dip into our savings which should be their for us when we retire to fund our travels to and from hospital and parking:((
On the up side I did come home from work with a lovely bunch of flowers and a bar of choclate:))
Well, it's nearly that 3 month check up time again. Why is it that one day you feel on top of the world, with nothing going wrong. full of the joy of spring, and the next day you have a pain and the reality comes crashing in again? Monday I was out shopping for new clothes for the summer, had my wedding ring made bigger (a job I have been putting of as 'not worth it if I'm not going to be around for long), booked my appointments and felt fit and healthy and looking forward to a long summer of...
Well here we are at the start of a new day and am trying to look for all the good things.
Yesterday evening we came home from husband's first radiotherapy session to find a beautiful miniature rose plant on the doorstep with a card from the folks who live across the road to say they were thinking of us both.
On Sunday, we finally got to have the Big Tea Party we'd planned for David's birthday in February but had to postpone. It was touch and go whether David could make it to this party as he...
Well folks I am still here and still recovering.So much has happened the last 19th months.My bowels have calmed down and in honesty only eating better and enjoying my food in the last 3 weeks! think taste buds are back to working! Still getting tired and washed out and certainly glad I retired as dont think would have managed at work.Have managed my first live performance so back on the road again but this time I can choose when I want to do it.Hospital check next week so fingers crossed.I feel so...
Today has been a much better day. Very little tears and a get things done attitude. I eventually went out and bought new curtain poles for my front room after they fell down in February oops! It will be nice not having the room look bare and feel cold without them. I bought some more presents for my daughters birthday and started to sort some of my craft stuff ready for a little craft room. Never realised I had so much stuff that has never been used so might have to have a good clear out. I have...
Had my biopsy yesterday (18th Apr 12) I have to admit, I was scared as I didn't know quite what to expect. They put in the anaeshtetic (I can never spell that bloody word!) and away they went. I watched it on the screen as it was happeneing. I can't say that it wasn't painful, because it was...but I can say that it wasn't as painful as I was expecting it to be!
They did two biopsies and got (I hope) what they needed, gave me a leaflet and sent me home.
I tried to ask the doctor...
