tomorrow i go for the results of my biopsy and find out if they have found the primary and to be told when my chemo is starting my insides are all over the place as are my thoughts cant seem to concentrate on anything there is just no reasoning with me and im better on my own right now........why is it when im being given comfort i want to retort with something that i hate hearing myself saying and its out my mouth before i know it .........maybe because im terrified if im given love and affection...
It has taken me a while to get back online as I have not been feeling great. Had a central line put in on the same day as my first chemo (3rd Dec) - made the mistake of saying I should be alright without the sedative. If anyone else has this option - take the sedative! I think I must just be a big baby. Anyway, had the first round of Taxotere. Will remember to take the sickness tablets religiously next time but wasn't too bad. However, very achey and couldn't get comfortable or sleep over the next...

in the last 3 years my family has had to tolerate the following. My mom has had thyroid cancer, my sister has had ovarian cancer, my wife has had breast cancer twice, my father in law has bowel cancer and now I have been told I have cancer of the esophogus... is there something someone is not telling me? are we just greedy? why us? It ssems that no matter how healthy we live our lives it keeps coming back and attacking another member of our family. Is this a joke??
Hello everyone, I hope you all had a restful Christmas.
Christmas day went nicely, the kids were amazing and kept me strong with their hyperactivity lol.
I think the expectation of how the day would be was far worse than the reality of it. Yes it was hard with Dad not being there but the day just kind of ticked along, i had my tears first thing and thought ok that is it i have cried now, now i'll enjoy the day with my family.
So today is Dec 27th 2010. Today we are scattering my Dads ashes at...

Christmas for some is a very sad time, memories of the past always seem to re appear. For me my memories are of my children who all died before there time, 1 month, 23 years and 24 years. And its so sad as this was time of year they loved the best. But I would not change a thing, they gave me a new out look on life, taught me how to be a better and stronger person and to give not just take. They believed in christmas and all that it stands for in both the religious and Father christmas way. Many happy...
