    Im just so relieved that this operation was a success and has given me a chance to carry my own child. I hope this gives ppl hope if they are going through the same choices and options, that you have to do whats right for you and try other options x x

    Dad's passing

    Less than 3 weeks after the news that dad had terminal liver cancer, he has passed away.  I cannot believe how quickly the time has flown by.  He went into our local hospice last Friday and died late last night with my mum and their dogs by his side.

    He went so quickly at the end, very peacefully.  The last few days have been upsetting and exhausting, and I know the following days will be the same while I support my mum through death notifications, funeral arrangements and the needs of daily life.  But...

    That's what I am feeling right now.
    Today, just up the street, was a cluster of neighbours talking on the sidewalk. The news is that one of our neighbour’s wife died of cancer yesterday. I didn’t really see her that often and I see him slowly walking his dog occasionally. His dog is an ancient, overweight, mild mannered Jack Russell. Unlike my boxer dog Kojak who is the opposite of mild. I saw him out once walking just as slowly and carefully with her too. She was wearing her chemo headscarf and looked thin and pale. I remember saying...

    The story so far ...

    My name is Gill, I am 33. I grew up in the North West with the greatest parents in the world.

    I am a fixer of things - people and problems and this is the story of how I am trying to cope with the biggest 'problem' that I cannot fix or mend or even paper over.

    My mum was first diagnosed with cancer in 2005, it was uterine and she had a full abdominal hysterectomy. This was followed by radiotherapy, all went well.

    The following summer she began to experience symptoms of an inner ear disorder...

    Knock Knock! - Who is it? - Cancer!

    Ok. first of all. I hope everyone I recall speaking with and receiving kind messages from last year are still around and thriving.

    I am here again. My cancer has re-emerged from the dark recesses of its poisoned pit of ugliness to try and get another foothold. and im not having it!

    My oncologist told me a few days ago that I am going to need a RPLND - a lymph node dissection.

    Scans have shown that something is growing and needs to come out.

  • My Partner Has Breast Cancer - Our Story
    End of Chemo - The beginning of the end (we hope!)

    Yesterday marked 3 weeks after Sal's final chemo. In a week she starts radiotherapy.

    I have deliberately not been posting to  this blog recently as we are now trying to put as much of the treatment behind us. So, with that in mind, I have decided to stop this blog.

    This blog has been very worthwhile for me. It has allowed me to vocalise my thoughts as treatment progressed and to get others thoughts and feedback. I want to thank everyone who contributed. I hope it has helped others.

    Sal is doing...
