2009 ended with a fab trip to Berlin with some lovely friends, and of course my dear husband. Had a peaceful easy and very enjoyable Christmas with just the four of us and my mum. My oncology appointment went very well,. Doc said 'I'm amazed your still here"! A quick prod her and there and then I was told to come back in 6 months.........yippeeee, the longest yet between appointments.
Had to see GP just after Christmas as I have a problem with my left ear, with a build up of pressure...
Well i've had a lovely x-mas. I stayed over at my Mums house, then went up to my new boyfriends house on Xmas afternoon, and spent the night there.
I've spent every night with him apart from 1 since then, and we've had loads of fun.
But this bloody cancer is always in the back of my mind. I'm back on pain killers, as the pain is becoming unbarable. I've tried not to complain when i'm around people, as I feel i'm bringing them down too.
The swelling over my right clavicle...
…… stress relief!
We’ve all read about it, all thought about it and now we’re going to deal with it. Stress. It’s perfectly natural to be stressed at various points in life and no doubt, in small doses, stress can be quite healthy. In bigger doses most of us would agree that it’s unhealthy. What I want to know is how to relieve stress when it builds up to volcanic levels, any ideas?
I can do the meditation stuff, focus on my breathing and all that but you do...

Hello all. I have never done this before, written a blog that is. I have fancied writing a blog before but never thought it would be about this. I have never had to deal with cancer before either. I feel the need to write things down. I thought about a diary or a journal but then thought it would be too depressing. Too insular. So, I'll type it here and we can share.
The difficulty I have is that I am writing this in the computer room of my parents' house. My adult sister also lives here with...
New years day was the same as any other day for us Bert fell asleep on New Years eve at teatime and slept until 11 am he did wake twice for tea but never drank it as he was asleep before I got it upstairs. y his friend came round but he would not wake up until much later so he got to see his friend for 5 mins and fess asleep again while talking to him.
It was a long day for me but a lazy day not that I have any different days at the moment.
