Hi All
As I finished my last post with a mountain climbing analogy, I thought I'll stick with it.
I will be starting R CHOP for the first time tomorrow and I'm a little apprehensive, but I see this as the base camp and if I want to get to the top this is the starting point. I was reading up about the treatment and its side effects, but found it was depressing me so I stopped. I'm happier to go into this in blissful ignorance and then cope with the few side effects that I get, rather than...
Although I seem to have arrived at a reasonable state 16 months after my operation for Cancer of the Oesophagus (Gullet), I still feel a need to make contact with others who have experienced the same, or similar, operation. I live in Pevensey Bay and was operated on in Brighton. Of course none of the Professionals could guide me towards other patients, so I have sort of been left to get on with it. There is a newly formed Oesophageal Patients Association for the Sussex Coast but it only meets quarterly...
Today should have been the day I found out the results from my mastectomy and when the chemo will be starting, but as usual the results are not back so have another week to wait, on the upside have received an appointment through the post today (was only posted yesterday) for another appointment next Thursday at 9 oclock so at least the appointment is 1st thing in the morning so can get it all over and done with and hopefully the whole day will not be a washout.
Well my lovely cousin is taking real...

That's how long it is since my eldest daughter passed away. I wrote a blog during her illness and have decided to start one up again.
Grief is a monster. It sneaks up on you, sometimes when you least expect it. Last weekend I went to a Trophy Shop in town to purchase an award to present in memory of Melissa. It is awarded to the pupil who shows enthusiam or inspires others in a particular lesson or subject.
The inscription on the award is . . . . "To inspire is within us all"
...I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer in July 2001. I had had no real symptoms ( well to me any way)
My monthlys stopped in Jan 2001. Oh l thought l have gone into the change. thought nothing about it any more expecting to find l started again the next month.
I found l was putting on weight so started to go to the gym to do some think about it. The weight continued to climb until going to the gym was a real effort and l was too tired to go. what really pushed me was two ladies were joining the gym...
3 days now since my wonderful Mum passed away and today it has just hit me like a tonne of bricks. Don't know if its because the local paper is out today with the announcement in, making it official, or what but I don't think I could ever feel as low as I do today.
Another mountain of cards has just dropped through the letterbox, with lovely messages in about mum and what a lovely lady she was, so why was she taken from us, why can't they take the bad people away and leave the special ones...
