nothing they can do as she already has a terminal fungal liver infection. Why is life so unfair to those that are so lovely
I only began writting on this site yesterday - brought on by feelings of depair & being alone. I felt guilty for having moaned about myself after reading other stories, but in a funny way it's somehow nice to belong -------- just a shame about the requirements for membership eh!
It's pouring with rain here today, so even the sky is looking miserable. Trying my best to buck-up my ideas & remain positive about things in general, but it's a damned struggle today.
Thanks to everybody...

Well after the bad news from yesterday dad seemed to perk up a little when they started the iv fluids he was up for a few visitors last night and also managed to tell my uncle where to go when he was winding him up all lightheartedly. When me and mum went in this afternoon he was sitting up in his bed and managing to have a conversation with us and showed us that the nurses had shaved him because he cant seem to hold a cup or anything just now, which is frustrating him no end for such a proud man...
Had my clinic appointment today. Bit disappointed my usual onc was off sick and I had lots of things to ask her but the stand in was fine.
