    Long tyme no blog lol

    Hi all sorry i havent blogged for a while, havent been getting to grips with this site, but think i'm getting the hang of it now lol

     

    If someone was to say to me right now ''How do u feel''? My reply would be ''Nothing'' Because i dont i feel complete numbness, If someone came to me now and hit me over the head with a blunt i dont think i would feel a thing, It's weird i dont think i've cried once since i found out my Mum has Cancer, It had'nt really hit me. She had all her head shaved the...

    Happy now

    Well I have finally made peace with my mum. Mum called me tonight and we talked for over an hour  We chatted about how I am feeling,about my treatment. Mum likes to tell jokes so we laughed together. I asked her to come with me on 4th for my third treatment and she said she would. I can go to bed happy tonight, not feeling sad not feeling guilty. Tomorrow is another day and one I am looking forward to. Night night every body I hope you sleep well. Love Julie XX

    The story so far ...3

    Brilliant news!  Dad had appointment with consultant today - although during surgery the lymph nodes looked cancerous, it turns out they were all fine!  Cancer was just confined to bladder and prostate.  I could have cried.  This is the best news we could have hoped for.  Dad will still have to have a further operation to remove his urethra.  During the main surgery they decided against removing the urethra, as the lymph nodes looked so bad the surgeon thought the cancer had already spread.

    Mum had her...

    it's over

    My Danny died early this morning.  He hung on as long as he could and fought so hard to stay with me.  I am lost without him.

    Thankyou

    A BIG thankyou to all who answered my blog Guilty.

    It is true there is alot of love on this site and I definitely feel it this past 24 hours.

    I haven't yet spoken to my mum, members of my family were present and witnessed the argument, I spent last night on my own, no-one rang me to see how I was, my distress and heartache obviously went unnoticed by my sisters. I still feel guilty about the incident but it is not an isolated case I have spent my life feeling guilty about my mum.

     Guilty b...

    Day 41 Bertiebassetts return Journey

    We are going into day 41 since Bert started his Chemo (it lasted 5 days) and his counts are beginning to creep up, albeit very slowly. he had another couple of units of blood last night so I am hoping to see an improvement today when I visit.

    As far as I can gather as they keep changing things he now needs more cheme as it is about 6 weeks away before he goes for transplant. However he can't get his week at home until his counts go up more, then he has to have the chemo and then he has to wait for...

    the day my life changed
    Yesterday was the one day in my life i never thought that would happen- the day you are told you have a cancerous tumour- it's so true you never think that its ever going to be you. I have been having severe abnormal bleeding for a few weeks now and i took it to be down to the fact that i had the contaceptive implant placed just days before this bleeding started. I examined myself and i found what i would say is golf ball to tennis ball sized lump like you know when you blow a bubble and other bubbles...
