Not too bad a day all in all, had the luxury of a lie in and then spent a lazy day with my 3 yr old watchin buckets if CBeebies, am now findin that this thing that has decided to enter my life without an invite does play games with your mind, I discovered a lump at the top of my leg last nite and immediately flew into a blind panic, othe half still making his way home so sos phone call made to mum in law. 6 minutes later and she is standing here looking and feeling this lump, did...
Whoever said "time is a healer" made that up. As time passes it gets harder and harder and harder - not easier. I dont even know what to write, other than I am missing my wonderful dad more and more each day and the missing, remembering, and needing is impossibly hard. He was everything to me...how do you ever feel better about loosing someone so special and central in your life? I cant imagine ever feeling ok that he isnt here.
I lost him on 8th December 2008 and he was only 46 and me...
It's very difficult when a loved one has cancer, being a carer, wife, mother, to express how you are feeling without feeling guilty.
To watch the one you love struggling, when they are so determined, and not say anything, all they are really trying to do is protect others.
It has taken a long time to start my blog, as i find it really difficult to express how i am feeling, but have decided, now, for self preservation, its time to start.
hi - just a thought - i was wondering if anyone had any nice easy recipes which could be posted here - nice and easy to make as well as nice and even easier to eat - does this sound good to any one - i will post my recipe for lemon drizzle cake tomorrow - looking forward to seeing all the lovely recipes to get the taste buds going as well as giving me some ideas of what to bake while i am not at work - going to try and get some sleep now - at least we get an extra hour tonight - xoxo
Today we gathered to say goodbye to my dad, so many people some who knew him for a lifetime, some a short while. Was so lovely to see and hear people talking about him with such fond thoughts.I was very proud to be his daughter. So proud he was welsh, so proud to say "that was my Dad", the service was lovely, the minister so kind.
Its a week tomorrow since I lost my wonderful Dad, I struggle with the fact it is over so quckly, people talk about life moving on..I cant yet....its too soon...
Claire really enjoyed the fund raising night with Ghosts and mediums and suchlike. Joni on the other hand said it was a lot of nonsense. But still I hope they have raised a good sum for Anthony Nolan Trust, I think they were pleased that Bert got a mention (not by name of course) but it was announced that he would be benefiting from the funds raised as he is due to get his transplant in the near future. Bert still has an infected toe that is 6 weeks they have been treating it but with platelets of...
We went to see MIL today. Hubby has been seeing her everyday but I've been having to stay at home with the children. We took the boys to say goodbye. She is unable to hold a conversation and struggles even to finish a sentence. It would be unfair I think, at their age, to take them back when she is worse than she was today.
My sister in law's carers will be bringing her to say goodbye tomorrow. With her it would be likewise unfair to take her to visit once Sylvia has declined further. She has...
If any one out there knows or cares or has Acute Myelo Fibrosis please do get in touch we have no way of chatting to other people because this condition is so very rare .
My husband had a secondary cancer of an of an undiagnosed primary. The secondary originated in his groin, and now seems to have materialised in the left side of his fase, which has become numb, and causes excess saliva. The doctors have diagnosed carcinomatous meningitis as the most likely cause, but this cannot be substantiated without a lumbar puncture and even then he would only be given palliative care due to his general condition.
Does anyone know anything about this type of cancer?
Everything started going downhill from 16th September 2009. I received an urgent email from my cousin that my aunt, my Mum's sister, in Australia had passed away. I couldn't quite believe the news, she wasn't sick, she was in her 60's. I was on the phone to my sister, Hannah, at the time and couldn't quite believe the email. Immediately, I told Hannah I would phone her back as I had to try to get though to my Mum to break the news. No one was picking up the phone at home, so I phoned her work phone...
