hi guys

Well what can I say it seems like i am living with a different man lately. He has been getting some steroids via IV and his mood swings are awful. I am trying to have a conversation with him and all i get back is shouting and swearing.
He has also been coming off the Tramadol recently and i am unsure if that is what is causing everything. I am not sayign i am perfect but I am most definately not willing to be spoken to like a idiot.
Please tell me if i am being sensitive or stupid but how do other...
Had good day yesterday not so good today as had tired day.Pain getting better I think though.Wish appetite would improve as dont want to lose any more weight.Great weather today and keep popping outside then resting! My adorable wife and sons doing my jobs for me.
My dad was told on Monday that he has a cancerous polyp in his bowel (if I am honest i expected this from events that happended after various proceedures he had been through) but at the same time we were told he has secondary liver cancer. We were all stunned. In this meeting I didnt really take in anything other than the Dr said the liver cancer was terminal. Since Monday I feel like I am in a living nightmare. My dad is a very private man and doesnt want to talk about it. I cant get my head round...

Finished CT,MRI. and Pet Scans. I've been referred to the Beatson at Gartnavel from Hairmyres.My new Consultant's name is Michael Duff and when I inquired as t why this was taking place I was told it was bacause he has more experience in these more Complex surgery procrdures. I can tell you I wasn't overboard with excitement when I heard that.Still just another slight hiccup I'll need to deal with.
That was the bad news, the good news is I'm going to marry Deirdre, my partner
...On Tuesday I was due to have my fourth cycle of chemotherapy. Unfortunately my blood count was too low again and it has been postponed (White Blood Count, Neutrophils and Platelets all low this time).
I was going to be delayed one week, but asked if I could put it off two weeks. It is P's birthday party on the 16th April and I really didn't want to be at the lowest part of the cycle for that. Also, she has her ballet school show coming up. Again, a delay of two weeks suits much better as...
