Hi Everyone, all too numerous to mention, but will get around to speaking to you soon. I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to come on here.
As with anyone who has lost someone so very dear to them, whether it be a child, partner, parent, sibbling or friend....time is essential in order for us to start getting a grip on life again. There is so much to sort out, whether it be bills, banks, employment, pensions, clothes.....the list is endless. My journey since Peter died in March is no different...
Hi - the last 2 weeks have been just horrible. My dad has always suffered from sinus problems all his life, just allergies and infections etc. But around last October a lump appeared on his cheek, which the doc said was prob a blocked sinus. Gave dad beconase. But the lump grew, and started affecting his nose shape and eye socket and he couldnt breathe up his nose. I was pestering him relentlessly as I always have, to go to the Doc and get it checked. He eventually got referred, had a CT scan and...
How sad is this?
Whilst away from chat for a short while the above person went it and was very abusive, will not repeat what i was told. Regardless as to how ill a person is it does not give them the right to use such fowl language. We are there to help people, if this person requires help we are all there for her, but dont tell folk they are all going to die etc.. i am being kind with my wording and do not wish to offend, but hearing what was said had to blog. If you only wish to use chat to be...

got results from mri today, told cancer hasnt spread and told more about my op on 25th. Feel good that it hasnt spread but bit scared of how close my op is.Cant remember half what specialist told me, had mixed emotions. Going to keep busy now and not think about it. No more hospital till next week so I am going to put a blank mind to my bladder and think about positive things.
The Leicester Royal has restricted visiting hours to try and control flu viruses. 2-3pm and 7-8pm. To get parked you have to arrive an hour early for the afternoon visit and then hang around waiting areas until the evening session. We live 40 minits from the hospital so it doesn't make sense to go home.
The old visiting times used to be 11am to 8pm and you were guaranteed to be there when the Onc visits or any other Healthcare professional stops by her bed.
Today, while I was waiting to visit...
I am new at this so bear with me, I had my operation for the removal of a tumor in the ureter some 14years ago however it has continued to come back in the bladder, these have happened some four times and been removed by laser. I was told by my surgeon that this is a very rare , ureter cancer that is, does anyone else out there have any experience of this look forward to hearing from you .jo
Well, no one can say that my mum isn't a fighter, she's still here, still very weak and not getting better but she's beaten the time that the consultant had said.
Mum is being stubborn and doesn't really like having the nurses around her which can be frustrating but i'm just going to let her get one with it. Mean while i'm up and down from the hospital and trying to keep myself busy, just finished doing the house work, i'm knackered now lol
will blog again soon

This is my first blog to chart my feelings and treatments for my lovely wife Julie.
I don't write for sympathy or through anger, and I don't solicit response.
I write to just speak out loud to anonymous people who may or not know what julie and I are going through.
There are some things I need to say that those closest to us would be unable to understand so I will use this Blog to share my thoughts.
My Biography tells the full story over the last 6 years.
