I took my girl upto school today a normal morning for me i looked across the road and i swear i saw my dad. i nearly shouted for him then a car drove past and he was away. I am missing him so much i really want him to hug me and tell everything is going to be ok. You dont relise how much you miss something, you take for granted the stupid wee things like the hugs the laughs and the wee stares it breaks my heart to think my dad will never make me feel safe again. sorry for being a pest again but i...

hi
Its been a while since I blog,
unfortunatley my mom was rushed into hosptial 10 days ago her remaining kidney wasn't working properly, at one point she had no renal function at all. Its been such a worrying time at one point I really thought she wouldn't pull through.
She just went down ill so quickly we where even asked if we wanted her Resuscitate her, god that was such a shock, we couldn't answear because my brother was away and I didn't think it was far for us to make that d...
Felt a bit down today over my inability to eat ' normally ' - apart from my recent success in managing some bread with soup, I am still finding it quite difficult to move the food with my tongue. I realise that this may be largely due to the extensive surgery and radiation, but after almost three years I was hoping to be way further along. Maybe I am expecting too much - or do I have to come to terms with the fact that I may never eat ' normal ' food again and be grateful that at least I am...

Last words are hugely important I think. Its nice to know that he was thinking about me in his last few hours, however hard that is to comprehend.
Keeping it short because I have to focus on my revision for my last exam on Tuesday!
I increased David's steriods upto 6mg, he stayed awake the whole day and we had a wonderful time.
I borrowed my disabled sisters wheelchair so David didn't have to walk, though he still found it tiring watching the children running around.
My other sister and her husband came with us, and she drove which was great as I didn't have to concentrate on driving and wasn't so tired and could relax and enjoy the day.
I managed to get David on 3 rides, the Viking rapids where we get drenched...
i haven't been on site for a few days but when i signed on a few minutes ago I seem to have joined the melanina group and the testicular cancer groups. I have no reason or memory of joining these groups and was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else.
Anyway best wishes to you all
Take care

What a way to celebrate the beginning of Summer! After a long 7 day wait, received my scan results yesterday and its all good. The drugs are continuing to do their job and there has been no further progression. The one lymph node infected in my neck has not reduced or grown and there are no signs of cancer anywhere else. The two hour wait at the hospital was worth the wait!!!!!
Now all I have to do is continue to take the capcitabine for two weeks out of three, herceptin every three weeks, enjoy...

So pleased for my wife Leanne and my boys Joe and Jack that they can see me improving (am actually moaning a bit to them, its hilarious as they dont take any notice of me) !!!!!!
