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...
Hi, wanted some advice if anyone can help me?? I have recently had a tumour removed from my bladder a few weeks ago and it was confirmed as cancer a few days ago - I am still reeling from the shock! I am just 33 yrs old and my consultant was not expecting this either, I have been suffering bladder infections and kidney infections for many years but have increased for the past year, a spell in hospital with pain/fever and blood loss led to me having this cystosocopy and retrograde plylogram which...

Good question...lots of things today. Decorating kids bedrooms at the mo so upstairs is a tip. Dan has gone to work this morning and we need to go shopping later too. None of us are dressed yet but nevermind. I have my CT scan on Monday which I am a bit nervous about. For one thing I need to get there early to drink that god awful Gastro stuff. Last time they sent me a bottle to drink at home. It gross...I downed each cup whilst holding my nose then gagging a few times before the taste went away....
