Hi All,
My lovely husband died on Wednesday. I miss him so much. I am finding it hard to cope. I was with him and I was so blessed to be there holding his hand. I held his hand for over two hours after he went. It was so hard to let go.
Had the common Symptoms of Lymphoma since the end of July... Fatigue, weight loss, night sweats and numerous lymph nodes in my neck raised and growing rapidly in size so that they are now very noticeable.
I went to the doctors when I first noticed them and he told me it was most certainly an infection and that they will decrease in size in about a week or so.
After two/three weeks (I cant remember exactly) I went back as they hadnt decreased in size at they had infact increased a lot.
He then...

All started about March time with dad not feeling well. Now got to the stage of finding out end of Aug that he has terminal Pancreatic cancer, 4weeks ago he decided not to have chemo as didnt want the extra side affects. So were told that the time he had left was around 3-6months or up to 10. Hes just had a week in hospital because they think hes had an internal bleed. Not knowing who, what or where I am at the mo. Sooooooo not looking 4ward to whats ahead :(
A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with T2 Squamous Cell Carcinoma, or Mouth Cancer as its more commonly known – specifically on the left side of my tongue.
The choice method of saving my life and removing the tumour is to perform a radical neck dissection to remove my lymph nodes in the left side of my neck. Along with this I will be having a partial glossectomy (The removal of about half my visible tongue) and have a stoma fitted so I can breathe whilst my throat etc heals.
Sufficed to say I...
It has been 3 weeks since I have had an operation - hysterectomy and appendix removal and biopsy of the omentum. This was following the removal of an ovarian cyst that was removed and tested - the reaults were borderline. I am waiting for the biopsy results to see if the cyst has affected my stomach or not . It is hell. I want the results now but I am also terrified of what they might say - I still do not think I have fully accepted what has already taken place. It seems like my brain cannot process...
