Went to my local Friday, to met a dear friend.
I never felt so alone, sat on my own at the end of the bar with a arms length gap around me in a very packed local, of all neighbours, parents of my children's friends and people I've known for years.
one guy who knows me well just tapped me on my back and said I'm very brave, before I could comment he walked away . That happened twice.
I went home after a couple of hours with my Friend but felt totally alone and really down. Which...
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I finished my chemo (4 x TC) on 16th February and my radiotherapy finished on 1st April. My hair is starting to grow (hooray) albeit it's not very much yet. However my eyebrows and eyelashes are continuing to drop out. My bottom lashes are gone altogether and the top ones are nearly gone. My eyebrows have also gone very sparse. Is this normal as I thought they would start to grow the same time as my hair

having been dignosed in march and having it confirmed two weeks later. I don't know how i feel about it, it still feels unreal to me. Having no family or freinds to help me, i only have my own thoughts about it. i feel like its not real and theres nothing wrong with me
I've recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer and will soon be starting a course of chemotherapy.
I've decided to start a blog so that I can share my experiences and thoughts as I embark on a program of chemotherapy to fight this invidious disease.
I had my colonoscopy on Wednesday. Ouch! But I think the bowel cleanser (Moviprep) was the worst part. 2 Litres of the stuff but boy did it do the trick. I felt hollow the next morning.
The colonscopy showed up not only the main tumour around my rectum but another potentially cancerous polyp further up.
I went to see my consultant yesterday to get the full picture and it was not good news. I have advanced rectal cancer (stage 4) and it has spread to the right side of my liver. Some good news in that...
And so it started, my introduction to cancer on Wednesday 13th April....unlucky for some and it was for me!!! However, I have tried to only look ahead and not sit and dwell on what has been dealt to me. The human body is such an amazing thing, how it develops, how it heals itself and how it deals with the stresses of life. However, sometimes, it just lets you down and there's not much you can do about it. I really don't think there is much I could've changed in my life that would have made much...
I've been fighting since 2013. Started off with rectal ca, lung met lobectomy this january, brain tumours in april, all since removed or in preparation to zap hopefully. just trying to get more time with my wife and two wonderful kids.
My parents separated when I was 10. We joined the statistic, we were a broken home.
But you know the great thing about that? You get two homes.
It wasn't all sunshine and roses straight away. When you're 10 years old you aren't going to just embrace the man that you believe stole your mum away from your happy home. It took time. The home had no foundations, we had to build those first.
It's been 19 years. He's been there through exams and flat tyres. He's been there when my world shattered...
