Today started off well took Mo down the town to Jempsons for a cup of tea & a sausage roll its the first time Mos been out since she came home over a week ago.Had a lovely day
she was a bit tired after so we came home so Mo could rest.About 6.30pm Mo had a mini seizure,shaky legs,arms and torso,slight rocking from left to right lasted approx 15-20
mins it passed but she neglected to tell me!!The next thing I know Mos shouting at me from the bedroom to call 999 as another seizure happened...
Been a crap day today had to tell my mum & dad the "bad news" driving up from Morrisons and the bank,tears arrived whilst I was driving. Don't know why but the tears & emotions wash over you at the weirdest times,usually triggered by a thought from the "past" or worse from the "future",a song or just about anything.Tried to pull myself together before my mum opened the front door,didn't happen the "tears & emotions"washed over us yet again!...
Returned to Hurstwood Park today & got the results of brain biopsy,it wasn't good news at all. Mo has got a Grade iv astrocytic glioma (glioblastoma) a malignant aggressive cancerous brain tumour. Its inoperable and terminal,I hate that word!!

This has felt like 6 weeks of hell .My mum is just her normal self , i spoke to her on the phone last night while i was waiting for my daughter to attend st john ambulance, and she said her legs didn't want to work this morning for ages but for me not to worry as she is ok , pretty pissed off as i would have gone straight over.

My lovely mum popped over last night with dinners for last night and tonight plus a choc cake....... she says I can then still work if I want but not be too tired trying to cook when I get in too! :)
So, a 'normal' day then. Drop Deri at breakfast club, get to work, switch on computer and kettle. Thankful got all the 'hellos' and 'how are yous' and 'are you oks' out of the way yesterday! ;)
No meetings booked or planned so I can take it easy, but I was Tired...
At last I have finished all my treatments! I have been through a tough year and am relieved it is at present all over....I have been a brave soldier and not really said much to anyone so have ended up with depression which is now being treated.
I wish I had tried to speak to the people that offered to help and let the people who wanted to visit even though I thought I looked awful because of the chemo etc....it was just to say to people just starting out on the treatment path don't be too proud...
