It has taken me a while to get back online as I have not been feeling great. Had a central line put in on the same day as my first chemo (3rd Dec) - made the mistake of saying I should be alright without the sedative. If anyone else has this option - take the sedative!

However, very achey and couldn't get comfortable or sleep over the next...

It ssems that no matter how healthy we live our lives it keeps coming back and attacking another member of our family. Is this a joke??
Hello everyone, I hope you all had a restful Christmas.
Christmas day went nicely, the kids were amazing and kept me strong with their hyperactivity lol.

So today is Dec 27th 2010. Today we are scattering my Dads ashes at...
