Christmas for some is a very sad time, memories of the past always seem to re appear. For me my memories are of my children who all died before there time, 1 month, 23 years and 24 years. And its so sad as this was time of year they loved the best. But I would not change a thing, they gave me a new out look on life, taught me how to be a better and stronger person and to give not just take. They believed in christmas and all that it stands for in both the religious and Father christmas way. Many happy...

looking back at the year, it all happened so fast! from going to my GP for a routine bp check and asking to look at a dodgey mole, going to biopsy, biopsy result, surgery and 9 months later full recovery. ok, i got a big war wound...
The last 6 months have been a whirlwind and in a way I am still in June so when I wake up to presents on Saturday morning it will be quite a shock!!
I am really looking forward to Christmas and spending some quality time with family and friends.
I never thought I would be one of those people who would have to deal with cancer in my life as it was never going to happen to me. But it arrived and although it is not easy with fantastic support from husband, who is just the best, my parents and my friends...
Well my counselor is over tonight within minutes, so this will be a quick blog. I have been really feeling the pull these last two weeks. Everyone getting merry and talking of spending times with their mums and then bang, my heart drops as I realise I will never get that again. Why is it all the talking in the world helps at the time and then you hit these god awlful milestones -such as christmas.
I am looking forward to it do not get me wrong, but in a different way to anyone else that has not...
Had my EUA on Monday and spoke to the consultant before we left. Good news is that it looks like although there is still residual cancer in the cervix it is confined to there only and can be removed. On removal I will loose some of my bowel and will have to have a temporary stoma but they are hoping to reverse this some months down the line when the swelling and radiotherapy damage has gone down.
They think that they can save my bladder and although I will be in hospital for 3 weeks and it will be...
