My mum is still with us. She is fighting on, although is getting more pain as her organs shut down. She is sedated and is being given painkillers through a syringe. We take it in turns to keep a watch over mum and this morning, I woke up at 5.30am due to all the commotion in the house. She was in a lot of pain and we called out the nurses, who upped her meds. We thought she was going to leave us this morning, but she is still here with her. Even though she cannot respond, I am glad that she can still...
I have been to the hospital today for the results of the biopsy.
Not good it is cancer in the lymph node, but they cannot find a link to the cancer in my right lung(not quite sure if thats the way they worded it)
They have decided that the best form of treatment will be chemotherapy but are not to sure at present what type of chemotherapy it will be I have to go back next Friday and they will tell me.
I am to have the first chemotherapy treatment on the 23rd September

I feel numb mostly the last few days but i am still feeling angry with my cousin.
Last week she was dumped by her boyfriend of just over a year who she had just moved in with this summer. I appreciate that that must feel shit. However she had the nerve to compare her feelings with what i am going through!!!
To make it worse she then proceeded to OD and put herself in hospital, just because some stupid bloke who clearly didn't really love her ended the relationship!! And she said to me 'I just didn...
Well thats a year today my dad passed away. I have been all over the place today snapping at people then crying and laughing. it has been a tough one but i got through it. We got chinese lanterns and lit them for my dad it was so nice. when the light faded my girl said that my dad got the message. It felt good i know that sounds stupid but it has made me feel a bit better. i have a smile on my face tonight and the kids are happy which my dad would have loved.
Today has been a strange day. I have not cried much though I have got to the edge of it more times than I can count, the lump in the throat and the welling in the eyes but then it stopped, I don't know why.
I went to the supermarket and I thought that I could cope with buying my sister a birthday card, it is her birthday next week. so I went to the card isle and looked for sister cards. But the unexpected feelings came because sister cards are next to wife cards! It occured to me that I will...

Hip hip hooray! I had my last session of radiotherapy (28 days-worth) this lunch time, this evening I take the final Capecitibine, and then I sit back and wait for a while.
So glad to have reached this day. Although the radiotherapy continues to work for another fortnight which means the tiredness and soreness may not peak for seven days (so they tell me) it feels great to reach this milestone, I am tired and sore but not as bad as many people experience I suspect. I haven't even taken any paracetomol...
