Well even my 3 yr old is getting in on the act.
Here we were sitting watching Jungle Junction and my perceptive little man turns with face covered in toast crumbs and says
"why you keep pressin your booby mummy is it being naughty"
Guess I must be doing that a lot and not even noticing, will have to make a concerted effort to keep my hands away from my boobys and put them to better use lol.
Wind is blowing up a storm here so hopefully washing will dry in no time, have a good day every...
The coughing and hacking and gagging is not so nice. The cold I have is slowly making its way about my body and I am waiting for it to make its way OUT! Tootle-oo...bye bye bugs.
Well, honey bought me my three skeins of yarn to finish off my g/f's baby blanket. The baby's room is blue and brown with a giraffe theme. Nice. Since I won't be attending the baby shower I'll have it finished and maled. It is nice to receive things in the mail. She and her hubby are the two nicest folks...
When I had my first discussion about Radiotherapy I was told that at my hospital there are two schools of thought on the impact of different time cycles. One Doc likes to use a shorter cycle whilst the other prefers a longer cycle. I had gone in thinking that a longer cycle could be gentler on the body but was unsure of whether in fact it just means that it takes longer to do the same amount of good and damage. When questioning the oncologist he told me that 2 large international studies had shown...
My girls are so different its unreal, they are 15 and 16 going on 40 and now know what is going on. They both sat on my bed last night for a girlie chat.They both said that they knew something was going on all week because it felt strange (obviously didnt do too good a job of keeping everything normal).
The 16 yr old pipes us that she thought I was gonna tell her I was pregnant again (i have a 3 yr old son) and said that she now wishes that I was pregnant instead of having a lump and as quick as...
Much better day today and he does not know anything about what happened yesterday although he remembers that I was there until very late.
The confusion is not nearly so bad today at least he knows who everyone is and where he is.
A CTscan has been arranged so check that there is no spread to his brain.

I had a totally fine blog written and went to post it only to realize that You all are five hours ahead of me and I think I was smack in the middle of the down time today. Hence, I lost my blog (there is no way to 'save' it that I am aware of). Boo hoo. Suffice to say that I even wrote one...there is the catharsis/therapy.
I am slowly getting over my cold. It is still a wee bit in my chest...never fully got hold in there. I think catching it on the day of chemo helped. The chemo won't let...
We went to the pain management clinic yesterday, it seems that the tumour is blocking the lymph nodes in dads groin so his leg is swollen to double the size of his other leg. They are changing his medication he is being taken off the slow release and breakthrough morphine tablets and put on other kinds, I am not so convinced about this. His appetite has gone he is starting to show signs that me and mum knew would be a sign of him getting worse, things seem to be tough to take just now. I suppose...
Just read a report on our local news to say that Cancer Care Cymru, our local based charity, have now run out of cash. The Specialist Nurses that have been appointed to patients in our Cancer Hospital at Velindre, Nr Cardiff and Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Llantrisant, for the last few years, finally finished today.
Peter and I are so sorry to hear this and will miss our allocated Specialist Nurse Jane Humphries. We'd like to thank her for all her support since his diagnosis a year ago. We don...
