This time last week I was spending a weekend watching my Mum be more ill than I had ever seen her and here I am a week later and if she wasnt in a hospital bed you would almost say "there is nothing wrong with her", she is sitting up and chatting, jumping in and out of the bed (quicker than I would!) and looking good. When I talk to her on the phone its like "old times" where I am in my house and she is in hers and we are just catching up! It makes it all the harder knowing that the Doctor...

Hi there,
As per my previous post, dad was diagnosed in the summer with mesothelioma, his health has gone downhill since then.

Well, I'm away this weekend but Sunday is the 1st anniversiary of Steve's death. I can't believe the year has passed and I still feel numb but no amount of crying and being beside myself is going to bring him back and as my friends on the MW site say he was genetically coded to die at this time.

Unfortunately within 4 days of chemo finishing he noted that his eating had started to deteriorate. A few more tests and another meeting with the surgeon concluded with the...
