I would like to stop this year here and now. I don't want a new year. We did not think this year could get worse but it did so we don't need a New one.
Christmas was very quiet I managed to get Bert up at 3 in time to go to our daughters for Christmas dinner where he managed a couple of hours and did manage to eat not too bad. He looked exhausted and we were home and he was back in bed by 7 and asleep right away. He slept for all of Boxing day and was awake for a while yesterday. I don...
I dont know where to start, but I need to do something to occupy my mind at the moment and after reading so many simuliar stories on this site this is probably the best place for me to start writing. My husband has NSCLC, since Sept he has had to endure months of intestive chemotherapy and radiotheraphy. Its been a long haul, but we have managed to get through it together by being hopeful and optimistic. Following what we have been told to do by the consultant and lung specialist nursesfor the best...
My gorgeous Sam died on the 10th December. He had just started another round of daily radiotherapy for 5 days and I think he couldn't face it. On the evening of his first treatment within half an hour of me ordering, as instructed, the last christmas present for his daughter he became confused and seemed to be suffering from the effects of too much medication even though it had not changed.

I was told my op was first on the list at 8.30am. I was all up and ready, signed the papers ,spoke to the Registrar etc. Suddenly the surgeon appears and tells me that he cannot proceed as a CT done on 15th December shows spread to my spine.
I am lost for words as an earlier bone scan showed me to be clear. Why should it take until 10 minutes before the opp to break the news.?? The whole thing stinks.
They have given me some whitewash about shrinking it with chemo. I am now wondering if I can...
I feel everything is building up in me and I am going to explode. I have gone from being a person who I thought was quite a chilled and relaxed person. Did not use to lose temper with people, but oh how I have changed, what is happening to me. Bob was taken back into hospital on the 12th Dec, in excruciating pain, and is still there. So not a great Christmas. Christmas eve so strange him not being here, I did not stop crying. Sat and stared at christmas tree most of the night , thinking why oh why...
