    A Special Merry Christmas To All Of My Friends

    I would like to wish all of my friends a very special Merry Christmas this past year has been difficult for most of us. I hope 2010 bring something special.

    I would particularly like to mention all of you who are alone for the first time as I am sure it must be really difficult for you. I know for sure some of you will have friends and family around but still feel so alone.

    Our thought are with you all today.

    With Much Love

    Bert & Teri

    Hi everyone

    I would just like to send my good wishes out to everyone on the site for the holiday period.

    Thank you to everyone on this site who has supported me through this most traumatic of years- without you guys, I dont know what I would have done- is there anywhere else where i can get advice on how...

    The 4th Herceptin... if I make it!

    It's Christmas Eve babe...  (Opening line to fairytale in New York) .... 

    I'm delighted to say I'm not in the drunk tank!  Yes it is Christmas eve morning at 6am.  I'm sitting in my nice warm living room, the tree lights are on, the house is quiet and I'm contemplating both the last week and the week ahead.

    Last week I took a road trip with my mother.  We went as far as Meigle in Perthshire by way of North Yorkshire with Glasgow and Preston on the way back.  We were incredibly lucky...

    ignorant people

    took my mother into town today, we met a few people that we knew, and who know Mum has cancer.  I am extremely angry  that not one of them asked her how she was, felt like we had some kind of contageous disease, has anybody else had this reaction?

    Bertiebassett Dec 23rd

    Today has been a very long day as I have been up since 4am Bert woke me up to get him up for the toilet and I could not get back to sleep.

    It has also been a very weepy day. The Palliative care nurse was back out and we had a good old weep with her. Then my colleagues from work arrived on the doorstep with a huge Christmas Hamper so there were  more tears.

    Bert has had a bad day but he has managed to get to sleep and I can relax for a little while. Hie has lost his appetite which is a shame as he...
