Friends Reunited ............... ? I don't know if it's just me but since this new site launch nothing has been the same, I have experienced difficulties with making replies to blogs and so forth - however, that problem has come to light and is hopefully being addressed ( Internet Explorer 9 ) So whilst I can gain access using my hubby's laptop - different browser - I shall try and make the most of it.
As so many of you have already pointed out, the lack of a more visual friend's activities...

So Mum had agreed to do a drug trial, NET is rare so getting enough people for the trial was expected to take years. Mum joined a couple of years into the trail after numerous tests to make sure she was suitable, not too far gone and with adequate liver function. She seemed to really enjoy it, she loved the team looking after her, she had regular check ups, tests, scans and filled in lots of surveys. She ended up in the baseline group having the standard chemo treatement for NET. She was lucky, she...
Mum's journey began before she even new it. She had problems with her digestive system in 2004, her GP diagnosed IBS and treated her for it for the next 2 years. No tests were done. Mum kept going back to the doctors and they kept treating her for IBS as her problems got worse.
After a disastrous holiday in Portugal where she was very ill on the flights both ways and for the most of the holiday (she assumed she had food poisening or a tummy bug) she went back to the doctors in Sept 2006, She...
Oh yes. It was the end of the first week hearing bad news for my little brother (term used loosely as he is 6' 3".
Dougy got home and broke his heart crying but then pulled himself together and started taking over the evening visiting so that my Mumsy could get a little rest and I could look after her. It seemed like forever waiting for the results of the biopsy and in the 5 days waiting Dougy had to endure BB who seemed to be at the hospital continually. After three days of this he came...
Catering must be in the air - picked up a free Delonghi expresso/cappuchino coffee machine today from the fab Freecucle :)
I've been veering between wanting to be treated as normal with no fussing to feeling slightly miffed at some absent folk ... now, there are not many of them I must say, just one or two, but it's all about lessons for us all, and some paths are not going to travel along together all the time, eh? :)
Along the way, over lots of years now, I've been blessed with some damn...

Hubby went back to work today on Day 5 after his first chemo., and I am running around like a headless chicken trying to keep busy and not worry about him. I am worried the chemo bag might get caught in something, worried he might be with someone with germs, worried he might get overtired etc etc, all of which I cannot show because I know he has got stir crazy these last few awful days, since discovery of the recurrence of the cancer and the portacath being put in and the chemo started.
I am concerned...
