This is my third round of radiotherapy, having had several weeks' worth on my pelvis in the past and a week on my neck last autumn. I was a bit surprised when my oncologist said he wanted to blast my abdomen again. I thought you couldn't have radiotherapy more than once on the same area. So before my first session I did raise this query with the radiographer. She assured me that the doctor knew what he was doing! Yes, of course he does, but the first lot was given in a different hospital,...
Well having re-read what I've written so far I am truly glad to say this bit of this journey is so very nearly over. We have 10 days until round 6 - last chemo, the two antibody's on the end make our real end date November but it's the chemo I will so glad to see the back of. Some form of normality must be returning to our lives as I got really mad with M today and left at home on his own to sleep. My usual patience levels are returning (not much to be honest) and I can't wait for Saturday...
What always makes me more confused (and sometimes angry!) is people's opinions, whether it be from a professional or a random person four doors down from your house. Everyone has an opinion on my husband's cancer!
Some opinions are very welcomed, others take with a pinch of salt and smile, and then there are some who should really mind their own business!
My husband has been on/off cancer treatment for his brain tumour/cancer for over 7 years now and I still think we sometimes struggle...
This weekend was amazing, this is why its so hard to accept todays news.....
One of our dear friends brought us a meal, with candles, tablecloth etc to the hospital, for us to celebrate our pending anniversary. It created a memory I will have for the rest of my life and the smile it created on Paul's face will live with me forever.
I love you darling with all my heart. Don't leave me, not yet, we are not ready. :'(
Today came the news I have been dreading. I think I knew it was imminent, but never expected to hear the words. My darling man of 3 years has a matter of weeks to live. I cannot begin to describe how I feel. ANGRY..... at him for leaving me, at cancer for stealing him from me, at myself for not being able to do more to keep him. I would rather he leave me for another woman, at least there is a chance I could win him back, if only it was about that.
This gorgeous man has made me the happiest I have...
Last week. [ I apologize ] If I offended anyone I looked at some porn on the advice of a friend. I have not looked since but my weeing has Improved. I'm getting up less during the night and can now go out during the day without fear of wetting myself for at least three hour's. I don't know If It was the porn that helped."after all nothing happened physically" maybe It was the hope I generated within my mind that porn would help. In other word's I had a belief that It would [ I think so I am ] I still...
