Little update of what happened, even though i still dont know details.
Lots of concern in me as first big batch of cancer n chemo i coped fine with, this second lot has taken my year away.
In Dec they wanted to give me 5fu for the secondary sore breast that turned up after bowel shrunk. So couldnt get my stoma reversal or away from chemo but didnt want the full breast cancer loose hair chemo i wanted to go back on the 5fu that helped kicked the original tumour stuff. So 8wks of chemo got organised...
Yesterday was the day we found out if Dad could have chemo. I'll be honest...I had not seen Dad for a couple of days as I have a really bad cold so been trying to stay away (the hardest thing EVER as seen him every single day since NYE) and it sort of felt like all of this wasn't happening. Of course I've spoken to him on the phone about 3 or 4 times a day and text him but it didn't feel like yesterday was happening really. But when I DID sit & think about it I thought the worst (as you...
Hi,
I've decided my OCD can't cope with the lack of control on this blog, so we are moving house. :)

Well here I am. Still here. Still putting one foot in front of the other. One Day at a Time, and all that entails. Next week it will be 8 months since my lovely husband died.

And that is true. That searing...
My husband has advanced sarcoma cancer. He is managing to work still, but is obviously finding that more and more difficult, but it is to his credit that he still carries on as though things were normal.
Last week he started new chemo No. 5, as the previous four had not helped stop the growth or spread of the tumour in his abdomen.
My difficulty is this: whenever he has symptoms which could be attributed to the cancer, he goes into denial, and through his own diagnoses decides it is something entirely...
Bad night last night. We went round to see Mum & Dad...Dad looks so ill.
I find it sooo hard...it feels like only yesterday he was his normal self, quite
a lot of energy, laughing & joking. Now he just seems so poorly...huddled up
on the sofa with a blanket...quiet...worried...scared. My poor Dad :( My heart
breaks everytime I look at him & I know it is going to get worse...
So last night we took round my Dad's fortisip drinks that I had picked up for
him. I was stood in the lounge...
