I don't know how I am going to cope tonight. When I had my other cancer things seemed to happen very quickly but not this time. I was told on the 14 of November that I had a Liver lesion and I have still not been told what cancer it is. They have mucked about with PET scans and eventually took a biopsy 10 days ago and although I realise it is Christmas and New Year nobody has been intouch not even the Macmillan Nurses. I phoned today to ask if they had had any results, they have been told verbally...
So it has been a while since I posted, that is because my Wife was sent home from the hospital and with Christmas and work I have not had a spare minute. A lot to catch up on.
I am going to refer to my wife as Katie(her pets name). There is a reason for this, as I dont want people who read this to put two and two together, this is a personal thing for me to vent and sometimes hopefully inspire.

Hello all. I have only just got brave enough to write about this as much I have tried to block it out I was hit by a seizure today which made me decide it's time to talk. It started on oct 17 2012 when I suffered a grand mal seizure at the wheel of my car. The last thing I remember was my right arm forming a claw and feeling like it was being ripped off. I woke up about half an hour later surrounded by paramedics and family along with the truly lovely people who found me. By some miracle I didn...
