Its not death that scares us, we are born to die, death is inevitable, death is a new begining like life is the path to the end. We are used to live with death on our side and therefor we respect the life even more.
The fear starts when love wraps our life in layers of despair for we dont die and vanish in abiss, we live behind an empty space, a stench of suffering and lost for what we love and live for. Alone, unloved and dying without bringing suffering to no one or dying sorounded by loved ones...
It was only two and a half months ago that I turned 39. My birthday "bash" was great. Cancer was pretty much put to one side, and we all partied like it was 1999, haha. Photos of john and his brothers and me and my ex-workmates. Everyone looked so cheerful and we all really enjoyd each others' company.
Fast forward a month an a half and John is having trouble. So bad he needs a syringe driver and can't remember where the toilet is or how to use a fork. He improved after the steroids...
Well the weekend was good until Monday morning!! Good things never seem to last that long, I guess the trick is continuing to look as in the life of Brian -- always look on the good side of Life!!

I hadn't realised quite how low I felt at the time of the last post. Things have, however, taken a consderably better turn: the full report on the repeat scan result after two cycles of chemotherapy shows "improvement in all areas" - all of the affected lymph nodes in my chest and throat have shrunk measurably. While I know it's not going to be a permanent fix, at least it means the planned palliative treatment seems to be working...
Went to the hospital today for my results and have been told that it is not cancer. It's a benign lump and is called Fibroadenoma and is linked to hormone levels. I can't begin to express the relief i felt when the consultant told me. Hugs to those who need them and big thanks to those of you who have supported me and offered help and hugs.

Hi Michael
My father-in-law discovered his cancer which started in his bowel has now spread to his lungs and stomach.
Apparently the tumour in his lung is large and he started a course of chemo tablets this morning and has to take these for the next two weeks. He was told by the specialist that there is no cure. Can you...
