Awake and up all night

It’s really horrible getting a diagnosis, and the waiting is the worst part, but when you get your treatment plan, it does become easier. 
They are a great bunch of people on here. x

Hello all. Prompted by the recent amusing posts about precision bombing by our feathered friends, I'll just add this one. Not so amusing because it means I've got to leave my armchair, get a bucket of water and go outside. Oh, the effort!!  My son visited a few minutes ago. He said that something large had targeted my car, leaving a 9 inch splatter that needed to be cleaned off before it dissolved the paintwork. Yesterday during a brief sunny spell I saw a big split second shadow that made me look up from the Mac screen. It was followed almost immediately by a noise which I thought had hit the little 'roof' over the bay window. I did not get up to investigate because I'd have to unhitch my bag from the stand and actually walk two paces to gaze out of the window. I think my son's comment and yesterday's shadow must be linked. Something the size of a vulture with a tummy upset had obviously let go. Now, xxxx it, where's the bucket? I'll be back later. xxx  

You will have to excuse me guys I am having trouble logging in I get emails that I respond to but I need to set this up properly am new to this hopefully I will get it sorted out 

We have a lovely lime tree outside our house but you can't park under it as the car gets splattered! If you do get splattered, best to get it off straightaway as it for sure strips the paintwork!! xxx

Thank you I appreciate it. Its abit more than just the diagnosis, ive known for a few months now. Its stage four and honestly I can see that shes tired. It feels really rough right now and I bet it feels even worse for her.

Hello and another welcome from me.

I am currently at a local fundraising gig at a pub but don't want you to feel ignored.

I am sure you feel overwhelmed and sad and helpless and possibly angry too. 

Tell us a bit more about yourself. Does gran live alone? Do you have brothers and sisters or other family members that can be involved in supporting her?

You very probably feel you need to be strong for her which is understandable but you also need support for yourself. Do you have anyone you can lean on?

You can come here and let out all your feelings and fears and ask lots of questions.

Have you been involved in gran's appointments? Do you feel you know enough about what is happening and how her cancer is being managed?

Take care

Hiya! How did the de-pooping go?

Ooh this gig I am at isn't punk ... so there are lyrics you can hear and instruments played harmoniously and being loud and passionate and having a point to shout about isn't enough to call yourself entertainers ahem.

How is the rest of your bank holiday going?

Cheers

Helloooo   kor! Does your tree actually have lime fruits?

Cheers

No, sadly not. It just looks like a sycamore type thing. It produces loads of little flowers in the spring/summer that attract aphids as they're sweet. Car then gets covered in aphid  that goes mouldy if you don't wash it off. Pigeons sit in it during the summer, not so much in the winter. In autumn, leaves fall and need sweeping up. I love nature but its a big job innit!

Hi again. Glad you are feeling good today. 

Clearly your previous biopsy was traumatic. Have you had any help processing this?

Would it help to think that the questions that need answering are your questions rather than the Urologists? That you are the focus rather than being subjected to a procedure?

Are you able to say what it is about the biopsy process that you feel is unnecessary or that you are unable to face?

Take care
