Awake and up all night

Hi again Rose. That's good you've got a roofer, and I hope he fixes the leak without charging the earth!

Oh, tell me about family fall-outs - my older sister hasn't spoken to my even older brother for years, money squabbles in their case. It's good your sister's on board to help you my lovely.

You've done well to give up smoking, so don't beat yourself up about that, but I'm sure all the added stress won't have done any good either. You'll probably be in a better place once you've had the scan and results, and fingers crossed the eventual decision on your mum's health care is in her favour.

Take good care and do drop in any time lovely xxx

We got out for lunch; I had baked mozzarella with tomato & pesto dip then spinach & ricotta cannelloni, Alan & I shared a bottle of red.  I've had a little nanny nap this afternoon

Great stuff Helen  funnily enough, I was just wondering if you'd gone out as it's been raining on and off here.

Well the chow sounds great and I'm glad you enjoyed it lovey. Nana nap on the cards for me as my eyes are like lead xxx

My brother is stage 4 metastatic liver and bowel. I live in nz he lives in London. He says having me there will be too much to bear emotionally I'm having a hard time not wanting to go thete

Good morning Tanyalee, and a very warm welcome, although I'm sorry to hear about the reason you've joined our group.

Being on the other side of the world from your brother, at this awful time, will be really tough for you but please bear in mind his wishes. If I understood correctly, you want to come over to see him, but he'd rather you didn't? He's right inasmuch there's very little you can do other than give him support. Do you Skype at all? I gather that's almost as good as being in the same room, so that's a great way to be with him virtually without actually having to travel. 

Have a think about things and maybe then get in touch with him. I realise the time difference, and hopefully your brother will be fast asleep at our end right now. You take good care of yourself sweetheart, and try not to worry as I'm certain his doctors are doing everything they can to help him. Sending you hugs xxx

First time using this no idea what I’m doing on this site. I find it really difficult to navigate. But awake most of the night. Worrying about my leukeimia which is on the move and active. 

Hi Tanyalee

I'm sorry to hear about your brother, it's difficult when there are so many miles between you. Keep talking to him, that will help to support him. And of course,  you can keep chatting on here if it helps.

Hi Lopez

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Using this forum will get easier although I've found it could be better. 

There is often someone around here if you want to offload, you can chat about anything as we discuss all sorts. 

I hope you got some more sleep.

Morning all 

We're partying today as it's Thora's 4th birthday party this afternoon (her birthday tomorrow) . This time last year I was having chemo, that year has gone quickly.

Morning Helen  and many happy returns to Thora! Enjoy her birthday party - always lovely to be amongst the kiddies when they're having fun.

This time last year OH was having RT, and I agree it's flown by.

Have a great time this afternoon xxx
