This is the start of a new journey for me and my much loved friends from the original Oesophegus thread on general discussions.

We have become a close group and this will be our new home to continue our journey as life has become very hard for many of us and we keep re-living our journeys with lots of newbies which puts us all back a bit.

So my lovely friends Mel, Sam, Helen, Bern, Jac, Nic, Dawn, Sue, Cath, Lesley, Jani and the many other special friends Mel and I have made over the last 16 months this is it we have a new home.

Love to all and extra strength to carry us through our next stage XXX

    Mel, sorry to read of Dennis's passing. Sending you much love.

    Em, hope all goes well for you tomorrow, will be thinking of you.

    Sam.. hope this weekend wasnt too hard, your Dad made the sun shine for you this weekend giving you some strength and warmth to help you cope with some hard taks. Much love.

    Helen... Hope you are doing OK, and enoying some sun with your little man.

    Bern.. Hope the new job is going OK and looking forward to you become a regular poster again.

    Rochelle.. Thank-you for your kind words. I hope you are finding some strength in each day. I read on your memory thread to your mum that it's your son's birthday today. The first anniversary's are always so hard, but as Melly said your Mum was definately looking down on you and Jaden today and shining her big torch so you could see her clearly. Weve had such terrible weather for weeks and weeks and on the weekend when you most need sunshine it arrives in all it's glory.

    Jac... hoping things are OK, sending you much love and strength

    Wendy, hope your new little man is bringing you lots of love and some smiles. I have two little one's myself and know how hard the first year can be with a new baby let alone trying to cope with a bereavement. Sending you much love.

    Nic, sending you love if you are looking in xxx

    Sorry if i have missed anyone, but you are all in my thoughts.

    We are going on holiday on Saturday to Turkey for 2 weeks, keep your fingers crossed that Thomas Cook doesnt go bust either, as we have never needed a holiday so much before.

    Much love to all, Michelle xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Yoooooo Hooooooo,

    I is back on line. Yipppeeeee!!! Well, ladies, ladies, ladeez (and gents if there are any out there hiding?!!) it has been a rough week for many of you.

    Jac - you not been posting, so I hope that means you don't have time to come online cause you are with you family and also chilling. Honey, I think you deserve to go and get a massage or something. Do something for YOU too. You need it to keep your batteries re-charged. I have been sending lots of love your way. I hope you felt it and I have prayed that the darkness of your days has been brightened by much love.

    Sam - hope the weekend and today went well. Its a toughie clearing out and it seems to take an age. Cause you stumble across items which when you touch, smell just bring back so many memories. You need to go back there though and you need to cleanse the eyes. Thinking of you honey.

    Em - hope today has gone ok at the hospital? Big hugs for you

    Mel - sending you a big hug. You are a very special lady you know and you have always given so much of yourself. Sweetheart, its time for you to do some things for you. Be that 10 mins in the park just standing alone, or smelling flowers. Keep looking at the small beautiful things in life, the things we took for granted before. I owe you a mail by the way xx

    Barbie- ha ha funny lady!! Well, hope things your end are good? it was great to talk to you and I had a bit smile on my face afterwards. Yep, we arrange tea meet very soon.

    SAM Sam - Helloooooo. You are fantastic you know. Just thought I would tell you and remind you

    Michelle - hope today has been a better day for you?

    Nic - you been stolen?? Sending you big hugs

    Kelsey, not seen you around honey. Hope things are ok with your dad. Sending you lots of strength your way. Thinking of you

    Wendy - hey honey. Sending super duper big hugs to you and your special little man.

    Rochelle, Sandra(how many bloody names are you doing to have?!!), Dawn, Lesley, Cath, Den (has the little one arrived yet?), ooooooo who have i forgotten?? SUE - nah can't be you cause you never visit here...hee hee. Been thinking of you all. So, sorry if I have missed anyone

    Well, I'm gonna have to love you and leave you all. Will be back tomorrow and catch you all tomorrow. Keep feeling the love and stand proud. Love and hugs Bern xxx

    Morning All,

    Nic, on my dads birthday. I watched old films which I watched with him as a kid. It made me upset - but hey that was going to happen anyway. It also brought me a warm glow as it made me remember happier times, rather than just focus on the here and now and the empty space, which should be filled by my dads physical presence.
    Light a candle for your mum. When night time comes, it is the candle that will give you light and warmth. It represents your mums love Nic. Cause in the dark times it is her love that helps you find your way.
    Big hug for you.

    Love to you all. Catch ya later. Gotta do some work Bern xx

    Nic, Thinking of you today hun XXX

    Mel, Again I am sorry things are so tough for you and A right now XXX

    The rest of you that need (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) there you go!!!

    Right quick update!

    Saw the haematologist and I am having three iron infusions(one a week) starting thursday to get the haemaglobin up, the nodes are in too dangerous a place to take biopsy's therefore if any lumps appear that they can get a biopsy from they will???

    They are hoping the spleen will have reduced by the time I have the scan next week if not they will keep an eye on it! they are not keen to do a full body scan just yet but if the bloods or scans show need they will. He took tons of tests on the blood list but also said everything they had looked for on previous tests where negative!

    He will see me in 4 weeks after the scan and iron infusions to see how things are going.

    So as you can see still a little in limbo but hoping the iron will pick me up a little. Also has put me back on Omnprazole(spelling?) as the acid is unbearable he did mention that they may put the camera down if it continues YuK!!

    Thanks everyone for thinking of me it's so good to have real friends XXX

    Morning everyone, it's so lovely to see lots of posts again!

    Em - thanks for updating us, I was wondering how things had gone for you. I will keep my fingers crossed that the iron helps you hun and that you start to feel a lot better soon X

    Nic - it's good to see you around. Big (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))) for today. These days are so hard to get through, just remember we are all there with you in spirit X

    Melly - I hope your day is not too busy and that you can manage to get a little me time as well. Will talk tomorrow my friend X

    SAM Sam - it's lovely to see your post and I'm glad you had a good time on Sat night X

    Rochelle - I hope the sun shining yesterday, made it a little easier to get through. It sounds as though your lovely mum was looking down on you all X

    Michelle - how are things going with the counselling hun, you haven't mentioned it for a while X

    Bern - it's great to have you back again with your wonderful words of wisdom X

    Well my friends, I have started to really struggle the last few days and have been feeling really down and there is so much negative stuff going around my head it's unbelievable. I'm hoping it's all part of the grieving process and not that I'm suffering from depression. I had wondered whether to take a bit of time off from the site for a little while as seeing all the heartbreaking posts, is not helping at all. I'm not sure if this is the answer though as I still need to be amongst my friends here, those who understand how this feels. I wrote a huge post yesterday pouring my heart out but ended up cancelling it as it didn't seem to make any sense. Nothing new there!

    Love you all,

    Sam X
