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

Hello all,
Just a short post as just got back. I'm very hungover today, as I got well and truly smashed yesterday. I did well, I achieved my objective!!! Now I need a nap, as we have friends coming to stay tonight. Hubby did a lot of talking about tidying, and thats all it looks like it has been. So, as they are his fiends, he can sort it out, as I need some beauty sleep if I am going to be my wonderfully entertaining self!!!!
So, no doubt, by 8pm I will have a drink in my hand - crikey its a hard life at times. Cheers to you all. Cause you are all superb. We have all met through sad circumstances, yet the love, support, strength and courage shown here is truly inspiring. So well done us!!!
Love and hugs a very sleepy Bern xx (PS: Sam, your one found the bottle by the way!!)
I am feeling shitty yestrday was the day Dad crashed his car trying to put a bet on !!!!!! It's so surreal.
I am worried to the point of sickness as Brooke is in the isle of wight till Monday night aaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Hubs is taking me into town in a few hours, shopping takes the mind off things and the more you spend the better it feels ha ha ha, the rest of the girls are attending a party with the M-I-L so no doubt they will all be ill later after eating too much choclate.
I am in a very strange place right now and glad to be so busy to be honest. Had my nails done yesterday and off to blackpool next weekend so having hair done friday and got loads to sort out to make sure the kids and house don't fall apart.
I really have moved into a weird place almost like when your on anti d's when you struggle to feel emotions it's as if I have switched off to everything at the moment even you guys and I am sorry for this but I think I hit a point where I could'nt cpe anymore so the only way to handle it is to go into auto drive if you know what I mean.
All ok-ish this end, although all the worry about the house has meant it's a little difficult to keep all the emotions in.
Becky came home with the registration forms for secondary school last night. If we don't get this house we will be catchment area for a school that Rebecca does not want to go to, so we really need to be in that house by the end of September. The venor was suppose to let me know her decision yesterday morning, but the Estate Agents have now said that she needs til Monday.
This plus leak, plus holiday to organise, plus residential trip to argue about, plus not enough hours in the day.........Blah Blah Blah, God don't I go on !!!!
Anyway apart from that, you are all fabulous and I love you.
Just posted to a lady on the old Oesophagus thread, husband offered op, then discovered secondaries so no op. Same story, again and again. So sad.
When you read the post you can actually feel the panic and pain. The sheer horror of the word cancer. We spent a long time being scared, didn't we.
I'm not scared anymore, and that's good. I'm grieving, and it's awful but I don't have to worry about my lovely Mum suffering. I wonder how many people started the same journey this week? How many people are sitting there googling 'Oesophageal Carcinoma'
I know we talk about the acid reflux, but if we could go back, would it have made a difference? would we have just known about it sooner and had a little longer to worry and fret. I wish we knew what happened to David.
had a few too many roses tonight, as been at a friend's boy's 18th, but under orders from Sam, i'm posting!! Thanks em - also thinking of you too. i'm a horrible, snappy, loopy person at the moment. today was the date that last year i heard that dad was bleeding again and i knew this was the beginning of the end. sad and played his funeral songs on on my mobile today - good choices, despite them still making me cry
mel - no word from david? did you get very far with the work on collating everyone's history with this type of cancer?
Yes I have everything ready, but I feel that if I started the campaign now I would be of little use, as I would reply to every question with a wail and a sob.
I'm hoping that after my hols, and when the kids return to school, I will be able to knuckle down with much help from you all.
How the hell are you all? Wont post a long message just yet as want to go and read and makesure i dont jump in with both feet as i quite offten do and say the wrong thing.
