We Talk Brain Tumours

Martyn its the first time in weeks I have checked in twice and now I know why.  Much love & strength to you and your daughters over the Christmas holidays and the New Year.  As Doreen starts her new journey, so do you, but in a very different way.  I hope you stay to inspire us when you are ready to resume your position in the cab, these 'agency drivers' are not up to your standard xx

Peace be the journey Doreen, whatever and wherever that journey may take you.

Seems we have had a whole carriage leave us in the last few months and a few new passengers join us.  Such sadness we bear on this train.  I've also had a couple of my BT friends on facebook start having seizures again after 3 years (they were all diagnosed around the same time as me) and one friend who had the same tumour as me (although not all removed) has been told it has turned into a GBM4 now.  It's all very scary, I still feel well, but who knows what my MRI will show........but I have Crimbo first and I am determined to have a fabulous time at my little sisters house - even though I am cooking the meat and taking it over, cos she is too scared lol

Love & Strength to all who want or need it xxx

Martyn, so very sorry to hear of Doreen's passing.  I was fully expecting here to battle on through Christmas.

You both fought this thing for so long (often far behind enemy lines with no support).  Rest assured that one on on earth could have cared for her as well as you did.

You continue to be a true hero in my eyes.

Dear Martyn

Everything I wanted to say has already been said but please know that I am adding my love, thoughts and wishes to everybody elses. I am glad that Doreen's passing was a peaceful one and that she was surrounded by those that loved her most. 

Like you have been, I am now caring for my loved one and i take inspiration from the way you have looked after Doreen. I have no doubt that she knew she was loved, it shone through every post you wrote on here. How lucky she was to have you by her side. 

Well done for being such an inspiration to the rest of us.

Martyn, I am so sorry to hear about Doreens passing, thinking of you and your family so much. You and Doreen have really inspired us regarding how you both have been and how Doreen fought it. To everyone else here, thinking of you all at this time. At the moment, hubs is still battling. Scan results we get January 9th so we have to be patient and wait. His word muddling continues on a low level and I don't think we have anything serious to worry about. Will let you know. Our PC is playing up at the moment hence I cannot do paragraphs!! So hence its all bunched up!! For those of you that are still battling be it as carer or battling yourself, lets continue to battle. To all those carers whos loved ones have moved to that other world, thinking of you all so much this time. Thinking of you all very much.

Hi Martyn

Deepest sympathy Sarsfield.x

Dear Martyn,

Even though I think we knew it was coming, it still filled me with shock and sadness to read that your beautiful, gentle Doreen had died.  She fought such a courageous battle against this cruel b**ger of a disease and you have been her rock for all this time.  Please, please, take care of yourself now.  Be prepared to accept any help you are offered and look after yourself.

We will all be thinking of you in the coming hours, days and weeks.

Much love,

Sue & Col xxxx

Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one.
