Hi All,

Thanks for all your kind words and messages, still a bit surreal.

Take care and love to you all

Dear Donna - just want to echo the other posters and express deep, deep sympathy to you and your family. So sad. I hope the peaceful way Lee passed will be a consolation but I guess for now there is no consolation. I'm so sorry xx

Sending love to all and thinking very much of those of you dear people on here going through hard days. Praying and hoping always you keep strong.Much love to you and yours  xxxxx

Donna, so very sorry to read about Lee and my prayers and thoughts go to you.

Debs, I have to say you are one amazingly brave woman, although suffering a tumour yourself you still give support to others in need.

SallyE, The good news that your mother is not showing any signs of regrowth is excellent and long may it stay like that.

Samantha, glad you found us, the support is amazing here.

I hope everyone I haven't mentioned are coping alright.

Love and Hugs to you all xxxxxx

Thank you to those who replied directly to me - you are all very kind and understanding.

I was referred to Postmark's train description and found it oddly comforting.  Since my Dad was diagnosed I have referred to life as a rollercoaster (and one that I definitely did not buy a ticket for!).

It is really weird how we thought that twice he was about to leave us, then he battled on some more, and the change in his physical recovery over the last 4-5 weeks is amazing - some days I almost forget how ill he really is.  Today I even took him out in a wheelchair to the local barbers to get his hair cut - and to try and even out the re-growing bits.  He just looked like a normal man in a wheelchair.

He starts a second course of chemo tomorrow so we will see how he fares with that - hopefully not too bad and it might buy him a bit more time.

Tonight, my kids are in a big school concert both playing instruments and singing - he always came to them so it will be hard to be there without him, but I am really hoping that for the next one (July 2010) he may be able to join us.

Anyways, have a good evening everyone and keep well!

Hello everyone

So much sadness on here today - my thoughts are with you all.

Not a regular contributer here, but read nearly every day - wanted to share something with you all...

We had Sams MRI today and the results almost straightaway. I am pleased to say that the original tumour site is 'stable'  and the 2nd tumour site on the opposite side of the brain has shrunk by half. So, we continue with the PCV for another 2 rounds and scan again in 3 mths.

Daring to feel happy for the first time in 3 months....

Maggie

Fantastic news Maggie, lovely to read it. - and great timing just now eh?
Very best wishes,
Miggins xx

Morning Everyone

Feel like I've not been around so much but life seems rather frantic at the moment, hopefully all will calm down soon as I am collecting P from the hospice today - well they're saying tomorrow but I've had enough and need him home now - big decision as I laid in bed thinking last night!

Maggie - great news - it is good to read something to pick us back up after such sad news recently.  It always seems difficult to continue with the postings after people's loss - so great timing all round?

Miggins - I am noting the times of your posts - I presume sleep is evading you at the moment?

Love to all xxxxxxxxx

Maggie what wonderful news after all the sadness recently it's always good to read that some good things have happened.

Mandy I hope you manage to get P home today.

Sending positive vibs to everyonexxxxxxx

Good morning all, bright cold weather here - it's on its way to the UK for the weekend I think. Nice dog walking then snoozing by the fire weather.

Robin, everything crossed for a good appointment today. xx

Hope everyone is as well as can be.
