Well here i am again at 4.30 in the morning and i can't sleep yet again!! My husband Darryl has terminal small cell cancer and, at the moment is going through a really good phase. Which, i would have thought, would set my mind at rest and enable me to sleep. But no, here i am again having had 2 hrs sleep tonight wide awake with mad thoughts running around my head!! This is driving me crazy and i just seem to be on auto pilot all the time. Darryl is 44 years old and we have been given a prognosis of a 2-3 year life span for him. I can't seem to let go of this thought, and maybe part of me can't sleep because of that, as i feel if i'm asleep i'm wasteing precious time!! Darryl is sound asleep and resting well, and if i stay upstairs next to him listening to his breathing, i keep thinking is this the last time i'll ever hear that and end up getting so uptight and worried that i find it better to just get up again. So i wander round the house do a few chores, have a hot caffiene free drink and will myself to sleep all to no avail i might add!! hahaha surely i'm not the only carer who never sleeps, or am i????? any comments gratefully recieved. Take care my friends and hope your all sleeping well. love and hugs mel xxx

    hey my little chickies and big rooster! lol
    Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and words.
    You're all so very kind and my strength too.
    Well today daz has not been good at all his face is still swollen, he has veins come up all over his chest and neck and still very breathless.
    He started the Dex yesterday so hoping this helps and this all dissapates soon.
    Haven't heard about Radio starting yet but his onco did say he wants it started within the next 7 days so shouldn't be long hopefully.
    I just want it to get started now for Daz sake bless him. He surprises me evry day with his fighting spirit and strength. Not sure i would be that strong in his position. He's a real hero to me always and forever.
    I hope you are all doing well and having okish days?
    Thank you all again for all your support it really helps me just knowing you are all there for me. But don't forget i am here for you all too so if any of you ever need me just shout and i'll be there ok?
    Love you all loads
    Much love and big hugs your MHM xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
