Hello

I like that one, very good name, I didn’t know anyone called Cyril and thought it was an appropriate kind of name, my eldest daughter Meg  very quickly added ‘the Arsehole’ bit. When I started writing my blog on facebook and then the book I published about him in March I couldn’t not keep his full name so to speak. He is an enormous pain in the arse and will be the thing that kills me off, but in an odd way I can’t imagine life without him in it now.

He has made me a far better person than I was before, I understand more now, get less stressed than I used to and sort of roll with the punches so to speak much better than I ever did before he came into mine and my families lives. Its an odd way to write I know about the thing that is and will kill me, but we all go at some point, I guess in a way I’m lucky as I know roughly when, I’m in no rush to pop my clogs, but its one of those certain things in life we all know is coming one day.

Hi Daloni 

Our stories are so similar except my husband is a snowboarder and we have teenage cats.

I am not sure if there is another woman involved but from the things he has said recently I suspect there has been at some point if not now. One thing for sure is I have been so much happier since he left. Lockdown was horrendous and while I was constantly treading on eggshells and trying to keep him positive he seemed to go out of his way to make me feel like crap.

I am hopefully moving into my own place in a couple of weeks, with the cats of course, and feel like I have things to look forward too. 

I am glad you are back on your feet and feeling happy. Our futures may be uncertain but all we can do is make the most of the time we have and not let others bring us down

Take care and thanks for replying to my post

Hi Tvman

Thank you for your response and for asking about my treatment.

The hospital where I was diagnosed only offered me 6 cycles of palliative chemotherapy because in their words "there would be no point giving me further treatment because stage 4 cancer is not curable"  I knew that was complete twoddle and as soon as I finished chemotherapy I asked to be transferred to a specialist cancer hospital where I  was lucky enough to be accepted on to a clinical trial just before the lockdown. It's still early days but at least I know I have other treatment options if the trial drugs dont work. 

How are you getting on? You mentioned you have been on this site for quite a while so I hope that means things are going well for you.
