Bowel cancer carers, family and friends chat

Try not too think too far forward with all the how’s and why’s as they will all be sorted eventually- I am nearing the end of sorting out financial and practical stuff then it’s just all the clothes etc but that can be done months down the line. Not touching the shed which is full of tools or that garage full of car stuff, that might just stay there til I’m gone!! Best thing is not to rush into anything and accept help. 
Just concentrate on Jay for now and try and enjoy your time together and say the things you need to say. I am thinking of you

Love Helen x

Forty years we've been together. Thirty seven of those married next week- a week today. Just really hoping he can hold on to see that as it'll be a bittersweet one- our last one

Let’s hope so - Father’s Day on Sunday too

Thank you everyone. It is what everyone dreads in this situation.  He puts a brave face on but now he is finding it hard to do anything and can only walk a bit before sitting down. Not sure if it is the chemo. Already been on the loo twice.

My heart goes out to Patty and everyone else. 

the parasol blew over and completely ripped so he can’t sit outside at the moment. It landed on my head but I was okay. Daughter Lucy coming round this morning to clean filter etc when Les tells her what she needs to do. It absolutely stinks. 

back on later love Maggie xx

Just wanted to say that was the same hospital where we said “goodbye “ to my dad .

The team honestly took such wonderful care of him . His dignity was kept throughout and they played soft music for him . They were also really good to us . There are various vending machines you can get a cup of tea from through the night too .

He was never in pain and they made sure all the meds were on hand . 
Send Jay our love and hope today you get to spend some quality time together .

Good Luck for today Maggie.

Hope everything goes in your favour.
