Thinking of you Hun xxxx

Thinking of you Gay xxx

I'm so very sorry to hear about your mum Gay. It must be a terrible shock, especially with everything still being raw for you. The only comfort is that, like BC, bowel cancer is very treatable. One step at a time of course - let's hope her scans deliver good news. 

Now I'll just say what I say to everyone - look after yourself, as you'll be no use to your mum if you crash, 

Big hugs

Hi, although I frequently end up in this group, mostly because like lots of you I find myself awake on and off most nights, I am supporting my husband who was diagnosed with bowel cancer March 2016. Don't fret too much  yet about your Mum. 1 appointment at a time. 

Hi Gay, 

Sorry to hear about your mum. My mum has end stage COPD and she also kept some bad news about her condition from me due to my bc diagnosis. When she eventually told me we had a good cry together, loads of hugs and opened a bottle of her favourite sherry.

Hi Gay, so glad to hear your first day back went well; kids tomorrow, so more good luck being sent your way. I am so sorry to hear about your Mum. You know exactly how each other feels though, which has got to help. Get her onto the forum, as we all know that it is a great source of support, companionship and giggles when you need them most. Send her our love and let us know how she gets on. Thinking of you.

Hi,

I just have to say thank you very much for all the lovely comments. They did make me cry - in a good way, because I was so touched. From the info that I have read, it seems very treatable if caught in time. So it is the dreaded waiting game, and we all know what that feels like. I am just in a state of shock. 

It all seems very unfair, but as we all know since when was life ever fair? It happens to be my (late) sister's birthday today - she would have been 52. So I was ringing my mum as soon as I got back from work to make sure she was ok :(

So my intention tonight is to dig out a sleeping pill which I know I have, just try not to take them very often - so hopefully I can actually get to sleep. If not I think I will probably lie awake all night.

This looks like a sad bunny saying thanks...

Goodnight all,

Gay xxx

Hope everybody else had a good start to the week. LL did you make an appt? xx

Is anyone else still awake?.........

Morning Jo, I was actually awake at that point, so i could  of chatted but I wanted to see  if staying off my iPad helped......well I'll put it this way.....

. 

No not great, I think I saw every hour on the clock! But at least I tried. 

How are you  doing Jo?  

Hope everyone else had a better night!

Wishing you all a lovely Tuessay! Only 2 more days till my weekend which  might make a few of you jealous, until I say I wish I was working  till Friday....WHY? Because on Thursday I go to hospital to have my wisdom teeth removed under local :-( absolutely dreading it!
