My partner has kidney cancer. It’s not curable. It spread to his spine and he has had operation to remove tumours and lesions which weren’t malignant. He had radiotherapy on upper spine. I am finding it very difficult at moment. He went out on Monday for belated birthday meal. Yesterday he just wasn’t well and today he is no better. I am hoping he will feel better tomorrow. He has been complaining of a stitch in his side which seems to be more present now. He took some painkillers this morning but refuses to take anymore. I don’t understand why. Sorry for waffling on. I have so much to say but can’t .
Hi Sandra. Couldn’t remember if I replied to your message. Just getting used to using site. Some I tapped message but didn’t send! Thank you for reaching out . At hospital Monday with Damian. They said he could bring someone with him which had scared me. I know it’s not curable but we have to cling onTo some kind of hope. Love and hugs to you.
Jerry, great to hear you had a lovely day with friends (belated birthday).
Dreading hospital on monday I/we can all relate to. I do hope it has something positive in it for you both.
Wow..i love Cornwall too. I have family that live just outside newquay. So we have to go a couple of times a year to see them. An enourmously pleasing task....lol.
Keep posting on here. It's not quite the same as someone being face to face but jeeez.....it comes close for me. I think letting out some of your fears and upset does help one to reset, pull your pants up, straighten your hair, and face the world again. It never ceases to amaze me just how strong people can be. And it is so often people that claim to not be strong.
Cheers for now and good luck to you and husband for monday....Del.
