Oh the rollercoaster at the Cancer doesnt care theme park

Hi ya 

To anyone new to this fff disease I am sorry you and your loved ones are going through this and 

To those of you well versed in the roller coaster of treatments set backs triumphs and all the tears fears and frustration this 

Cancer ride brings to you I say thank you for all your support sharing and caring

Its been rubbish in the RB camp but hubby has had a new oesophageal stent fitted and although his cancer is spreading Mr RB is determined he aint done yet.

So Im awake thinking okay I thought you was a gonna and you are still here ....let me pause while I can and regroup .....

New list of whats needed...before they turf him out the hospital ....and managing his expectations ( i cant shove him around in a wheel chair for example ) .....more smilingly assertive.....or being beeping annoying....

Strength to everyone who follows and to all of you lovely Cancer Chatters who have sent special messages thank you thank you thank you your kindness and love have sustained me and Im sending it right back to you ....may you have ease today and find joy in small things .....they are as you are precious

RB.

    Hi Rhubarbdragon,

    I am sorry to hear of all that you are both going through and hope that things are a little easier for hubby now that he's had his new stent fitted. If you can't shove him around in a wheel chair, have you considered a mobility scooter. You can hire them by the hour or day in many shopping malls to try it out first. Both hubby and I use one and it's kept our independence for much longer than we would have done so otherwise.
