Calm?

i have been searching for answers for the last few weeks. I am not sure where all this is going but life is bonkers. Currently sat in a London hotel drinking wine whilst my husband faces a night without me. Not even sure what I want from this site - probably just somewhere to ‘chat’. I don’t want to give details but I have taken heart and spirit from the posts on this site. There is a complete whirlwind of emotion as you watch the person you wait a lifetime to meet, and when you meet them eventually time seems to standstill’ as they face this personal dilemma. I know some will criticise me for being vague but what the hell - life with cancer is vague. I face the prospect of losing my husband of 4 years. Two years ago I lost my dad to cancer - had a good life, lived the way he wanted. I can accept that. My brother committed sucicide before he died - dealing with that. The person who was and has been a constant for me during these times is the one that’s is now lying in a room, medicated and facing uncertainty. All I know is that it is bonkers. Is this what they by ‘calm before the storm’?

  • Oh bless ya ... welcome to the crazy club ... life throws us dodge balls, just when wer not looking ... l sometimes think cancer just waits for the ones who think life is going o.k ... yea we have hurdles and we climb then one by one ... and then just when you feel you've had your share and "what else could be thrown at you" wham, cancer deals it's ace card ... 

    When l was at my lowest, thinking my son could have had this, as I'd delt with everything that life threw at me, and I'd come through and still coped my cousin was taken by lung cancer ... my sister now in late stages dementure , my cancer, then my untie got breast cancer too  ... when it was my son, l just crumbled it was the one thing l was vulnerable, he'd been diabetic from 14 and never once moaned .. I'd nearly lost him a couple of times ... l was near just near giving in to it all ... then someone who'd never posted on here befor or after, replied to my breakdown...

    All that person said was ... the devil whispered in my ear " your not brave enough to weather this storm" 

    I whispered in the devils ear   "I AM THE STORM" 

    So it snapped me back into reality ... yes I'd get back in the ring and get my boxing gloves back on .. no I won't brake ... so now you be the storm ... do what you need to do ... well all hold on together here .. for that one goal that binds us ... kicking cancers butt ... win or loose ... well kick it all the way down this journey we find our selfs on ... we won't give up trying ... sending you a vertual hug ...
