Hi kermit, its good to hear how she is doing as i have been wondering how things were going. Its good to hear the nausea is gone, she will be so relieved. Its good that she is slowly  returning to work and life for you is going back to normal, she has not let this beat her and hopefully she has won the battle. Im hoping the tests are all good which im  sure they are going to be.  Merry Xmas and happy New Year to you both and, wishing you have peace and enjoyable happy xmas which you both deserve. Take care Barbara.

Hi Kermit,

I have been wondering how you’ve both been getting on and, I am so glad to hear more positive news from you. Your partner’s treatment will continue working for quite a while, so I am delighted to hear that her nausea has stopped so quickly.

She has gone back to work quite soon after all her treatment. A staged return to work seems a good idea. Please keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t push herself too far. I imagine that she will still be very tired at times and it is unwise for her to overdo things – The last thing that she needs at this stage is a setback.

I do hope that she continues to improve in health and that The PAP test and Pet-CT both go well in January.

In the meantime, I hope that the three of you have a Happy Christmas, followed by a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Kind regards,

Jolamine

Hi all,

Well another update. 3 month Pet-CT scan was completed last week & results received yesterday. Everything appears to be on the mend which is great news. She already has scheduled check-ups in April & July with the gynaecologist & specialist.

She is back at work full time now which will help us both to pay all the medical bills.

Unfortunately our relationship has been severely strained & is not improving. We're both just pushing through for now due to everything going on so will see what happens.

Thanks all for your support.

Kermit

Hi Kermit,

It is so good to hear some heartening news from you about the 3 month PT-CT scan. I hope that the check-ups in April and July will continue to show more positive results.

I am so sorry to hear that your relationship is not faring so well. It is early days yet. As a family, you have all been through some tremendous strain, both personally and, from the sounds of things, financially. My husband and I had problems to start with too. Most of it was my fault. I have always been a very independent person. When my cancer was diagnosed, my head was all over the place and, my hubby was doing his best to wrap me up in cotton wool. I took to that very badly and, although I knew that he had the best of intentions, I couldn’t stop myself from lashing out at him.

He was obviously scared that he would lose me, but we sat it out for about 1½ years and now that I’ve got a little more breathing space, we’re better than ever.

It can be worth seeking some counselling if things continue to be difficult. There are many charities which offer this free of charge and it can be quite enlightening to see the flaws that a stranger can detect in your relationship. This doesn’t work for everyone, but some people find it very helpful.

It is great to hear that your partner is now back at work and managing full-time. Don’t give up on things yet. You’ve been together for a number of years and I’m sure that things will gradually improve.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

 Hi Kermit, its good to get your update, its pleasing to hear  the check up went well and hoping,  her next 2  will come out  all good as well. Its good she is back to work to help out money wise, and sorry to hear its strained the relationship . This  can all to often happen to couples who have just been through something major and one was and is fighting for their life.It can change peoples thoughts and feelings and life so much, im pleased to see that at least for now you are both pushing through and i hope that you both will come through this still together as a couple.  Remember that feeling when you both first found out about the cancer and how you  so didnt want to loose her and  she didnt want to leave you , so im sure that things will work out for you both, you both need time to regain what you both lost in the fight .  Best of luck  Barbara

Hi Kermit,

I hope that the PAP test and the Pet-CT scan both go well tomorrow.

Thinking of you both.

Kind regards,

Jolamine

Hi Kermit,

Hi Kermit, its good to hear how well your partner is recovering , and  hoping her appointment on Friday  and, end of July go well.                                                                                                                                  Yes as you say, your son is carrying on as normal and exactly, its what you would expect of a young teenager , but im sure in the beginning he would of been scared and very worried about his mum.         

 Regular stuff getting in the way can be a good thing in meaning life is getting back to normallity before Cancer entered your lives. Reguards  to you both.                                                                                                                            Take care Barbara.
