  • Hi your post caught my eye, I don't understand the treatment you are having so can't offer any advice..but I couldn't just scroll past without you knowing someone is thinking about you. My dad is very poorly he has prostate cancer,  I have never had cancer so I can't understand how you are feeling.  But watching someone I love so much going through this awful disease is heart wrenching to say the least.  So in this dark cloud, I'm sending you a warm hug ... You will find the strength to deal with this xx

  • Hi was thinking about you today, I hope you have had a good day

  • Hi Helen just returned from seven lovely days in Yorkshire today.  I'm going to miss waking up to the sight and sound of the sea.  Still it was blissful whilst it lasted.  I stayed away from all things electronic so we could all really relax.  I'm so happy  to read that your feeling good, apart from your poor feet.  I hope there not too painful.

    i had a good reality check returning home today, washing machine going like the clappers, trip to my local supermarket...the boys were starving and the cupboards were bare !! ...feed the fish,cat and dog !! Not forgetting the husband too.  It was nice to get away, I talked with my mum and dad everyday. They were so happy hearing about  our daily adventures.  Dad going to hospital tomorrow he's having a CT scan on his pelvis, funny day to have it I thought.  I think it's more of a precautionary scan just to check there is nothing untoward lurking.  He's still in quite a lot of pain following his surgery nine weeks ago, they are being very thorough.  I think given they told us they had removed all dads cancer and it hadn't spread it would be very unlikely there is cancer in his pelvis.  

    Have a lovely Sunday as this day is nearly over

  • Morning Kate yrs the feet r very sore and in hobbling like a old lady BUT I feel the tablets r working as lumps and bumps r going down, hope this works for very long time, I'm feeling good at moment as two weeks ago I started to go out without my hat scarf and people have been so kind even a random lady in a crowded place came over to me and said I look fantastic it was such a lift wonderful lady, like yourself it pleases me u take time out to message me and u don't know me it so kind of you, I'm glad you r busy with the kids and had a great time on Yorkshire back to reality now hey ?? Fingers crossed I'm going away with girlfriends early September then me and hubby have a few little trips lined up I just have to stay well, even with chemo tablets I still have low immune system. I will be having my next scan late September early October so here's hoping good news, and hopefully good news for your dad too. Thanks again for message me it's so kind of you wonderful lady !!!! Helen
  • Hi Helen

    how are you ,,, I'm hoping your going to tell me you managed to get your holiday with your girlfriends...I have been keeping everything crossed for you.  Things are still crazy in my mad house, Sam my eldest started a new college last week and loves it. (Thank god).  Paul my lovely hubby has been off work all week with a trapped nerve in his neck, though he feels much better today and will be back in work on Monday.  You don't know how difficult that was to refrain from writing "thank god" to that too.   I love him dearly but because he's not been able to move he's driven himself mad.   We had fantastic news about my dads last pelvic scan, he is cancer free.  We were aware that the prostate cancer had been removed after his radical prostectomy  but because they have been so many complications I was worried about him when they wanted to scan his pelvis.    I'm just watching Paul O Grady for the love of dogs.. I don't know who's worse me or Paul some of the dogs are so sweet.  It's a good job I don't live anywhere near Battersea Dogs Home,  I would have to rescue them all.  Don't know what my cat Daisy or my golden retriever Digby would say if I brought home a new dog.  Jacob would love it though.

    well I'm going to say goodnight, I m sending you positive thoughts and wishes for your next hospital visit at the end of the month.
