Burying me mum today. Cant believe how quick this has all happened. I've held it together so much for the most part but I've already burst into tears in the shower thinking about what I need to say to people all day about her. Fuck this horrible disease right in the bastard. 

 

Carrying her in to her favourite song. I've had it on twice already to try and make sure I don't cry when we carry her in. 

 

 

Todays gonna hit hard I can tell.

I've just come across this thread for the 1st time. Some tough stuff to read on here, although I've not read it all.    I was diagnosed with terminal/stage 4 bowel cancer around a year ago a

I finished my chemo a few weeks back and have had scans since and went to see my oncologist yesterday. He's telling me he now believes I'm in remission and there's currently no sign of the disease. I'

The Oncologist just called. PSA down to zero. Apart from a blood test every six months that's it.   You're all gonna have to put up with me for a bit longer yet!   Anyway, thoughts

did you get the missus home? 

Not yet mate she had another drain removed today and had a scan on her bladder, no results yet but they seem to think it may still have a small leak. She could be out tomorrow minus the catheter but I have heard it before. Thanks for asking mate.

I wasn’t sure about asking. No news doesn’t always mean good news. What a slog for you both

She came home early evening yesterday, struggling to eat or drink. Just glad to have her back.

That's good news about her coming home.

Hopefully now she's in her own space things will improve for her and maybe take a bit of pressure off you.

spoil her rotten!.

A mate has lost his daughter on Thursday to cancer, she was 38. He's a big red,he's nicknamed grobbelaar because in the 80s he looked like Bruce. Very sad.

 

On a brighter note my mate did a fundraiser for meningitis reserarch in memory of his sister. This was a charity close to her. Ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 36 hours ( including during the night) raised £1500 quid and finished this morning.

My aunty recently got the all clear, I was worried she wouldn't get her op due to Covid as hers was discovered around February, but they've got it all and she's doing well. Her daughter had it a few years back when she was only 35 and she's better now too. 

 

There's a lot of tragedy out there, it's heartbreaking, but it's good that so many people do recover now. I personally know at least a dozen or so people of all ages, ranging from early 20s to late 60s, who've had it and only one has sadly lost the battle after a few years, the rest all fully recovered. 

 

I think outcomes have improved a lot in recent decades. I remember in the 80s nobody we knew who got cancer seemed to get better, I used to hate the word 'Clatterbridge' because people seemed to go there and not come back.

Just checked it was 48 hours not 36, that's a fair challenge to pick
