great update corny. so to hear from you, lots more good vibes your way.
DH going for the bank robber look atm even in the house am going to resist buying him any more hats or scarves for Christmas

bankrobber look!

How are you all holding up? The stress of cancer and Xmas must be awful for most
The stay in cottage wasn't as relaxing as I hoped, mainly due to my parents and floods, but we are home,mw arm and chilling with DVD whole dh sleeps.
Thinking of you all x

floods - oh no! Hope it wasn't too stressful for you.

dh struggling a bit more with this cycle again, although he said he feels more like himself today. He says he feels guilty cos he's not helping out enough, although I've spent most of today lying on the couch eating turkish delight and mning whilst he's been to the shops...<bad wife emoticon>

good on ya corny
eeek at floods. hope you had a good break, lisa (the views were awesome I believe )
we had a one-night Christmas holiday treat. Which turned into a 'mare because dh and I both felt rubbish (for different reasons, obv) and dd was sick [eww] ahh well. Just proves the motto of this year, again.... Do Not Plan Anything particularly anything nice because it will go tits up I also need to figure out where to find approx two stone (other than on the DH's backside) and steal it to keep my trousers up. Even my skinny jeans are falling down

Ladies, I'm not sure how many of you know but Macmillian do a one off fund payment to cover extras needed during cancer treatments ect. Things like to help with extra heating costs, newer clothes due to weight loss and even a short break. Might be of use to most of you

Hello, hope everyone is holding up ok. Cancer mixed with Christmas is a very strange thing.

Lol at the bank robber impersonators Sorry everyone's attemps at breaks were hit by floods and illness.. DH had his appointment today, with yet another new consultant, who asked us to tell her all about it from the start yet again and then said she had none of the notes so couldn't decide anything and booked a new appointment for the 2nd of january

Hope everyone has managed to cope with it all and get ready for tomorrow. Chaos reigns here, but then that is the new normal! I panic bought some really strange presents at the last minute so there may be some very confused faces tomorrow

Thanks for that info Lisa I am another one who needs new jeans, or at least more holes in my belt to keep them up

Just popping in to say belatd happy Christmas to mrsshrek and others. I have chemo no 11 tomorrow and oh my word I am dreading it as had an extra day off due to xmas timing.
Sorry to hear of your troubles mrsshrek but I hope you have had peaceful time. Much love

chemo 11 best of luck.

wishing us all a better 2013

Roll on 2013.

December has been a fucking shite month, Mr Daisy has been in hospital for all but 5 days of it. Mostly for an infection which wouldn't go, and then for tremendous chest pain which turned out to be caused by a swollen liver which was caused by the infection and shockingly damaging antibiotics used to get rid of it.

My jeans are also working their way south; and they're ones I couldn't get over my thighs in the summer. Glad I'm not the only one!

Chemo no 11! Good luck. How many more to go?

poor mr daisy. hoping the badass AB's have got rid of all the infection. How's he doing now? see ya later with cream cakes and chocolate

poor Mr Daisy, hope you all get some respite from this all very soon.

just wondering if its worth starting a new thread? I know most of us have found this thread and happy to talk on it, but would hate for somoene else supporting a partner though cancer to miss a helpful thread.
