Holiday was moved from last year to this year and now I'm here im having a shit time.

Dp is ill, sudden gall bladder trouble and in pain and indigestion all the time. 3 strong lots of antibiotics and he's no better, tired all the time, lost weight as he can't keep much down.

I'm upset because I hate seeing him from going from a fit and active man to one who is sleeping a lot. The kids dds 9 and 11 know there's something wrong but they don't know what. Theres talk of ultrasounds and ct scans..I'm convinced he has cancer.

We shouldn't have come but dp wanted to. I'm going to the very limited shows with the kids but most of it is prebooked the whole atmosphere just isn't the same..just not the same.

I could cry (no judging) just going to drink a large glass of wine instead

You sound like a remarkable, brave and loving family and I can only echo what others have said about making sure you take all the support available- I will be hoping and praying that whatever news you get next is at the very least practical and helpful.

So sorry to read your update, and that there is a 6 week delay for chemo. I was just saying to dh yesterday when Boris was doing the press conference that I really feel for those who are having such massive delays in medical treatment. It's shit.
