{{{hugs}}} for you brave ladies...

....well done on telling the DCs Triplets.....must be SO hard....and all the questions that follow...

thinking of you all x

onlyjoking9329 · 31/03/2008 08:36

triplets you are very welcome on this thread, dont ever feel that you should not be here.if you want to Start a new thread wouldn't be a bad thing as you may get more info and experience on Harrys type of cancer, if you are like me I need to know stuff thou google is very scary I would look on cancerbackup and Macmillan site.
it is a rollercoaster ride, but I promise you won't be alone for any of the ride unless you want to be.
much love oj.

LilRedWG · 31/03/2008 08:53

OJ, I am glad that you and the children managed to have a normal day and that Steve was feeling so much better yesterday - I hope this continues today.

Triplets - you are also in my thoughts.

yorkiemom · 31/03/2008 09:13

Oj was very good to hear that Steve had a good day yesterday, hope this continues.

Mb I am so sorry to hear that your dh is'nt doing to well at the moment, I hope thing improve soon, and he picks up again.

Triplets, I was very sorry to read about your dh. We discovered my dad has pancreatic cancer in Jan, and your children sound very brave, I am 34 and just sat sobbing in the hospital room, and for about a week after.
I think initially its just such a shock.
I hope things go well for your dh.

You and all your families are in my thoughts and prayers xxx

mummylin2495 · 31/03/2008 12:27

to triplets ,i havent spoken to you before but just wanted to say that my aunt had cancer in her bowel 11 yrs ago,And yes she is still with us !!! She had chemo and had to have a colostomy,but she copes magnificently with that and no-one would ever know.So i hope this will give you a much needed boost.oj as usual i am sending you my utmost admiration for the way you continue to battle on in your awful situation and continue to preserve your good humour.I hope steve will soon be home and you will be able to spend some happy time together as a family x

QueenMeabhOfConnaught · 31/03/2008 15:09

OJ, glad yesterday was a good day and hoping it continues.

Triplets - telling the children must be so difficult, you are all in my thoughts at this hugely difficult time.

MB - tremendous, as ever.

What a group of women you are!!!!

Tickle · 31/03/2008 16:27

Lovely to hear you and the family had a good day OJ

So, how do you make bubble bath? Sounds messy

onlyjoking9329 · 31/03/2008 20:03

Went to see steve today, he says he feels like his brain has been wiped, his memory is not very good at the moment.
Steves mum came not long after i got there and was very frosty with me, i had to leave as it was very uncomfortable Steve didn't appear to notice the situation.
tomorrow is decision day, we have to get the funding agreed so steve can come home where he belongs & where he wants to be.

robinpud · 31/03/2008 20:39

OJ- everyone of us everywhere will have everything crossed for you tomorrow.

TotalChaos · 31/03/2008 20:41

best wishes for the meeting tomorrow.

sorry to hear about Harry, Triplets, hope the treatment goes well.

Immaculateconception · 31/03/2008 20:41

Keeping everything crossed for you and your family for tomorrow, I wish you all the very best and you get the funding. at your MIL. She makes me so mad!

3NAB · 31/03/2008 20:44

How much do you need for Steve to come home?

I am certain MN can sort this for you.

Sorry about the MIL situation.

3NAB · 31/03/2008 21:21

I mean MumsNetters.

Izabella · 31/03/2008 21:25

Oj, will be thinking & praying for you tomorrow. Please Please God, let there be a decision!!! Let Steve come home.

Sorry about all the stupidity that you have to put up with from your MIL. You should not be the one who is made to leave. Wish I could be there for you & fight your corner. I know what its like when sometimes you just don't have the strength to go there.

Love to you, Steve & the children. xxx

Triplets, so sorry to hear that your dh has secondaries as well. I hope his body responds really well to the treatment. xxx

nannyL · 31/03/2008 21:45

all the best and think of you tomorrow
XXX

onlyjoking9329 · 31/03/2008 21:46

money is not really the issue we do have savings, but the consultant says if we self fund then they will never pick up the bill and it will be costly.
i am hoping that the OT will do a review before steve is discharged as she is still saying no to the hospital bed

3NAB · 31/03/2008 21:48

Flipping heck!!

What time will you know tmw?

Have to take Ds2 for a big boys haircut but will be thinking of you.

onlyjoking9329 · 31/03/2008 21:50

i don't know what time the comissioners meeting is, but the consultant says that if funding is agreed then the carers will be sorted within days

lilibet · 31/03/2008 21:56

Good luck for tomorrow Oj - I don't post much but do think about you and yours so much.

Triplets, so sorry about your news, I was singing your praises on a TTC thread this weekend, I really hope that Harry responds well to the treatment.

TimeForMe · 31/03/2008 22:09

Good luck for tomorrow OJ. I have everything crossed that you get the funding. Thinking of you xxx

Madlentileater · 31/03/2008 22:27

OJ , all good wishes for tomorrow, another virtual candle lit for you all.

onlyjoking9329 · 01/04/2008 00:21

Thanks for all your good wishes, i am hoping to get some sleep anytime soon, the kids are back at school tomorrow and i need to go into see the consultant when she does her round tomorrow morning.
i will let you know if they agree funding, if i don't let you know by 5pm then it will be cos i am busy sorting out a petition and hiring hit men

swedishmum · 01/04/2008 00:25

I'm another that rarely posts but watches your threads hoping for some common sense from your inlaws and funding committees... really hope all goes well tomorrow.

MsRosaIsBitter · 01/04/2008 00:36

You will be in my thoughts tomorrow OJ - as you and your family so often are.

Tickle · 01/04/2008 05:43

Thinking of you today OJ. Sending 'agreement' vibes to the committee...

Hope first day back at school goes well for the DCs.
