kalos se vrika - Nice to see you again.

harika - means you are pleased to have seen him again (not in the Biblical sense)

I love this description in the phrase book 'Greeks usually allow less of a distance between themselves and the other person when talking. Stepping back in a face-to-face conversation might only invite the other person to move forward and try to get closer to you in general. Greeks are much more physical than Northern Europeans

Just nosing in for triplets.......

shabster · 28/03/2008 20:32

Trips just rang me. Not great news but they now have a plan of action. Dont really feel it is my place to give all the details but I think she will be on later. They have a difficult year ahead and as Trips said 'its bad news but it could be worse' she sounded tired but quite calm. Come on trips you can do it xxxxx

for triplets, she really gets a crappy deal in life doesn't she?

piximon · 28/03/2008 20:38

My DH is half Greek. He's gone to see his mum tonight, she starts chemo on Monday.

Any news on Triplets yet?

Tigger when you're up to a visit I'd love to see you.

DS1 made me laugh tonight. I was talking about having the baby and comparing to DD1's annabel doll I said "when the baby come out it'll probably be about this size, can you believe it?" to which DS1 piped up "well yes mummy your tummy is very big!"

Hi everyone,
Sitting here shaking like a leaf in my little alcove! I had prepared myself for the worst today, the only way I can cope with things. Dh tumour is malignant and has spread to his liver. They seem hopeful that he has a good chance of survival. We already as Shabby knows have a plan, God I am shaking ...........he has to go into hospital on the 22nd April for the removal of the primary growth in the bowel, he will be in for a week. Then after 4 weeks recovery he starts 3 months of chemo, then depending on scans etc, they will take him to Kings in London where he will have further surgery to remove the 3 lesions on the liver. This is our glimmer of hope, they are all in a part of the liver that can be removed. After that it wil be 3 further months of chemo to make sure there is nothing left. So we have a long long road ahead and I am very scared. We have decided that the children need to know that Dad has cancer and will need an operation and other treatment. We do not want to burden them, but the last three months has been hell with all the appts and secret telephone calls, I can`t do it any longer and am so afraid that one of the kids at school will come out of it, word spreads quickly. My left shoulder is really aching tonight, my turn on Mon to see the consultant about that! Oh girls, I feel so sick and devastated and afraid for the kids and him............

Hi Momma, some friends have already said we should not actualy say its cancer to the children, but I just know I cant keep this pretence up any longer, I think they are entitled to know to a certain extent what is happening, we are obviously going to have to face some very dark days and I just dont want them hearing it from other people. Oh I don`t know, cannot think straight tonight, but I just want to protect them from the pain of it all.

Hiya trips I am home. I have no words that will make anything better. I am quite drunk and singing. Like we said earlier my darling - now we begin on the plan of action. You know what has lifted my heart trips? Me and thee have quite disliked our husbands - me more than thee. When push comes to shove we love them!! Everything will be OK - I know it will. I love you trips with all my heart and I wish I was 1. rich 2. could drive 3. could help. I am here for you forever. xxxxx

Dear Triplets, this is Horse. Do you remember me? I sent the computer to your friend a long time ago. I have just logged on to mumsnet for the first time in ages and have seen your post. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am sure that you are strong enough to cope; I can understand your devastation to an extent (I had a cancerous tumour in my leg and am in remission after radiotherapy). My daughter was much younger than your children when I was diagnosed so she was just told that I was unwell. Since this has happened both my brother and my father have passed away so at the tender age of 4/5 she has had to face up to such a reality. I do believe though that at the age of your triplets you should be as honest as possible and arm them with knowledge. The word cancer screams death but it is not the case. Get as much information as you can about your husband's condition and hopefully the positives will outweigh the negatives. I am now living in Canada; hence the late posting. A big hug from me. Love Horse

Morning ladies. Been awake since 6.30am!! Nothing to do with wine or kebabs Someone (and I do suspect it was Tigger) had a party in my living room last night. It is a tip!!

My mum and dad let Tom have an afternoon nap yesterday - he is 10 for GS not 10 months! He woke up about 6pm I bet he has only just gone back to sleep. Mum and Dad are 74 and 76 and when they bring him home today they will have faces like wrinkly bloodhounds and Mum will say her favourite line of all time 'eh love, dont have any more kids, eh this one is bloody hard work'

Morning trips - thinking about youxxxxx
