Oh Curiosity, its unbelievable, what does Momma and Mars say, they are so knowledgable, poor poor you. xx

This is how I am feeling
Gutted and scared and in shock, yet cannot scream or cry.
We went to see the oncologist today for Harrys routine 6 monthly ct scan result. I was 100% sure it was all going to be ok, I wasnt even nervous, which is very strange for me. The scan has shown that the cancer has retd to his liver, and also there is a new growth in his left lung, we are devastated. We now have to wait a week until next Thurs when the liver team from Kings come down to discuss his options, we are praying they will say they will remove the new growth with surgery, but the oncologist thinks it may not be possible. We may be talking now chemo only. I am soooooo scared, since last July we have been able to lead a normal life, lulled into a safe net that it had gone. We have booked 3 weeks to Florida in May, that is now not possible, its very likely he will be on chemo by then. I have to pay the balances for the flights/villa by the 1st Feb, as we could not get insurance cover for the cancer, it means we will lose our deposits, £1000. The kids dont know yet, we wont tell them until we know what is going to happen,plan wise and also its their b/day on the 27th, I can`t do it to them. This time last year he was in Kings having 60% of his liver removed, spent his b/day in there, came home and was too weak to do anything with them for their b/day. I am so gutted, so scared and so very angry. He has been the bravest person I know, never once has he complained, never said why me. Bloody bloody disease.

Goodmorning, 3 hours sleep, going to be a long day. Lots of thinking to do.Thank you for your messages, back later ,must get the kids off. xx

shabbapinkfrog · 22/01/2010 08:40

I sat on the sofa miles away in thought and woke up still sat on the sofa about 5.30am - freezing cold!! I agree Trips, its going to be a long day xx

triplets · 22/01/2010 09:05

Sorry Shabs my fault..............just had an email from the villa owner, he has offered us two weeks earlier in Feb but we cant because we just dont know what the hospital are going to come up with, we have to wait until next Thurs at least to know what the liver team can do. He could well be in for surgery if thats an option in the next few weeks, or back on chemo, we just dont know. He wont refund the deposit if we cancel, oh well.

shabbapinkfrog · 22/01/2010 09:31

Not your fault at all my owd mucker. Was up till the early hours arguing on Facebook Bolton council, in their wisdom, have decided that floral tributes and pictures placed at the roadside when somebody has been killed in a RTA will be removed after 30 days!

To be honest Bolton and the surrounding areas are a shit tip mucky disgrace. The people are, on the whole, wonderful but the area is very, very industrial and a bit grim.

I couldn't stay off the debate and then an old school friend of our Dans came on and joined in the argument. He was for the councils plans but ended one of his posts with 'my mum still carries a picture of Matt in her purse and that awful accident took away one of the cutest, most lovely little lads I have ever met.'

Hence me waking up on the sofa at stupid o'clock!

triplets - on a practical note - why dont you try and E-bay the holiday? that way you may recover your money - or put an ad in newsagents window or something?X

shabbapinkfrog · 22/01/2010 10:00

Good idea Tessie.

HarrogateMum · 22/01/2010 10:15

curiositykilledhaskittens · 22/01/2010 10:17

Oh Trips! I am just so, so sorry! I'll be praying and hoping so hard for you and your H. XXXXXXXX

Ebaying the holiday sounds a good idea.

Trips my love! Am praying for you all.

Curiosity....have replied to your email my lovely.

triplets · 22/01/2010 15:59

Hi, no go ebaying as we have only paid the deposits, which is a total of £950. If we paid the balnce on the flights/car it would be another £2,700 the villa would be £,800 and £900 for disney passes, might not get a good enough offer! Just have to not worry about it, more important things. xx

estar · 22/01/2010 16:00

Oh trips how awful and what lousy timing. Am praying and hoping for you that there is a way forward. Good idea about ebaying the holiday. Hope you manage to have a good birthday for the DTs despite it all

Oh crap. Must the day for bad news.

DH has just rung to tell me they've found an unexplained lump in the back of Daniel's brain and they're taking him to Manchester tonight.

Crap crap crap.

Mum and Dad have come up and I'll go down as soon as I can, so don't know when I'll next be able to update you.

Crap.
