Dealing with the symtpoms and demise that advanced cancer creates is really hard. Losing the person you love before they pass, is actually sometimes harder than losing them in the dying sense. I spend every day with my dad, but just don't feel like its enough, he is going through so much. The health and aged care system in regional areas is a labyrinth and that's makes it more challenging. And it is a lonely experience for me, it must be 20 times worse for dad. I haven't found much support locally or even regionally. And I have never blogged before, so trying any avenue possible"!

This is my first ever blog entry...... I've just finished my 3rd cycle of chemo after recently being diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. I was on holiday in the UK in Aug/Sept this year when I was admitted to hospital with suspected appendicitis, when performing a laparoscopic appendectomy they were unable to locate the appendix but instead found a mass surrounding my appendix.

This blog entry was written when I started to make my recovery from treatment. It was more of a reflection rather then what was actually happening. http://www.thecancerstory.com/2012/01/part-24-confessions-of-mad-man-1.html
