Firstly I just wanted to say thank you for all the other bloggers sharing their stories that help me realise I'm not alone in this thing. We only found out on 1 June that my darling Mum has inoperable stomach cancer. She started chemo on Monday this week, and we were all so excited that she would be going home today to try and get back to 'normal' in comfort and quiet. The only problem was that she had a terrible day in terms of nausea and then breakthrough pain - and of course she couldn't eat anything, which she so desperately needs after wasting away so much.

Hi this is my first blog, but somehow I don't feel so new at this. My Mum has advanced cancer she was told roughly 18 months ago of her cancer. It started in the uterus and spread to her lungs. It has now spread to her brain. My Mum was a very young 70 something. She did not drink or smoke and was physically very active. She even rode a push bike up until a couple of years ago.

Hello everyone....first time blogging in my life. I have read quite a few of your bloggs and am overwhelmed by your stories and the encouraging comments from everyone. I wish I had the positive and eloquent replies that so many of you have. I am at the beginning of my cancer journey. I had a gallbladder attack April 17th, 2012 and went to the emergency room. I was told thatI would have surgery the next day and also that my gallbladder "didn't look very good"....it was the surgeon's way of preparing us for the news.

It's funny how you remember so much about your past when you have been diagnosed. You remember the good, the bad, and the ugly. The memories although bad, they are good to have, because it makes you who you are. Cancer can be rough, but for me it has been a blessing, and having it has shaped me into the person I am today. http://www.thecancerstory.com/2011/09/part-11-why-do-they-call-you-slash.html
