I havn't posted on here in ages. Since I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (oral cancer) in Oct '08, once I got through the horrendous surgeries I just wanted to get back to 'normal' as quickly as possible and put the cancer behind me. It's been six months since my last check-up, and I have to see the specialist again on March 10. The nerves are already starting to hit me.

One year ago yesterday, I was living a normal life. One year ago today, my life changed forever. We discovered that Cancer had invaded my husband's body and in doing so, invaded the lives of our children and me. One year of uncertainty, of appointments, of worrying, of tests and scans, chemo and radiation,. One year of feeling out of control. I hate it. I have had enough. I can't help but wonder what I will be feeling one year from now.

Hi again everyone, Aaah, the day before Chemo and Radium - are we all the same in feeling like "Yay - today is a pretty good day as I'm over most of the awful side effects, but geez, it all starts again tomorrow, so should I even bother feeling happy at all?!!" ? I know that's how I usually fell on Tuesdays, as Wednesdays are my treatment days. This week in isolation and getting a platelet transfusion as well. Just awesome. But - A BIG thankyou to any of you who have ever donated blood/plasma/platelets - it might just be yours I get tomorrow!

Hi everyone Thankyou for your support for my blog on the 14th Feb. I just finished writing a reply and update and then it just disappered......damn computers....or maybe it is just the person using it.....:>) I have been off line for awhile as i have been really busy with my parents and still am so will try and write again another day. So hard to find time these days ...I have seen some of your blogs and send my best wishes to all those having tests or struggling right now. My thoughts are with you all even though I am not able to personally reply at this moment.
