I made a cup of coffee and stood next to the dining table looking at the pile of letters. There had to be twenty of them, neatly stacked but with a slight twist towards the top of the pile; the start of a spiral staircase that went nowhere. Soft morning light angled in across the table, highlighting the fan of crisp white envelopes. I sipped my coffee and stared at the table. I felt warm. I was wearing my own clothes for the first time in a month.

Its been 7 years since my son was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He had just turned 15. At the brink of manhood , a teenager- and we all know what this is like !! and diagnosed with a cancer he felt he couldnt share with. Luckily a few weeks before he told us a TV programme about TC was on and he saw it and checked himself, he told us he felt a lump within a few days- I felt at the time someone was looking out for us.

Yesterday was six months since Mum died. It's a wierd thing though. Sometimes it feels like it all happened so long ago, but then in the very next moment, I feel as though I am in the room with you, stroking your forehead and hearing your last breaths all over again just as though it only happened yesterday.

Hi Everyone, I'm sending an update on Wazza's Blog for him. Last Wednesday Wazza had his first CT scan since starting chemotherapy. He's had four cycles of chemo, Cisplatin & Gemcitabine. His CT report has been very disappointing. There has been further tumour increase in the pelvis area. There are more lymph nodes involved. He has multiple low attenuation lesions present throughout the liver, multiple metastases. The largest of these measures 4.2 x 6.3 x 7.5cm. The liver metastases has developed within five months & that's with chemo. We see his oncologist on Monday?
