Hi Hopeful, I was very saddened by reading your post. I have no words that could possibly make this pain or sorrow better. Such a horrible thing to happen and exactly - What the F@#K do u do now?? I can only imagine the pain you are enduring and have endured - to watch the person u love fade away. I guess you grieve and let that be whatever it maybe: sadness, anger, rage, happiness, relief, guilt, fear and acceptance. I hope and pray you find some peace soon and may your son be your light at this dreadful time. Ruby “Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can.

A couple of people referred to their work. I had stopped full-time teaching at age 47 and often regretted it,but until cancer had done relief work . I worked one day early last year and would have returned after treatment if my facial appearance had not been changed. I returned to other parts of my life after initial withdrawl.I did not have whatever it takes to be a teacher of primary school children any more. At first it upset me deeply as I had enjoyed nearly every day of that 12 years very much. Now I'm over it and think about it less often. If I could look as I did before(normal)I would go back, but that is my past now .I just have fun,enjoying husband,children ,friends and I recently took up zumba. I am guessing that most of us are convinced we will die of cancer but this is not necessarily so.All we really know is that we, like everyone, will eventually die.It's just that having cancer makes you face the fact.In the meantime life is to be lived in the way we each think it should .This may be a little differently to the way we thouht before.We tend to place importance on other things now .At least that is what I think. ...

I dont think I am scared of dying ... I had a bad accident 8 years ago, I lost 7 hours of time somewhere, but was told I was talking ok - which is weird as I never say things properly so Ken said he knew something was wrong lol I felt like I was watching things from afar & had no pain - so I have never been worried about dying since. Had major pain from when I can remember from 7 hrs later. I worry about losing out on the things I want to see happen. Our son (19) getting a girl & marrying or finally moving out lol. I want to enjoy the house we have just moved into (Our design) but at least I know I will enjoy recovering after my opp here. E Try to enjoy each day, what it has to offer & dont stress about the things we can not change Stitch ... View more
