Geoff started his chemo last Wed, and touch wood, so far he is only tired. As he keeps saying, he is waiting for the storm to begin but maybe this time it has given him a miss. There was one medication that he couldn,t have on Wed, something to do with his heart meds, so whether that has made a difference this time, I suppose he,ll find out next time. None of us are complaining though!!!!!!!
I still find it weird to be talking chemo and cancer in regard to my brother and I feel mostly surreal, like it,s not really happening to him, I think I should be feeling really sad,and of course I,m devasted for him, but maybe if I see him really sick reality will hit really hard. Maybe reading all the other stories shows me that there are heaps of other people going through worse things.

Hi Paula, thanks for the reply. Geoff is coping pretty well with all the appt,s, even joking that he only has appts 4 days this week and might shop around for one on Friday just to make it a week of dr,s. It,s sort of weird for me, I feel a bit out of the loop but have decided to keep a note-pad next to the phone and I,m getting a diary so I can remember who he has to see, just for my own benefit. I,m not sure whether Geoff,s partner Steve will go with him to his first chemo but hopefully he,ll let his little sister come with him!!!!!
How,s things going with your Dad?? Good hopefully.
Thanks for the listening offer, it does make me feel better just writing down what,s going on,
Linda

So sorry to hear about your brother, Linda.Finding out something like this is just the biggest shock, ever. My dad is fighting bowel cancer as we speak, and it has been nearly a year, and sometimes I still can't believe it. Your right, it does feel like a dream and a really terrible one at that. Just take every day as it comes, and be there anyway you can for your brother, im sure he will really appreciate that, I know my dad does - sometimes just a phone call to tell them that your thinking of them is enough.
Good luck Linda, I hope everything turns out well for your brother and i wish you all the luck in the world.
Take care. x
