Hello Jann I am very pleased that you could relate to my post. It makes it so worthwhile to risk and put your feelings out there. I have been repaid so many times. In response to your question some days are better than others. Yesterday we ended up in casualty as my Wife could not stop throwing up after chemo and was becoming dehydrated. Things are fine now, well fine as they should be moving toward the wellness state. Some days I just want to put everything down and have a rest and I DO FEEL ANGRY. My outlet is playing music, I play the electric bass and cello. I find playing music very relaxing and is good selfish ME TIME . I am going to start playing gigs again and putting back into myself so I can keep putting out. It sounds simple but I didn’t realise how drained I was. Do you have something selfish that you can do for yourself? And just for yourself? It could help you with your anger. It has certainly helped me. Take care of yourself Regards Iain ... View more

My heart goes out to you, you are a very special Mum and woman. I can especially relate to the time spent with the treatment. My wife spends so much time either having the treatment or having supportive treatment. Fortunately we have a team of friends who give support while I am at work. It must have been very hard for you with children. It appears that the treatment is part-time to full time in the effort required! Its great to hear that things are as good as they have ever been for you, This has really brightened my week. Us poor old males tend to be such sexual creatures!! 😞 A year to 18mths is do able for me. Thank you Mini Driver ... View more

Wow, what a very poor uneducated way to behave I sincerely hope NOT to come across that poor misguided individual. I hope that you wrote and reported this person to the hospital board of directors. I certainly would. Thanks for your response Iain ... View more
