    This week I have made a decision that this is not going to bother me, after a fabulous weekend off from all treatment, as I only have to do it on week days, I made the decision that the nausea is not going to be a problem, and to be honest I haven't felt sick since last Friday . I do however feel a little tired due to the radiation but that's nothing new than being a parent. I just rest when I can and power on through when I can't ..

    On Monday we said a final goodbye to my beautiful sister who had fought a huge battle with cancer for most of her life.

    First developing breast cancer at 30, than again at 50 and then Peritoneal mesothelioma. She fought every stage of her cancers with dignity and strength and was a true inspiration to everyone around her, even her doctors and hospital staff.

    It's so sad that I can't provide the best care for my partner. I wish I could make him happy by keeping him at home as he wishes. I say it's temporary only as it's all too much and I need time to see if there is anything I can do to organise the house so that he can come back to and be comfortable.

    One aspect of my life that I really had trouble coming to terms with after diagnosis was the loss of all my connections - my people connections.I have been giving this a lot of thought now that my head seems to have stilled and I can actually think again. I've come to some realisations, but I am unsure how this will affect my response to people and my relationships in the future.

    What an exhausting weekend and its only sat, I am totally buggered. Today both Dan and I are "recovering" from a massive emotional drain - yes that's right a huge ass fight.
    For months we have filled our life cup with constant stress, anxiety, fear, pain, treatment for cancer, everything cancer and more cancer.

    It has been just over a year since I was diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer, things were going really well, strange person I am I actually got better on chemo so when it came to surgery over Christmas I was cancer free from the bits they removed including the lymph nodes. Reason to celebrate with small meals, due to stomach shrinkage as I was discharged from hospital on 1st January Cancer free which was my goal.
