joybelle Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Some of you may remember my post last year when I was diagnosed with breast cancer which was shortly after BIL found out he had bowel cancer. Well 2010 carried on in the same dreadful way, hubby was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in March and my brother found out in July he had advanced Pancreatic cancer which had spread to his liver, and just three months later on October 12th he passed away aged 61. Our dog hasnt escaped either we found out in May she has an inoperable tumour. It was awful to watch my brother get worse as each day passed, his appearance changed so much and near the end he couldnt walk or speak. He spent one week in hospital in August and the rest of the time was at home where he died. I coiuld never remember him being ill he never had a day off work and then this happened to him. My cancer has so far not returned and I go for regular checkups and had mamagram in August. As for hubby he has had six monthly hormone injections and completed 4 weeks radiotherapy in October. He has to go back to hospital in December to see how successful it has been. Well as for Milly our springer spaniel the vet thought she would have a few months left and that was in May. So far she is ok likes her walks and eats well so we will keep her as long as we can. She is almost 12 years old. We are just hoping for a better 2011. Thank goodness for the hens they are a welcome distraction from all this misery. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
