hi Mersey yhank you ear infection is not to bad the only one of the children we are worried about is the young one she has adhd she could go one way or the other will hope for the best update later on how she takes it . :-D :-D

Michael, I have to agree that you and your wife are amazing at facing your fears head on. It won't be an easy thing for your wife to sit and tell your grandchildren about your serious illness, especially if your youngest has ADHD but I do hope that your wife will find the right words to support all of your grandchildren and today, I will uphold you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope your ear infection is calming down and that you and your wife and all your family can enjoy special time together today. xx

Michael,

Wishing you and your wife all the luck in the world that all goes well for you and your grandchildren today.

You are obviously a very close and loving family. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

Hello Michael,
Just popping back in to see how you doing. plus the wife and grandchildren. Thinking of you all x
Anne

well it went well today the grandchildren took it very well of course there were tears and cuddles, and a few questions we explained about the treatment we also gave them a book each so they can read in there own time. wife and step daughter said that as they had been so good they would take them to the shop and buy them some sweets the little one said you all go I,m going to stay with granddad micky bless her the shop is only 7 doors away but no she stayed with me.then phoned me when she got home . and to think she was the one we were worried about. might be different tomorrow when it sinks in. so feeling a bit happier now they have been told. :-D :-D :-D

Another hurdle over Michael for you and your wife.

Children are quite resilient aren't they? How sweet the little one wanted to stay with her Granddad Micky. That is an excellent idea to hand the grandchildren books to read in their own time. It's best to be open and honest with children because they pick up on atmospheres so easily. You all can relax a little now.... tomorrow is another day.
Well done to Mrs M. That can't have been an easy task today! xx

Michael. What a relief for you all that it went as well as it did. Must have been so hard for your wife to tell the little ones. As Kandj said, children are so resilient. I hope you are feeling better in yourself and the sickness has now gone. Take care.xx

I am glad that it went well with the grandchildren, well done on putting them in the picture, it can't have been easy for any of you.

Very disappointing about McMillan, I am wondering if something has got lost in transit.

Hope your ear infection has cleared up so that you can take the next chemo tablet.

You and your wife have gone through so much, some good days and some dark days it all seems to be part of the progression of the treatment. I'm sure that you will have all the love and support of your family. The grandchildren sound delightful and must bring you so much joy. I hope you are feeling a bit better today, and hope the MacMillan nurses show up soon, I am very surprised they seem to have let you down, they were every kind and excellent support to me and my husband. i send my warmest wishes to you and your wife.

thank you all I,ve had a gooday went shopping with son and wife for a while just to get some fresh air and change of senery instead of looking at four walls. had a few texts from the little one I call her my little stalker bless her, gave her a new phone as she was the only one who did not have one you would have I gave her the world. just been watching Hannah hauxwells winter tales there,s one gusty lady put us all to shame. well worth watching if you can. as for me had a good day not to much painam back at the hospital tomorrow to see if I can have the second dose of chemo fingers crossed.it goes well should be ok. its seem blood tests are ok.thank god my son is around he does take the stain off the wife a bit nothing is too muchtrouble for him although he has is own troubles he was due to move last Saturday but when he went to his new flat found the roof was leaking in several places and ceiling were down.the builders in there doing it so is still staying with us that's not a problem.he can stay as long as he likes. hes a good boy. :-D :-D :-D

Hi Michael. good to hear you had a nice day. Bless your granddaughter she will be texting you all the time now which is nice. I do hope you get your treatment tomorrow. What a shame about your sons roof in his flat. Having said that, it is working out better for you all being together just now.. He is a good help to you and your wife, which is probably helping him take his mind off his own worries at the moment. Hope you sleep well tonight.xx

For Michael and family as always :-) <3

Michael - pleased to read that you had a good day yesterday and enjoyed getting out for some fresh air, I hope all goes well at the hospital today and you can move forward with your treatment.


.

Glad that you managed to get out of the house for a change Michael. Your little stalker will be texting no end now, the young ones are so much better than we are.

I remember the tv series showing Hannah Hauxwell and what a hard life she led but truly inspirational to many people. I read her autobiography too and that is well worth reading.

Fingers crossed that you will be allowed to continue with your chemo. I hope your son's flat is sorted out for him but you all seem to be enjoying being together, so no rush on that score. Take it easy and have a good day. xxx

Still thinking of you and your family Michael. Hope you can continue with the chemo. It's lovely that you are such a close family. Your grandchildren obviously think the world of you and I can see why.

Keep your pecker up.

Hi Michael,

just popping in to send you and yours my best wishes,

Susan :-)


just re read what I had typed, had to correct 'popping' :-D

hi well today went well went to the oncology dept to day she said to me how do you fell so I said with me hands lol she laughed told her why my chemo had stopped and about ear infection, and that its nearly gone she gave me some antibotics in case it flares up again and to have a blood test if that come back ok I can start chemo again well they rang me at 6pm to say all is clear so tomorrow I can start them again. also told them about mcmillian not being in touch but had heard from palliative care she said that here in Essex McMillian is known as palliative care is how McMillian is known, never knew that so just got to wait till I hear from them again as they was coming today but had to put them off as I was at the hospital and did not no how long I would be there just as well as the clinic was running late as well as had to wait to get blood test done.so was a good day alround but was feeling a bit knackerd but worth it. :-D :-D :-D

Michael, what a great sense of humour you have. Pleased to hear all went well today and you can start your chemo again tomorrow. At least now you know McMillan is the same as palliative care, I never knew that either, and you will be seeing them soon. Have a good rest as you have had a tiring day and please keep that sense of humour. xx

What a tonic you are Michael. I bet that also is what the oncology nurses in clinic thought too.
You seem to have had a good and positive day today. At least you have had explanations re: MacMillan/Palliative Care Nurses and are sure to have them ring you again. Like you and Sylvia too, this info was also news to me.
Good luck with the chemo tomorrow. Hope you will have a decent nights sleep, you have certainly earned it. xx

thank you I will try and go out to morrow as forcast is for a fine day need to go to the bank and have a little nose around town to see what I can spend a pound or two on and sit in the high street with a cup of coffee and watch the world go by.i might even buy wife a cake to go with the coffee. lol :-D :-D :-D
