About Me
- Carole
- I'm Carole, living in London, happily married and mum to two amazing boys.I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Rectal Cancer in April 2010. Surgery took place in November 2010 and I now have a permanent colostomy...Spinal mets were then diagnosed in October 2011...In January 2012 I was told of further spread to the hip area (multiple lesions)..My life expectancy is now 6-9 months. Walk alongside me on the last part of my experience with this..
I've saved all the dates on my phone aunty.
ReplyDeleteLove your humour (and that's all it is right?! Your not thinking of leaving the country are you!?).
An inspiration to us all xx
Hi Lamia,
ReplyDeleteI shall stay here and I will do the Op and I will recover and be back to my normal(ish) self as soon as possible.
I have to - Uncle Rabah can only cook about two different meals, Dj won't eat his cooking as it is - so I have no option other than to recover and get back to doing normal things :-))
xxxx
I can see your predicament :-) And as much as I adore your strength and your devotion to your husband and kids, I will say this; you take it easy on yourself and everything else will fall into place.
ReplyDeleteAnd you must remember that we are here! Please tell uncle to bring Dj over here, you are all more than welcome.
My god, my aunty's a superwoman and I didn't know!
xx
You can come her for dinner too, but you'll have to leave the country! So glad your passport is out of date!! But looking forward to seeing your superwoman cape back on so you feel well enough to fly and be pampered in Greece. See you again soon sis, let me know when to fly over. I assume this will be once you've settled back at home? I'll have to start practising some veggy cooking!
ReplyDeletebig hugs sis xxxxx
LOL Sis....
ReplyDeleteFirst you invite me for dinner then immediately say glad my passport is out of date :-)))
On a serious note though, am looking forward to being well enough to fly over. Greek pampering sounds pretty good to me
Much luv to u both xxxx
Also - date for the diary -
ReplyDeleteWednesday 6th October - you wake up to no more cancer. This is the day you really start to kick it right up the bum...

I have informed the airports and harbours so there is no escape !!We want you back here fit and well.
ReplyDeleteStay strong sweetheart.
All my love and admiration

ReplyDeleteSeriously, all of us all reading your blog know that leaving the country is not an option for you, you've got far too much in the way of balls for that.
Thinking of you loads at the moment!

Hi Clare,

Damn shame I can't trade these balls for an arse eh...:-)
