O F**k sprang to mind but I doubt it's of much help to you. I'm in agreement with your regulars above. This is an absolute bastard of a disease and I truly hope you keep up the good fight. One (sort of) positive thing is they've at least identified the source of your pain and can now work on effective relief from that. If it wasn't for your strong, forthright personality, the bone mets would probably have been left unidentified until there was nothing left to fight for. Someone meek and mild wouldn't stand a chance in the current medical world. Carol you are in our thoughts and we hope you find some respite from your pain soon. Big hugs (((())))Nicky xx<br /><br />Ps, you ask about Stevie from time to time, well he's considered cured from the cancer but he's currently suffering from the effects of his Ileostomy reversal because the silly bugger won't sort his diet out! He is very lucky though. His dad on the other hand has recently been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer....

My thoughts are on you daily as I check your blog but this is one pice of news I did not want to see and confess I did not see it coming although you as always seem to have been well researched on what potentially was happening. I know you will keep us up to speed on what can and will be done and I hope that there are now more positives to come out of this for you. Really really gutted for you Carole and just wish so much that I could wave a magic wand and it would just be a bad dream. <br />GrahamGrahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-67075894506575193542011-10-20T15:41:29.688+01:002011-10-20T15:41:29.688+01:00There's not really a lot to say that is constr...There's not really a lot to say that is constructive or helpful at this moment in time other than what has already been said a few times...bastard, bastard, bastard cancer.<br /><br />Despite this bastard news, I know that you'll be rolling your sleeves up and bravely tackling this bastard cancer once more...This time, though, in addition to your wonderful family, you have a huge army of friends and followers near and far who will be here to hold your hand the whole way.<br /><br />Not sure I've ever used the bastard word 6 times in such a short comment before, but I feel it is completely justified on this occasion.<br /><br />Rolling my sleeves up with you Carole<br /><br />Much love as always<br /><br />xxxxxxShentsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-91682069155662142342011-10-20T14:49:04.749+01:002011-10-20T14:49:04.749+01:00There isn't a god in my universe either. What ...There isn't a god in my universe either. What the hell the universe is about, I really don't know.<br /><br />I just hope you don't get too much of the "everything will be OK in the end" because this is contrary to your own instincts. As a doctor I can only agree with your outlook and expectations about what the future may hold for you.<br /><br />In one respect things don't change: none of us will live forever, whether we already have an illness that may kill us in the end or whether we think we are hale and hearty.<br /><br />At nearly 65 I think I am in pretty good shape. But I am well aware that in a month from now change may have it that I will have received one grave diagnosis or another from my doctor and in another year I might be dead from it. The point I am making is that the more successful of us goes on living life as fully as we may while we still have it. What I would wish for you is that you find the strength to do so.<br />I have met some remarkable people making their final journey in full knowledge of what the end would be. Some have allowed me to hold their hand, metaphorically, as they did so. I was staggered at what some of them managed to achieve.Dr Henry Tegnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066781800926576413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-89866997330384648122011-10-20T14:09:35.251+01:002011-10-20T14:09:35.251+01:00Dear Carole
