My apologies to those following me..
Since my dad passed away 31dec 2011, i have been neglecting my blog page..
For the last 12 months i have been fundraising for Marie Curie Cancer Care, making/selling a selection of handmade cards..the childrens cards have proven popular with my daughters nursery...

I also arranged a charity fundraiser which took place on 11th march 2012....whilst it was hard work organising, it was good fun...So far we have manage to raise £1200......

I will be posting a selection of card stock and card making kits that i hope top sell to help in my fundraising...please take a look....

hi everyone
dad is still very poorly, he spent almost 6weeks in hospital over xmas and new yr..
he has a nurse coming out everyday to give him injection for his pain aswell as topping up his pump and changing his morphine patches...
he has aged so much over last few weeks, the pnumonia has really knocked him...he doesnt have any energy to even get out bed somedays...its so hard to see him go from such a strong man who was always on the go..to a frail helpless man who needs help to get washed /dressed..
i dont know how much fight he has left....

hi everyone
not been on here for a while..so much has happened..
dad had his 3 month scan and was told that unfortunatley his chemo has not worked, in fact the tuma has spread further...they are unable to give anymore chemo as this will be no help and could do more damage, even be fatal...he was addmitted to the marie curie center 2weeks ago to have his pain and anti sickness medication sorted out..he was ok whilst this was given via IV, but when he was weaned back onto oral medication he was unable to take, so was quite sick..they are looking at putting him back on IV meds..hopefully he can come home on monday, dont want him in over xmas, but if he needs to be there then we will see if he can come home on day release for xmas day..
my daughter has who is only 2 must be sensing that something is wrong, she knows grandad has a poorly tummy and has to take tablets to make better, but since he hasd been in hospital she has been very clingy to me and has been off her food..she even refusing chocolate, so she must be sickening.. cant imagine what she will be like if anything happens to dad..

hi guys
ive not had much time to come on here for a while..
dad was due to have his last session of chemo this week, but has been advised that because he has been getting pins and needles in arm and hand they have to stop.. he is waiting to have a scan to see if tuma has shrunk..we have been told that because his dosage was reduced from 2500mg a day down to 1600mg it may not have had much effect....he may need to have dose increased again and continue another course...not sure how he will cope with this,,was really poorly on the higher dose...

will keep you all updated

just a quick update
my dad was due to start another session of his chemo on tuesday, but due his recent illness they have decided to wait another week...
he has noticed that in the short time he was taking the chemo tablets his hair has started to fall out..
it has not been so noticable because we got him to have it shaved down to a number 1...

he is still feeling sick when he eats, but unfortunatly this is something that wont go away as its the tuma that is stopping the food from going down..
we have been told that he could have a stent put in stomach to help food pass through, but this means it has to go through the tuma, which could cause fragment to break off and spread.....

just a quick update
my dad has now been taking chemo tablets for a week..
he is not been very well at all..had to have doctor out today to change his pain relief.
he has not been able to eat much for last few days so been feeling nauseous.
got to keep check on him over next 48hrs and if no change he needs to spend few days in hospital under observation..

i thought i was strong, but seeing him in so much discomfort i crumbled..need a good cry to get out of system..
