Posting

I did intend to delete the last post after certain people seemed to think I was posting about myself.

I wasn't. Don't know whether it's my settings but the post appears to still be there...

Anyway my friend is doing ok.. which can only be a good thing... She seems a lot more positive now, I'm still keeping an eye on her though.

And now the hard part... My Auntyhas cancer...I mean more cancer. She had breast cancer a few years ago, got through it and stuff, and about 18 months ago she found some more lumps and was on medication for them, anyway she had to go for a scan a few weeks ago, and they've found 'speckles' in her lungs, liver, pelvis and spine. Speckles is far too nice a word when it's used to mean tiny traces of cancerous cells, it makes it sound trivial. It's not. She's got to have major strength chemotherapy to ty and kill it before it gets worse.

The fact that it's spread doesn't sound encouraging to me, but I guess it's wait and see wht the chemo does.

I'm struggling with this at the moment, she'd gone into remission, and my Uncle has been so happy since he l went to live with her, and got married. It's probably been a good ten years since the wedding, which they had after the first illness. It just seems so unfair.

My uncle, most people would say he wasn't very nice having had a 20 odd year affair with my aunty, while living in misery with his first wife. He married the wrong woman. My aunty nakes him happy, where as my uncle and his first wife made eachother miserable ( also technically my aunty) Why they stayed together so long I have no idea...it was handled very badly and was very messy, but I think they're both happy now... Anyway I'm digressing slightly... My point is that he wasted so many years of his life being miserable, and leading a complicated double life, when he could have been happy and lead a much simpler life if he'd called it quits a lot longer ago. And now their happiness is threatened by cancer again... It really isn't fair. I'm hoping and praying every day that things go well, that the chemo works and that my aunty gets better soon.

I didn't realise that about your aunty, you didn't tell me anything about it! As you know my dad had Cancer (very badly) and I thought the worst, (as we all do) but he pulled through. DON'T give up on her hon. well my prayers are with your aunty and with you.
