A tough cookie
Huge sighs of relief.
J got the "all clear" yesterday. 6 months of chemotherapy now; beginning in January.
I've been trying to work out how I feel about this whole dreadful experience. The worst was seeing her undergo surgery, and the immediate recovery period. So vulnerable; battling a chest infection and the ghastly effects of morphine - which made her feel frightened and so out of control of her situation.
J stood up for herself, and insisted on having medication reviewed regularly. Right from the start she was on the case; getting the nurses to tell her the observations they were recording, and suggesting when she felt her medication could be reviewed/increased/reduced. She even rang me from the recovery unit the following morning; struggling to catch her breath just to tell me she loves me.
We're ticking things off. Doing it day by day. What else is there to do?

Oh Mr Wibble - so sorry to hear what you and J have been through.
Glad to hear she's got the all clear and best of luck with the chemo - horrible, but powerful stuff - it made me better!
Yes Anx.. she's my love and is such a trooper. Her beautiful and tiny body has been through so much. Cant begin to say how much I love her and want her to be ok. I think I know how you two must be feeling. Look after yourself hon x
