Rough day - 30th September 2008

Today our world really has shattered!

Jons been getting symptoms back over the past few weeks, we tried to ignore them but we both knew what was around the corner.

Jons Cancer has returned and we spent this morning at hospital visiting the consultant.

Jon has been told there isnt anymore treatment that can be done as he already has had the maximum dosage of both Chemo and Radiotherapy. At the minute were feeling really numb but Jons coping fantastically.

We have told the boys that he doesnt have to go to hospital anymore and cant be made better. We have left it at that, they dont need to know too much yet.

I know its hard to know what to say to Jon or myself but just knowing family and friends are there and being as normal as possible around us both would help us get through this time.

Dear Lizzy,
It was lovely to talk with you on the Whatnow chatroom and I hope we will have many more so that you can get support while you explore your feelings.
Hope you managed to finish your paper and didn't have to stay up all night.
Please use the private conversation facility in the room if you want to chat one to one with anybody, it can get rather busy in there at times.
Hope you'll join us later.
You and Jon have a good day.
Sincerely
