gems So lots has been going on recently, both good and bad. We lost a very special person to us last week which was a huge shock and she is missed dearly. Still sinking in really. It just makes you remember that you're not invincible and that anything can happen at anytime. I know people say it all the time, but it really is so true, you should live every moment of your life, and enjoy it. xx

gems The weather has been gorgeous here in the UK over the past couple of days and is set to continue for the bank holiday weekend. Going to use it as a time to build on the health and fitness I've already started. I hope everyone is doing OK, and please do come along and use the Forum to share ideas, get support and discuss ideas.

gems Well hubby is in having his 6 month PET scan since his treatment finished, fingers crossed it is all OK. xx

gems Hi All, how is everyone? I'm not bad although had a bit of bad news the other week, but it's OK will get over it. Also feeling a bit fed up with people not saying things to your face when it would just be soooooooo much easier to do so, just causes unnecessary uneasiness. Oh well, sure it will all work out :-). Hope everyone is ok. xx

gems Just heard a lovely paragraph from a poem "If a woman does not keep pace with her companions perhaps it's because she hears a different drummer. Let her step to the music which she hears however measured or far away." - just thought I'd share it :-)

gems Currently in Cambridge having dropped our dog off to have his eye removed as he had a tumour, to then get a phonecall from the specialist to say he's never known it before but the tumour seems to have reduced in size - he is completely baffled - but good news the eye doesn't need to come out. Are kids just as bad on your nerves as Husbands and animals? x

gems is mostly fed up.

gems Happy New Year everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. Mark and I are doing well, he's received the all clear which is great but still that constant worry there, especially when it comes to the time for testing which at the moment is every 6 months. Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to deal with the worry? Guess it's just something you have to go with and trust your instincts :-).

gems Merry Christmas everyone hope you all have a fantastic day x

gems Hi All, hope everyone is well. Feeling a bit down at the moment, lots of changes going on at the moment, and not sure I really like all of them. Why is it that you can't choose things that you want to change, sometimes just feels as though the carpet has been whipped away from under you. Oh well never mind :-), hope you're all doing OK and please do get in touch if you fancy a chat. x

gems Having a bit of a down day today for some reason. It's coming up to Mark's first 1 month test and just feeling a little bit apprehensive about it. When does it start getting easier or do you always think the worst? x

gems Just back form holiday - could really do with going away again though - still feel quite tired. I hope everyone is doing well this week xx

gems Well we had Mark's test results back on Friday and he is in remission, which is fantastic news, although I now feel soooooo tired. I think all the emotions that I stored away throughout the past 6-8 months are starting to come out in tiredness. Fingers crossed it all stays away and he is healthy from here on out. xx
