Just wanted to share my thoughts

[Lesley110]

Yesterday my husband went to see a specialist nurse, for what I thought was going to be confirmation that he had an ulcer so I never bothered to go with him. He came home to inform me that he possibly has cancer. As you can imagine, my world feels like it has crumbled around my ears, he is my rock, I am a stroppy cow, roaring into action if someone hurts one of my brood, but now... I am left a gibbering wreck. We are both trying to keep a brave face but when talking to the kids online I am struggling with the tears. He has to endure further tests and although he has already had a endoscopy and a ct scan nothing was definate, the biopsy has not shown any cancerous cells, more tests to follow but I live in hope that it is all a storm in a tea cup but....

Please forgive me for discussing a matter that is not weight loss related but I feel that I need the support of the wider family today.

My OH and I are trying to live life as normal as you do, with the practicalities of change of diet (same as a bypass with the exception of no low fat/diet items). The children are trying to come to terms with the fact that their father may have cancer. My diet has gone out of the window, the booze has come out and Ben and Jerrys ice cream has never tasted so good. Monday will be a new start again... I don't expect any response just a frendly ear to bend and a shoulder to cry on. Thank you

Thank you all of you for your support, I must admit I went on line after downing a bottle of chardonnay and a tub of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream, I was not in a very good place! But today is another day, the fight goes on, fresh start with the diet on Monday and try to roll with the punches as they say!
