Veel succes met de operatie en de hernia. Wat een kutzooi, niet te geloven. Ik hoop dat je er snel vanaf bent en ik stuur je een leuk cadeautje.. niks zachts of liefs, wel iets zwaars en scherps.. voor de zusters. Zal ik meteen hun rooster er ook bij sturen, weet je meteen waar ze zich schuil houden. succes!!!

Thanks sweetie i am looking forward to receiving the manchette ;D quick update: Mr. Lungs' scan shows his cancer is "relatively stable" - it is very hard to determine exactly if it's grown or now because his sort consists of fluid which clings onto some places a bit more, but a bit less in other places. Overall the oncologist was very happy with the result so we are, too. His heart and lungs-scans were just fine aswell, so that's all good I am getting my surgery on oct 16th, he won't have to have any chemo at least until 3 weeks after my op, so we can now focus on me getting healthy enough again to start helping him again. Complicated stuff this hospital planning thing

Aaawwww thank you sweetie.... i am getting quite nervous now. It's been rough organizing things at home for the time i will be away (3 to 5 days they say) so that Mr. Lungs is okay without my direct help. Plus organizing some sort of help for when i get back because apparently i won't be able to do any serious housework for 6 weeks, and neither can he. I've been busy doing as much as possible now, so that we don't have to ask too much help from friends. It takes some planning - the things i can do now to get my garden ready for winter, because by the time it gets really really freezing cold i won't be able to do much. So i am getting things as ready as possible, hoping my friends will only have to do some finishing touches. Ugh, the nerves........

Scary week ahead. Blood results for Mr. Lungs on tuesday, tissue-scan results for me on wednesday. The phrase "hang in there" is beginning to put pictures of ropes hanging from the staircase in my head

The news this week: - my results came back clear, no more cancer - Mr. Lungs has more fluid in his belly which probably means his cancer is growing. Fuck this whole fucking thing. It is very hard to stay positive and to keep taking life one day at the time. What the fuck happened to us this past year?
m0ng0, i am rereading parts of the shack.

It's my mum here. The more we walk and get old, the more we have to be strong to those things around us. I wish i would love to have an innocent way of thinking, and appreciate life just like children do, but with all the knowledge of life i have.

Maidli.... what can i say.... it is all so tragic And m0ng0 - do take care of y00rself, check ups don't always keep you safe but at least it is a chance to get in the know at an early stage. For me, it is my own quick thinking that prevented cancer. Had i not taken my problems serious enough to go to the doctor, chances are i would have had cancer and it would have gone on too far. Waiting for my results was scary shit, there was a possibility it had gotten through my muscles to other body parts. I am very lucky. Life after surgery is okay, i do feel something is missing but then again, something is missing so i guess that is a normal feeling. I am not particularly sad because of it. I know many women do seriously mourn the loss of these bodyparts, but i had already come to terms with the fact i wasn't able to have any children. It is one of the things we had to deal with about 15 years ago. Physically it is a slow recovery. Ugh, i never knew how much you normally bend down, carry stuff, walk up and down stairs etc. It is frustrating that i can't do much at all, and Mr. Lungs can't either. We had to ask a neighbour to help us move a table so i could lie down in the livingroom, and a friend took out the trash for us because neither of us can carry much. Emotionally Mr. Lungs' results are scaring the shit out of me. What is next? We have no idea what these next few weeks will bring. I am scared but we love eachother and he is still with me. I haven't selfharmed since the day before my operation, because i wanted the op to bring a significant change in the way i handle anger and frustration. I am doing it for myself, but for him aswell. I need to be strong for him, because he would do the same for me. Thanks

The last sentence is something m0ng0 said to me when all this started. It has become some sort of mantra for me. For a roadkill-eating bastard he has some very wise things to say Like a regular y0da he is...
