Effing cancer is an effing effer, frankly

I haven’t posted about my father and his cancer for a while.
He was diagnosed with liver cancer early 2023. The medical staff gave him a few months to live and suggested we bring his 80th birthday celebrations forward from September.
He made it to September for his birthday.

Before that we went to Thruxton for the weekend in June to watch the historic racing, he loved it as he used to race single seaters.There was an awful unspoken atmosphere hanging over the weekend as we all fully expected it to be his last weekend away.

One year on and we have just returned from another weekend watching historic racing at Thruxton.
He was given a handful of months to live and is still hanging in there almost 18months later.

Good to hear…keep making those memories.

Plus one

Happy for you all

And another

Eve of my wife's operation. In and out the same day, but we are both pretty nervous,

Good luck to both of you. It will be fine.

First step done. No pain so far but I suspect she’s flying high still. They certainly sent enough pain killers home with her.

Step-son appears to be dealing with it badly and bottling it up. Not ideal.

Good news that it went well and you are both home.
I hope step-son finds a way to cope with it, does he have any siblings who could help?

Today has been a mare.

The wife continues to feel no pain.

The sibling (our 18 year old daughter) had already booked to go to Ibiza, but obviously was a bit upset. I woke up to a message saying please wake up as she was frightened.

I'm not sure, but think this was mostly due to lack of sleep, too much booze and maybe being spiked. She's on a plane now on the way home. 2 days early but she was no longer enjoying it so I just want her home safe...

Step-lad now communicating by text... Better, but does not feel in a place where he can talk. He's a few hours away and there is no chance of getting there.

I had 3 hours sleep, which is normal this week.

I am stresssed!
