Well once again the dreaded happens, last year a melanoma this time

i had a swollen gland in my groin, 3 weeks later decides to go to docs she thinks its some sort of bug i have tells me to leave it another three weeks unless it gets worse.

 

so gets worse go to a diff doc he sends me straight for needles in it they take cells and some two shots of core and bamo ,goes into docs yesterday i now have aggressive cancer of some sort they dont know what .

 

im booked for a plane to melb on thur to go visit my daughters uni in geelong deakin uni, told doc he said go  have some fun ,on tuesday when i get back all will start to happen .

life just deals one blow after another i thought i was going to be fine after the melanoma, cat scan today showed two lumps now.

hubby is devastated and cant even think straight neither of us can ,whats it all about you have to ask yourself hey.

Thinking of you Della.  Wish I could have come down, but I have to stay put 'till my friends get advice from their Drs. 

 My youngest sister is staying with a friend of hers in Caloundra at the moment, whose husband is having his own battle with it.

Stay strong, and keep fighting,

Cheers,

Sheba.

thanks guys you truly are the most amazing people im so glad i got on this site and joined, ive had some good laughs and cried too
at some of the stories on here.

but truly you guys have been amazing, im waiting for tuesday and they may know a bit more then ,the test has come back 98 percent so far that it
is not melanoma reocurrence .

but theyd dont realy know, hopefully on tuesday we will have my organisation for a hospital bed and take the damn thing or thingsout as cat scan
yesterday proved to be two lumps not one.

Im realy looking forward to going to my daughters university to meet the people she studies with at deakin tomorrow .My book keeper and i have
booked a room at the mercure hotel at geelong ,so i booked a room this morning for my daughter and her partner to stay in so we can go to dinner
and talk and laugh.

her partner lives with his mum in melbourne so its a bit far to have to expect them to come out and dine and then get back late at night.
had not had much sleep but last night i took sleeping tabs and slept realy well ,thank goodness, appetite is another thing not much happening there
but i shall go and get some fruit today and do a bit of a shop ,hubby is going to miss me while im away ,but will do him good to have some time to himself

we have such a wonderful community here the whole of glasshouse, beerwah, landsborough and all praying for us and fingers crossed, they all love us both
so much and reckon there is no way they are letting me go anywhere im stayin put ,gees we bought that camepervan cheap for our retirement so its gotta
hit the road yet hey.

talk soon as i know whats going on ok guys until then enjoy ever bloody minute of the day that you can its so true life is too short and yep you are right
we try to make this place heaven ,im not realy sure what heaven is anymore i dont understand most of the time they takethe best of us ?is that why they
call it heaven because thats where all the good people are, i dunno im not one bit religious i have my own beliefs and one thing i do believe is that this is not the end
we werent put on this earth for no reason .

ive beena good person to everybody i meet and i go out of my way to make people feel welcome ,and i know there has to be more to life than just being here and gone
hopefully in my next one that i can wait for my husband cos thats all i care about more than anything .
