——————- ————————————12th June 2009—————–
I’m home for the weekend as the Consultant said to go home and have a break, as I have had so much bad news and so many tests but he cant do anything until the culture has grown from the fluid they have drained from my lung all 5.5 ltres and 2 litres I threw up from my tummy. He is sending for me on Wednesday when I’m booked in for a Tunnel scan of my airways to see if any Cancer lies hidden there. I cant believe that doing the washing of Rays work clothes 30 years ago has caused this. Asbetos is very damaging and they are only just seeing so many people suffering from the outcome. I have a real battle on my hands, but with all these lovely wishes, I will fight— I promise The nurses, as they said bye to me today, were all in tears, which shocked me somewhat but I have been the little helper and have looked after the other 3 patients in my room, as they could not get out of bed to do things. In fact we have had a laugh because you just have to laugh. My question was how do you cope—the answer is with laughter and great friends and the love of life–THANKYOU xxx
