Like your step dad, I thought I had better show my OH and son how to cope in the kitchen, pay the bills(thats when we went direct debit so they didnt have to bother) And how to use the washing machine. 22yrs later, OH doesnt cook, but does the ironing, never pays a bill. Can turn off the washing machine. I had been told I wouldnt last the year, my GP had never seen a patient with ovarian cancer recover.

Puss i would just like to add my good wishes for you and your family (((HUGS))) xxx

Oh Puss, I am so sorry (((hugs))).

In my thoughts and prayers.

Waffle all you like, lovely..... it is good to have somewhere you can vent all your fears and worries when you need to keep cheerful for the family.

And you are right.... your GP is being as honest as she can be, but she doesn't have your stepdad's notes, and also.... everyone's cancer is slightly different, even if the have the same one... so no-one knows.... no-one.

Being positive helps build up the immune system... that is a proven fact.... and your stepdad's immune system is what will be helping the chemo/radotherapy/surgery.... whatever he needs.... to beat his cancer... so being positive will help no end.

Love and ((((((hugs)))))

ps i meant to say thankyou for your thoughts xxx

him and my mum came over today my step dad is loud and bubley i heard him before i saw him and it chocked me but i knew i had to be cheerfull and was, he talked and talked and we all agreed he would be fine, he is a big fellow and worked hard so he certainly has something to fight with, the phone rang it was my gp she is wonderfull she said she had tried ringing yesterday but got the answer phone , i told her what was happening, she checked my tabs were ok as thats what she had called for, and said if i needed to chat to her about dad i could, so i asked her about what he has , she said because its returned the prognosis is bad , i thanked her for her time , i walked back in living room with a smile and said the doc says she thinks you will be fine, bare faced lie but she dosnt have his notes or history so i wont take what she said as gospel, me and mum went to the gardening place and walked around a supermarket thing that sells everything, everyone felt better they went home happy, he is never ill , he still climbs on roofs to fix ariels and stands on top of his caravan to clean it and falls in next doors garden, he electrocutes himself and apart from specky he is another frank spencer DIY damage it yourself, he cant die cause mum cant use a cashpoint put electric key in and gas, he cleans the cooker pays the bills , bless him this morning he got out of bed and said to mum i better show you how everything works, he has just buried his brother from dying with bowel cancer, sorry waffling on xx

I really hope it goes well for you and your step-dad.

You're in my thoughts

Try and keep him hopeful and he will have a better chance of recovery. Do talk about it, not hide it away. I never concealed my cancers from anyone and it helps others to understand that it can be cured.

praying that your stepdad will receive treatment that is successful and will regain his health and strength.xxxxxx

thanku all we are all feeling a bit more positive today xx

there is no easy way off asking this but the lump is the sie off a golf ball, mum thinks he will have his bits removed and will need a bag , ive had a look on line , i wonder how early they mean early?, otherwise he is well built hard working healthy man so he stands an excellent chance i hope, please tell me what you think, another thing daff they did a biopsy there 3 yrs ago one of the lumps was cancerous but they said he didnt need further treatment as they had it all hopefull its just turned xx
