| Hi all a few weeks ago you might remember I had a bit of a health scare well I've since had an endoscopy and last week a colonoscopy and CT scan and the results are not good, they have found a large tumor which in the report says is "most likely malignant" now I can handle that news no problem I'll deal with whatever comes along but my babies are another matter, it would break my heart to have to re-home them and that will be the very last resort but I need to get a plan of action in place with regards to their care so can someone please advise me on a) boarding or b) finding someone to come in on a daily basis to care for them while I'm not here. |

Sorry to hear your news, Jane. I hope they are wrong about the "most likely" part of the diagnosis.
Are there no neighbours, friends or family who could make up a rota to look after the pets? The cat and lab would probably need to be fostered with one carer but the others should be OK with someone just doing the daily rounds.
Best wishes, Alan.  |

Thanks Alan and Donnie, panic over, Ozzie and the cats are being taken care of by my friend next door, she is coming round to look after them but she terrified of snakes and creepy crawlies but I've just had a call from my son and between him and a friend of his they will take care of Rhubarb, Custard, Tripod and the colony of silkies so everyone sorted and a big weight off my mind.

Sorry to hear of your health issues.
I don't know if I can help,but maybe I can give you hope:
I have a condition called Dermatomysitis.This causes all sorts of 'random'cancers to crop up.Muscle, skin ,and conective tissues are also affected.
Some days are good some bad.The tests are endless and ongoing BUT years later and I'm still here
With family,friends (and TCS!)life can be good.
I wish you happy days and good friends.

I was thinking of you at the end of last week, debating about contacting you to see how you were doing Jane. I'm sorry the news isn't good but I totally understand that you're actually in a better place now than you were before....at least you know what it is and can do something about it, instead of that 'limbo land' you were in. I pray that their 'most likely' diagnosis is wrong, and if it isn't that they're able to get as much as possible and zap the rest, without too much detriment to you.
I'm SO glad you've sorted out the care for your babies, again I totally understand why you're more worried about them than you are yourself....although I'm guessing you, and your family, are struggling more than you're letting on. My offer is the same as Herriotfan's, contact me anytime....to moan, to rant, just to chat, whatever helps.
You're in my thoughts Jane.
Xxx

Lindsay (mrsbunt) and smart bunny thank you for your messages they certainly help.
Judith (Kellog) thank you so much and yes I do have to admit that I do tend to put on a brave face to the rest of the family as I don't want them worrying so when you get offers of a shoulder to cry on or somewhere to let off steam it really does mean a lot so once again thank you. xx |

I am exactly like you Jane, and somehow it helps you cope doing it but it isn't necessarily the best way to cope. I think that sometimes your family and friends need to see what you're REALLY feeling. They are going to be worrying enough as it is and, as they know you, will know exactly what you're doing. Sometimes it helps them cope if they can be that shoulder to cry on, in the right circumstances of course. I do hope I'm making some sort of sense  !!!
You know where I am Jane....and, in turn, you can help keep me sane when my OH and the kids are climbing Kili  !
Xxx

| I think it's all part of being a mum the protect at all costs syndrome takes up residence and after that everything else has to fall in line behind. Oh and don't worry I'll be right there with you while you're family is off on their Kili trip. I can see we're going to be having some rather late night chats :o) x |
