Thanks Katherine. To me, you always come across as lovely person on CC, little posts like this go towards making me correct in thinking that.
I've found it hard recently to be on here or anywhere else really. My wife had cancer 5 years ago and beat it, unfortunately the radiotherapy has caused another cancer that is pretty much incurable, apart from having major surgery to remove it. This started again a few months ago and it obviously took over our lives again. I've just not bothered cycling or doing anything, the news made us both so depressed. It's hard when you keep hearing people telling you to be positive when we know what will eventually happen. I've been spending time with her and caring for her in and out of hospital, running a business and even trying to look after the house and dog (he's been no company because he missed his mum and sulked all day and night). The hospital trip was a nightmare, 4 hours to do a journey that was less than hour! Our normal lives have been taken away from us and we want to get back to being ourselves again.
We get the results in January to see if it's clear for a while longer. Hopefully it'll have done the trick.
In the meantime, I'm intending to get back on the bikes and regain some sanity (and waistline)
Thanks Katherine
sorry for the moan
That's been a tough end to 2016 for you, I wish that 2017 will hold better news for you both. Do have a bit of me time on the bike, if you are like me it can allow the mind to wander and be distracted by the beauty in the world. My Dad is just about to start the radiotherapy phase, he's having his tattoo marks next week, but I can see him withdrawing into his mind. I'm just trying to find things to draw him back out again.
