A day I would rather forget

To be honest I don`t think I could have asked for a worse day....And it was supposed to be happy....
Today was Matt`s and my Wedding Anniversary...7 years gone by already.....But instead of a day of celebration it turned out to be miserable....
Firstly Matt was sick and bed ridden all day...
Then the weather was miserable.....I couldn`t get outside to do anything that I had planned...
And for the final blow.....
My sister rang me to tell me she has cancer....
OMG could it be any worse.....
I did go around and see her late this afternoon....She is in high spirits which is a good sign....So now they will operate to remove the cancer and while she is under they will insert into her bladder a bout of chemo....This is where the cancer has started to form.....She showed me a picture of it tonight when they did the ultra sound and it looks like a peice of coral growing....
Fascinating to look at but wanting it out of her body for good.....
I feel better now for seeing her and i`m positive that she will be ok....It`s been 6 months sice her last checkup as she has been having trouble with growths for quite sometime now so she is closely monitored....But boy in that 6 months it`s grown so quickly.....
I`ll keep you up to date on how her progress goes.....
Better get myself to bed.....
Today is a day I would rather forget and start a fresh tomorrow....
Goodnight all......

  5. Hi Mandy,

    I'm terribly sorry about the news of your sister. It's such distressing news. We are making such great progress on the medical side of things especially with some of the cancers hopefully it won't be long before they can cure all of them.

    Bad days happen but as my Labrador always reminds me ........ each day is a brand new doggy day so come out with your tail wagging and with a big smile on your face tomorrow because things will turn around.

    Cheers

    Rudy
