Got some sad news last night- remember my friend's husband who got diagnosed with colon cancer a few months ago? Well it's not looking good- the chemo isn't working, he's got liver failure, jaundice and is on steroids as well... They've got an appointment on Monday afternoon with his consultant to see if he can have a diff chemo tablet, but that's only if his jaundice has cleared up and his blood test comes back ok... His consultant isn't hopeful as they think his kidneys are failing him too... Basically if he can't have the diff chemo tab, there's nothing more than can do for him and he's living on borrowed time... They desperately want a baby, and have been told they are eligible for NHS funded IVF but my friend has got to lose weight first (she's rather large) and then they can start the process... They've already frozen his sperm but it's looking likely that he'll be gone before she even has the treatment.. So sad, they've been married for 10 years and trying for a baby all that time, they got told years ago she needed to lose weight but as she's only 30 and he's 33, they thought they had all the time in the world...
Just makes you realise how precious life is... And for me, how lucky I am to have my boy... He's teething and woke up at 3 in pain and looked at me with the saddest eyes and I burst into tears... Love that boy so much... Feeling so sad, can't stop crying... Can't imagine losing the love of my life so young...
