True Puss

and you have done your bit for a helping shoulder, but that isn't just why you get it back
1 you are a lovely caring person
2 people like you
3 even when people don't know you they support those in need ...and thats what I really like about the site.

WELL YOUR HERE NOW UZZIE woops doing it again lol, thats all that matters, just a little reconittion of what your going through really helps, ive had a good run for about 4yrs on here i often offered a shoulder now it seems im needing some lol xx

aww Puss sometimes it takes something like this to pull a family together, I loved my step-dad from the start it took them nearly 6yrs to make it legal mind, he actually kept me and Mum together. Glad you have had a lot of support by pm's from those who can give better advice.
I often wish I had joined here a year earlier than I did for the support the people give.

My babies are fine at the moment the pup is being a mummies girl and little 'un seems to be okay a bit wary but getting her "I'm a rottie status back" I forget sometimes how old she is getting when she has her kick ar*e stance on her.

THANKS UZZI, woops wern't meaning to shout, ive been very lucky we haven't been a close family and the family i have been in touch with has never had cancer so for the first time in my life im not a know it all lol im completly stumped but our daff and a few others have been great ( wont mention names as it was by pm, .........but it has brought a friendship and closeness with my mum like weve never had and can see my step dad wernt that bad and i certainly don't want him to die or suffer, what ever he has done this isn't nice, we speak daily and visit when there down as mine and speckys mock arguments make them laugh ....
uzzi how are your babies xxxx

Good Luck for you step-dad on the 28th (they are precious aren't they)
((((HUGS)))) to you.

I sometimes think I have lived around cancer half of my life having had Dad, step-dad, step-mum, sister, 2 great aunts and gran with it and believe me I don't understand it most of the time. Good luck for you also

sorry meant to ask how are you feeling today xxxx

Hope all goes well for your Step father on the 28th

Puss, in the bumff I pm'd you, one of the things you might have missed was that Chemo and radiation therapy are not normally given for your step dad's cancer, as it is normally treatable via surgery, or laser treatment/chemo creams etc (the last two in the early stages)

My understanding is that this next lot of surgery will determine whether the cancer has stopped being in one place only, and has spread elsewhere, usually the nodes in the groin.

Onece they know what the extent is, they will decide on chemo and radiation... radiation if it has spread to the nodes, usually.

The bumff is a bit difficult to understand, I know... did you go onto the Macmillan site I mentioned? That is worded much more understandably.

Good luck to your step dad, and ((((hugs))))) for all of you

Love

Daff xxx

Wishing your step father all the best on the 28th . michael2

heard from hospital he has to go back in on the 28th for the other operation, not understanding cancer as I've never had a family member with it I've wondered why they haven't zapped it with chemo or radio active thing, is operating a first port of call as that's least invasive i guess depending where it is, it is in a operable position i guess ? xx
