Bit of a mix. I'm on a weeks holiday to Melbourne. Had a lovely day with two families I used to nanny for...but today is sandwiched between visits with a third family I used to work for.
They get more visits because their son has GBM. He's not likely to live much longer...could be weeks or days. He's nine. It's devastating. The decline in his health since I saw him just three weeks ago is significant and soul crushing.
Shit's fucking unfair. No one deserves this, much less a child.
I know I told a on the ol' regular phone, but you're the best kind of person for being there. I would have freaked out & had a hard time showing up. I'm sure it means the world to that family having you visit in spite of how hard it is. You're a good person for going, cunt ass bitch.
Yeah. About the worst kind. 5 year survival rste is like...5%. It doesn't spread anywhere else in the body, but the tumours are very fast growing and spread kind of like octopus legs through the brain.
He had super successful surgery shortly after his diagnosis, nd did really really well on his first round of chemo and radio...until he didn't. And they didn't want to put him in a new trial but his parents fought for it. And it didn't work.
He was diagnosed less than a year ago. Or right on a year. I can't remember.
My friend was a mentor to me, and he had laser surgery on his brain, went through chemo, and radiation, but he relapsed later and passed about 18 months after his diagnosis. I wish I had asked him more questions. I was afraid that I would be a pain in the butt, I dunno. He told me that the way it started was that he started getting these awful headaches where he would smell things that weren't there like burning plastic, or rotten vegetables.
I still miss today. I did grieve, but I always feel that my grieving was interrupted, because there was a lot of stuff going on in my life at the time. I will say that I'm so grateful that his partner welcomed me to come over to visit him on his deathbed. I visited with my friend, his partner, and his sister, and we also prayed together. I really miss my old, dear friend.
Brain cancer is really scary to me.
Thank you for asking. Today is like most days. I am overly comfortable in my chair, with a Cherry Coke Zero at the ready, as sunshine streams thru the skylight in my vacuum quiet family room. I am contemplating my way thru the Ego Integration phase of my psychosocial development. I would rather attack this challenge actively, but cannot because my three daughters-in-law (47, 42, 37) hate my guts. Meh, their loss.
As I ponder, I am increasingly distracted by recreational possibilities for the summer. That and the fresh air on the local bike trail. Think I'll go for a 10 mile ride before dinner.
Pretty good...although I forgot to buy cheese at the grocery store & I don't wanna ride my bike back lol.
Went on a nice, very long bike ride today. My fiance is lax on the driving lessons, so I'm trying to get to the beach on my bike, which is a bit far since i have to take backroads.
Did some fun stuff this weekend- bit of mountain biking, the 1000 steps hike & some night time 4 wheel driving (although we dented a side panel on the car :/) & hoping to go camping next weekend coz it's a holiday weekend.
On the bad news front, one of our cats is very sick & my Visa is stressing me. Oh aaaand I had to decline a volunteer position coz the aussie govt isn't having any of it until I'm a permanent res, which I was very bummed about.
Thanks for asking. How've you been, OP???
Awww that's not cringy! It's pretty awesome that you're spending your time creating something. You should be proud.
She's my fiance's, but I love her like my own. He bottle fed her when she was just a baby, so he's way overly attached. I'm the same way with my fat little kitty, Goobler. I'm getting worried that I'm gonna have to talk him into putting her down when it's time.
I am doing exceptional! Currently on this site during math class snd looking forward to a workout later today. I do have got a descent amount of homework to do also at some point today, but I like to procrastinate. After I'm done I plan to reward myself with some good ole porn hub later tonight.
