Hi and Welcome....

The reason for my blog is that Colin had Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (secondary kidney cancer). In addition to this, his eldest brother David died in April 2008, 5 weeks after being diagnosed with Laryngeal Cancer and his elder sister Sue was diagnosed with Lobular Breast Cancer in March 2009 and sadly passed away in June 2014. All that said, I am still smiling and trying to be up beat about everything because if I wasn’t I don’t think I would cope as well as I have so far. Sadly Colin passed away on 23rd Dec 2009.

If you would like to follow or comment on this blog, then please feel free.

First Holiday without Colin

It was very strange packing and going away on holiday without Colin.
It was so much easier just packing for 2 of us and on the journey there was no one else moaning about the other drivers.
Its only now that I'm starting to realise just how much I having been doing for Colin over the last few years as I am actually getting time to myself after doing all the jobs that need to be done each day.
Kieran and I had a lovely week in Taunton with Sue and Holly and went out for a few day trips. We went to Cheddar Gorge twice, Wells & Camelford and even got to wander round to shops in relative peace.

There are a group of us going to Edinburgh on 5th March for the weekend, so that should be fun!! All of a sudden I seem to have gained a social life which takes some adjusting too, but I'm getting there.

  1. Sandi...I hope you and Sue keep up with your blogs as I am always interested in what you two are to, lol.
    I would imagine it is hard getting back into the social life but you seem to be handling it well.
    Hugs♥

  2. Hi My name is Ann. I am 40 and my husband has secondary kidney cancer. We have 2 children 8 & 5. I read your blog it was lovely and the poems too. My husband is very low at the minute after having radio thearpy on his back 6 weeks ago he has never really picked up. I feel so guilty wishing it to end. But he has no life and so unhappy.
