Thank you for your messages.

Thinking of you both

Let us know.

Teddy, I hope things look up and the diagnosis is as good as it can be. You are really going through a terrible time at the moment, but you seem so positive. You are clearly a very brave lady. Please let us know how things are going with your husband's illness. I imagine that is taking first priority now, over your other troubles with his financial stinginess. Good luck with the doctor's appt.

Glad to see you are still posting Teddy while going through this horrible time I would really concentrate on his health and not any strange things he has said as he may not be meaning any of it Good luck for next Friday

Good luck, Teddy. It must be a very stressful time for you both.

Hello,Thank you for comments and kind wishes.He was awake all night,last Wednesday, with toothache and his cheek was swollen,in the morning,we phoned all round the area for emergency dental treatment.The dentist he had been with had stopped treating NHS clients and he had not been able to find another.We eventually had to go to Hull,25 miles away.They took tooth out. Thursday appt at hospital,consultant confirmed lung cancer. Friday,tooth in upper jaw painful all night,managed to get emergency treatment,7 miles away.Another tooth out. He has been positive and I think,incredibly brave.He has lung function test on 31.01.18,then CT scan on 01.02.18.They said they will arrange MRI scan. Then they will decide what can be offered to him. We don't know any more yet.

Teddy, you are both in through the mill at the moment. Wishing you both well. You are being very brave as well.

Thank you.

Sorry to hear all the woes toothache and teeth out is bad enough but the diagnosis too It may explain a lot if his words Teddy Stay strong for you both I hope it’s treatable fo r bot( your sakes Thinking of you x

So fear of cancer was behind his harsh words. I hope they can offer him a treatment that works for him and that he is kinder towards you.

Best wishes to you and your husband, teddy. Look after each other.

I'm sorry to hear that Teddy; it could be that fear was behind it as newnanny said and being unable to talk about it in a rational way with fear and anger coming out against those nearest to him.

How very frightening for the both of you and probably a trying journey ahead. My thoughts are with you.

Just caught up with your news and wishing you strength to help you through the coming weeks. What a nightmare with his teeth as well as the cancer diagnosis. The experts really can do wonderful things now. Thinking of you both. x

Went for Lung Function test this a.m .They don't tell you anything. CT scan in the morning. MRI Friday,early morning. Thankyou all for your kind comments.

Difficult times for you both.
Wishing you both strength to get through the next few days.
I think at the moment it will be just a case of taking one day at a time.

Both of us awake in the night,don't want to miss alarm.
Twenty three miles away,half way there to MRI scan,08.15,phone call to say cancelled,problem with contrast medium. Appointment for Monday at 5.30pm.
More toothache,appt this evening at 7.30pm.Thank you Cherrytree ,as you say,one day at a time.

How awful, Teddy and no doubt the weekend will drag by. Nobody's fault but just not what you want to hear at the moment.

My DIL was waiting a week for tests to see if she is going through the menopause early (they want another baby) and on the day the tests were due back, she got a phone call to say that the test was no good. She was absolutely side-swiped at the thought of waiting another month for another test.

Thank you,I know there are so many people waiting for treatment and tests,we are lucky to get an appointment for Monday.

I'm so very sorry Teddy to read all that you and your husband are going through. Mr. S. and I are anxiously awaiting his biopsy next week and then the wait for the results.

Feeling the way I do at the moment I have nothing but admiration for your courage.

I wish both of you, the very best outcome.Thinking of you.

As we get through this weekend Teddy my thoughts will be for you and your DH.

Teddy, has he had a brain scan? Perhaps you could mention his behaviour to the doctors and ask if that would be arranged.

Last Saturday night,appt with dentist revealed infection in gum, where tooth had been extracted.Monday evening,two and a half hours in MRI scan.It said it would be over an hour.Tuesday morning,appt with cardiologist,he said one artery to heart is diseased and will need attention,he is not to do any work at all and not to get emotional.They will see him in a year. Waiting to hear about last weeks lung function test,CT scan and this weeks MRI. Next week, blood test for diabetes,then appt with diabetic nurse.Oh gosh.
