What kind of man would lie to his own wife about having cancer?
2007-11-27 03:48:00
Do you tell everything to your partner? Or are you like me: when you have a bad day but your partner shows up all happy, do you join in his happiness? Or do you spoil the mood with the bad things that happened in your day? You would say: "gosh, it all depends actually"… That’s why I ...

Update about mom
2007-09-21 10:51:00
Seems when people reach a certain age, doctors love to perform surgery… Anyway, mom’s arm has undergone surgery about 5 weeks ago now. She still has the companionship of her 2 sisters who are retired nurses, but you can feel that the sisters want to continue their lives as well. So far it seems that mom’s ...
Pancreatic cancer survival
2007-09-14 09:48:00
What happens if pancreatic cancer treatment no longer works? Basically the doctors tend to go to their next patient and you are kind of left in the cold when it comes to the medical world: in stead of focusing on a cure, the focus will be on living with as little pain as possible. The ...

Hospital kicks mom out

When there are more beds than people, means somebody cannot get a bed.

Why cancer keeps a secret
2007-08-29 11:17:00
There is a taboo when it comes to cancer: as if you did something wrong and … gosh, what is more bad than having cancer that you wouldn’t go in the open with it? But there is another reason I noticed now since Mom is above the knife and recovering in hospital. Her sister is visiting ...

Cancer, palliative care and blogging for money
2007-07-04 06:34:00
If your loved one needs an ideal full time palliative care, that means the care taker should have his or her mind fully on the cancer patient and kind of forget about the rest of the world. Mom was definitely the ideal care taker, but she was not able to forget about the rest of ...

Mom is in terrible pain
2007-06-22 04:00:00
Mom’s previous pain in the shoulder is getting too much. Mom isn’t even able to grab a slice of bread and put it in her mouth herself. On top of that there is now the pain from mom’s hip or legs: probably due to arthritis and old age, or just because it has been overused ...

Mom needs to go to the hospital today to have a follow up on her painful shoulder. Now it is obvious there is a physical problem but also a psychological. Why?

What about mom?
2007-05-18 05:45:00
Mom was father’s care-taker and now father is no more: the big burden of taking care of father is gone. Yet also this adrenaline that keeps you awake 24hours on 24 and gives you the daily energy to take care of a palliative cancer patient is gone. No more adrenaline means mom starts feeling the pain. ...
When you love, you care!
2007-05-16 04:21:00
Why aren’t decision makers eradicating cancer? Because they don’t love people therefore don’t care. Let me tell you my cancer experience so far: Years ago my very best neighbour and friend died of lung cancer, yet it didn’t affect me much: people die don’t they? Father died of metastatic liver cancer and that had a huge impact ...

Cancer and Charity

It would sound obvious ...
Sleep, anger, cancer

Mom and dad were very angry when they first heard father had metastatic liver cancer. But as usual, father succeeded in toning down the angry faces. Father once told me: Eh, be patient! it’s me who is having this terrible cancer disease. And then I considered myself as the patient one… Yet it was not always ...

Palliative care: Sleep is good for you
2007-02-26 01:58:01
Mom was better after a long good rest of sleep. Father was the same: no big change in his secondary liver cancer, yet more active than yesterday. Fathers belly is getting as big as well: you know those pictures of kids in Africa that are skinny with a big belly… That’s what fathers’ cancer looks ...
Palliative care: keeping sane

Try to smell the flowers, like going in your garden and discover the first spring flowers… That’s what I do to set my mind away from the daily care of fathers’ secondary liver cancer. Each time I watch the flowers, I cry, yet it keeps me sane. If I pretend nothing is wrong, I can imagine ...

Palliative care is no room service
2007-02-15 01:44:07
