Hi all,

Things not too good in the Lanzo household at the moment. W very upset cos FIL got back the full analysis of his hospital test results. Scans found cancer cells in one lung and a nearby gland, both of which will have to be removed. Doctors not sure if this is a return of the cancer from 2003 or if it is something new, either way it's not a nice situation to be in. Bad news just when you don't need it.

W is gonna move back with her parents for a couple of weeks, we planned to do this anyway while we were renovating the house, but W also wants to be there to offer some comfort.

It's strange how life and M's are full of ups and downs. Last night while we were in bed W received a text from hef b/f asking her to call for a chat. W just turned to me and said I'm not in the mood for any of that, I just want to be here with you, and she held onto my arm tightly. It's been quite an emotional day for her and she dropped off to sleep quite quickly after that.

I hope I don't have to bring her anymore bad news, with our finances and my health, but I am holding up at the moment, I think I need to show strength through these difficult times ahead. Too be honest when W has been talking to me today I pretty much didn't know what to say at times, but one of the basic DB principles came into play and that was to just listen. Not much more I could do other than offer big hugs. I think she wants me around her, and as I've said to her on many occasions life is full of challenges, and this is just one of them, and we're gonna tackle it together.

It's a tough old world at the moment.
