I was 3 months pregnant at the time of diagnosis with my baby girl Sophie, had her safely via C section on 7th Sept 2010 :-) 8lb 9oz she was the same weight as my son strangely :-) My Baby girl is now 1yrs old and is most beautiful :-) I also have a 12 year old son, Marcus Hogan....who is a very handsome young man, and loves his baby sista loads x :-) I am now married to my beloved Gareth Parfitt who treats me like a princess!! :-D I have 4 Brothers and 2 sisters....but back in 2005 one of my brothers died (Alan) he was 22/23 years old at the time....cant remember which :-/ memory not very good!! he commited suicide on the Train tracks in Yate due to many things, including drug abuse and our Father dying of Cancer 3 months prior. :-( My Dad lost his battle to Melenoma, cancer of the skin, which then led to his liver, brain (lost his eye), then eventually a clot in his leg.

Update 9th Nov 2011
Not posted for a while....... Been resting lots as I've felt really run down and have got a sinus infection.
Not been coping well with my hair loss, I look in the mirror and I don't see me looking back.
Some hair growth is coming back but not all, very patchy :-(
The worst time for me is when I wake up, I don't remember what I've been through, go to put my hands through my hair like I'd used to, and I'm touching a bald head. :-(
I really don't know how I'm getting through this, but some how I am.
You don't realise how much strength you have until it happens to you or someone close to you.
I'm so lucky to have my Husband and children, All I've ever wanted in life is to have my own family, (a boy and a girl) and to be happily married :-) and I have that! :-) To see them smile is what keeps me going xxx

RT....
Yesterdaywas my first Radiotheropy treatment. I got rather emotional in the morning, couldn't stop crying :-(
My big Sis took me, along with my hubby and son Marcus, My sis waited in car as parking was rubbish :-/ Didn't wait too long to be called in and I asked if my partner and Marcus could come in to see me have my mask put on and a little chat, signing etc.....Then they waited outside for me. Laying there with my mask on and the sound of this machine going around my head, which sounded like a robot!! was very strange and very surreal.....just kept thinking of my Dad and how i couldn't believe this was happening! :-( It was like i could feel the beams going into my head....strange!!.....It didn't help me banging my head on my sista's car b4 treatment......which strangely enough my Dad did the same thing on his first day of treatment!!!! My Sista told me, as she took Dad to his appointments........When appointment had finished my head was still hurting, but we all went to see my sista's new house :-) well nice it was......got home after a few hours at hers, feeling well tired.....went for a very long nap!!........oh well, same again today...and for the next 6 weeks.

Well, I'm still here!!! My op went ok, but, not all tumour was removed. I had left side paralysis but has slowly been coming back, I can now walk and have more movement in my left arm...which will eventually come back as i'm told by my consultant. I got home yesterday after a 13 days stay in frenchay hospital. I will shortly be putting up pics...but, beware as a bit grusesome........I'm due to start Rt and maybe chemo for 6 weeks every day very soon.
