Day -4
A bit of a shitty day to be perfectly blunt. Nothing to do with chemo... that's me half way through that now... I've just been really really down. I blame some of it on my steroid downer which would have started this morning but most of it is just plain old home sickness. Missing the girls, my bed, the familiar smells and even the dogs. The slightest thing would start my eyes welling up; especially looking at pictures of the girls.
Then just when I think I've composed myself I read Kellys last comment in my previous post and I'm in floods for 10 minutes! Ridiculous!
How can people like Kelly, Chris, Vicky, Susan, Susie, Sim and everyone else that I HAVE NEVER MET show such support and compassion for me and Veronica?
You all make me feel very small and humbled.

ME!!
My journey through the hell of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The next person to tell me that it "isn't a real cancer" will get a good kicking.
ME!!

HANG IN THERE Wullie - brighter days are ahead when all this HL crap will be behind you. You're kicking it's ass right now and will be the winner in the end.
Wish we weren't separated by so many miles and a huge ocean - I'd be there in a sec to keep you company...I'm sure Kelly would love to come and play games too..not just on line(cards and games - my favorite pass times).
Take good care of yourself - be sure you are getting your walks in a couple of times a day.
Veronica - hope all is going well at home with you and the girls. Keep your chins up - the family will be home together soon.
Susan
Awwww, today's a teary day for both of us, it's totally okay! I'm hoping you're feeling better now, actually, you're probably sleeping by now :) Good job on the song change!
You are allowed to be down. You're a stranger in a strange land, so to speak.
But tomorrow is a new day. There are always brighter tomorrows. You have people praying for you all over the place! And soon, all of this will just be a bad, surreal memory.
Just a little cancer anecdote from the trenches - Summer in Miami is extremely warm & very humid. This is my first "summer of the scarf". As the sweat drips down from my head, it smears my drawn-on eyebrows & my 2 mascaraed eyelashes. I guess it's just a girl thing, but I've really never felt so attractive.
Susie
Thinking of you Wullie, look a Chris' entry on his blog and try not to smile, don't you just love Borat, I tried to cut and paste a quote from the film for him, had a good laugh looking at them but decided better of it!
bye for now

How many footprints in the sand? You have all the support and love that you need from people you have and have not met - yet. All with you all of the way.
Keep that pecker up
Chris
Hope your days get better. Good days are soon to come and sunshine in windows of new rooms :) OH and I think it was just the day too, along with Kelly tears, I was having tear fits alot yesterday and today. Take care, stay away from the roaches!!

Hi Wullie -
It's my daily check in!! I hope you're doing well and hopefully you're in a new fancy, CLEAN room today! Deportation went well yesterday, and I took my bandage off today, and it doesn't look that bad, hooray!! :) Talk soon!
Kelly
Isn't is amazing how cancer can bond you to anyone -- even people miles and miles away? It's really a gift, but I don't have to be telling you that you already realize it.
We're all rooting for you from the board. I'm glad these last few days are somewhat peaceful, enjoy yourself dear.
All my Love,
Bekah
