Well for those that know me, you'll know my mum lost her very couragous battle with lung and bone cancer on Saturday morning between 0700-0800. Mum was only 61 yrs young. Now I know Im not normally the type that writes on here that often as i wear my conversation and emotions on my sleeve but got lots to express and am in a writing mood.
Here goes..........
Mum was diagnosed with Lung cancer (primary) and bone cancer(secondary) on May 5th 2004. At the time the Doctors and specialists in all thier ultimate wisdom, just came out and said u got 6 months to go. Nice news , NO WAY.
For anyone that has lost loved ones from the dreaded BIG C you will know how horrible and dibilitating it can be, you feel so bloody helpless. For me that was the worst thing knowing my mum was dying a little bit more, each day and not being able to do a thing about it.
Over the 13 months, thats right 13 months my mum lasted she went through such a massive rollercoaster ride and during this time she never gave in she always thought of the future and wasnt going to let cancer beat her. It was only in the last4 days of the illness that her body really started to slow down and she couldnt do anything hardly for her self. Seeing my mum lying there in bed not being able to breath properly drink, eat or even talk is the most horrible thing imaginable and I hope none of you ever have to experience a loved one suffering like that.
Even though its a massive shock to mark,btw who has been the most fuking amazing friend, listener, councellor and most importantly partner with putting up with my emotional rollercoaster as well as mums andadrians and always and i mean ALWAYS being 100% when we were ready to give up hope he would cheer all of us up. MARK my beautiful MAN THANKYOU SO MUCH YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ADRIAN MUM AND I, We love you very much.
Everyone else that has been there through this journey or ordeal depends on how u look at it THANKS, too many people to thank you all know who you are and adi, mark and i and above all our wonderful appreciated it.
Anyway that will do for now chat soon all
thanks luv ya guts

well been a while you say, thats right yes it has but u know sum people write, others procrastinate i am the latter defintely one for expressing ones self in person. Well great weekend thus far still awake after an awesome night with good friends, good beer and music etc.
The day started saturday with me with a minor hangover...damn alcohmohol hehehehhe...BUT IT TASTES SO GOOD :)
Then had the second week of cricket which i daresay....WE WON we beat the team we had played 4 weeks previous in the one day cricket final, You think they would have come out with a score to settle......HOW WRONG WE WERE we bowled them out for 134 and we were all out for 225 this week. WOO HOO. The funniest thing being is that next week in the semi finals we are playing them again......DAMN 4 weeks in a row do u think by now they'll realise im a hack NA probably not. I did make 28 runs yesterday.... damn running 3's bloody hammies hurting.
Sat night saw us go to duncan and gems for dinner which was absolutely scrumdidlie-umptious. So proud of Gemmas trip to Sri Lanka to help build a new school in the tsunami affected region ....GO GIRL U ROCK Hopefully Duncan and I can get off our ring bits and tile the laundry b4 gem comes back.
Sunday saw us chill out round house then in the arvo went to a fundraising event for RFDS (royal flying doctor service)
They were the wonderful people that flew marks mum and dad down after the horrendous accident in which marks mum, linda was driving. Thanks to them marks mum is getting back to her usual self after quite sum time. It has been quite a long road with the horrible injuries sustained. This fundraiser was at Rosemary and Ian's place in churchlands and i must say it was brilliant we raised quite a bit of bling for RFDS go us all WOO HOO
After the fundraiser came home briefly fed mum, as she is living with mark and i for those that dont know :), Then went to eurobar with sum friends, was awesome catching up with sum mates i aint seen in ages.
Then we caught up with all the crew from South Perth and had some serious maxi relaxy time with them.
Love seeing all these guys and girls and chuffed that lately have been seeing more of them, markie and i have missed them all heaps. YOU KNOW WHO U R LOL
After last nights events we dropped sexy dan home and then decided to go for a spa and swim at the gym, when we got there saw our instructor sandra gee shes awesome told her we had a brilliant night and hadnt slept yet she was like cool.
then mark suggested we go to kings park for a walk which was totally awesome we live in such a majestic part of the world love it
Then to top that off mark brought along in the car NIN album Fragile WOW so brilliant great start to the day i reckon spending a lovely morning with my man swimming and then walking was awesome GEE HE ROCKS MY WORLD :)

Morning all,
yes shock horror 2 comments on live journal in the space of a week, world first for Gordo hehehehe. Anyways 0900 Perth time this morning mum is getting a broncialoptomy, which in short means they put a camera down her throat and take pics of her lungs, pridominately the right being the one with the growth on it. Mark and I went and saw mum.
her name is Meg if anyone wants to know,just quickly history behind her name goes like this MEG is short for her maiden name Mary Emily Gordon, thus were i get my christian name from as in scottish history apparently were my mums from its tradition for one of the siblings , males more so to follow the family name somewhere in there name being christian or middle name.
Back to story........ they will take pics of area and apparently which mum didnt know till yesterday they are also going to conduct the biopsy, if possible on the lung, which means they will take a piece of the bad lung off and conduct tests to see if the cancer is aggressive or benign, apoligies if i spelt benign wrong. :)
I also went and bought mum a new set of pyjamas for hospital, she loves them she looks like a little japanese girl in her silk outfit lol.
I had lots of awkward looks wen i was in the ladies underwear and nightware area looking for stuff for mum... i also got a few smiles too hehehehhee.
I was more positive yesterday than i have been so far during this journey which is good i suppose. my brother adrian isnt as positive... probably cause he is on the other side of australia....alone and consideriing wat happened to dad previously in same hospital. also having a biopsy and he died of a massive stroke after internal bleeding occured.
I know niether of these are related but i must agree i had that in my mind set in regards to this info as does mum and adrian.
I know positive thoughts are the only thing thats going to get us all through, its worked b4 and it can work again.
ps....mark and i are getting a new car yippee. Peaugot 306 yummy car
chat soon Gordie |

Well i know groovers its bin a while for that sorry.. im not big with this and i should be cos i know its good therapy to release emotions sumtimes whether bi talking or writing. My good mate Gav who mark and i think the world of is a bit of a writer and reckons it does him the world of good. Im going to endevour to write more.. i need too :)
anyways lately new job is wicked love it too bits for those that know me know im very passionate bout music and movies and ive got the best of both worlds with mi new job YIPPEE.
but unfortunately life aint all plain sailing at present got some horrible news on friday that mum has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Words like shocked, stunned, disbelief.......it only feels like yesterday that my dad died after a biopsy in same hospital. Scary thing mums in same ward as dad was but other end of the floor freaks mum, my bro and I out but were all focused on fighting this bad news with humour, laughter and positve thoughts . Poor Adrian , my brother who is in the Navy in NSW feels so alone not having mum or I round him wen he found out about this. He is considering coming over for a couple of weeks to help me out round our house. I hope he does i miss my bro soooooooooooo much , we used to be so close but unfortunately his fiance has changed all that.
Anyway bak to mum this thing with her bak started b4 chrissie wen she started complaining about bak pain.. the 1st doctor took an x ray of the lower back and said u might have a small fracture of the lower vertabrae heres pain killers and rest..... after 1 month hasnt got better less sleep etc and pain has moved up back still same thing taking time to heal more pain killers etc etc etc.....then 3 weeks ago pain has moved up back and now finding it hard to breath goes back to doctor....now x rays taken more pain killers given and told to rest... by this stage mum is getting mighty pissed orf as is me and my bro because no one knows wat the fuk is going on.
Then on Thursday 4th doctor by this stage and over 4 months later doctor rquests a CT scan of the chest and lower back....... mum nervous as is rest of family and friends. Then the news we were dreading on Friday morning mum has lung cancer.... forget about the fact mum is a heavy smoker .... the fact being the fuking doctors are only interested in giving u drugs and pushing u out the door.... as you can gather im a little angry but hey we will get through it as i know mum will...gtg have shower chat later xxxxxxxxx |

Morning all, i know its bin ages since ive checked or even written for that matter my live journal, sorry :( Well Good Friday eve finished work at 9pm came home and prepared for a bender, mark myself and a select few of our good mates decided to pill as we hadnt done it for ages, was awesome was a white sumthing.....hehehehehehe spot the guy who has no fuking idea of pill names was awesome though i must say. Long over due I needed it dont know bout mark he seemed too. Felt really funny this morning waking up after a pill experience and not having Mark next to me, thought he would cum home but anyways u get that.Probably was having too good of a time. as u do when pilling I find it very flattering wen people last night were coming up to me and saying u and mark rock , we want that , blah, blah blah etc......... i dont take compliments that easily, as those that know me really well know. Im learning too thou. Thank goodness mark and i arent scene queens, i couldnt handle that scene all the time its soo fucking same old same, there is no variety in perth and too small, everyone knows everyone or has done everyone its quite scary hey. I can understand why there are alot of gay guys in perth that shy away from the clubs and pubs. I much prefer dinners and entertaining at friends and families houses, much more real me thinks Maybe im just freaking out but it really scared me that mark hasnt come home yet i know he will be alright, but we always tell each other wats going on....fuk damn drugs im freaking out i hate that bout pills. i know he will be ok had to make do with a cute little teddy bear as sleeping companion instead of markie poo's, at least the bear doesnt snore or hog the covers hehehehhe(dig at mark only kidding bub) The bear is hairier than u too he needs a trim hehehehehe Got a new job starting next sat with Ezy DVD really looking forward too it , no more audiocom yippee choi chat later gordo xx :) |

[Feb. 25th, 2004|03:33 pm] |
Hello good people, me back online, i know I havent done this for ages i go through fits and spurts. Im on holidays at present with Marky Mark doing up my house in the burbs, god knows it needed it. very very run down. Its amazing how great a little TLC and a coat of paint can improve a house's plight I'll attach pics to show you all.
Its great not being at work, to be perfectly honest If I didnt have to go back It wouldnt concern me at all. But I need the money as we all do. Went and saw One Perfect day yesterday. Its a movie about ones journey into music and life. Great soundtrack with 2 tracks by Lamb, God Mark got really emotional when Gorecki was played at a major point in the movie, i wont give away any secrets. I absoultely love his passion to Lamb and Music in generally it definetely floats my boat hehehehe.
Rest assured I will make more of a valid effort to write from now on as I know it is good for me too.
Luv ewes all

Good morning good afternoon and good evening,

She is getting all new teeth on top of mouth and a plate for bottom she is pretty excited as she has a beautiful smile, but im biased.
We have a financial situation at present between mum, my bro adrian and I, he wont help with anything anymore financially so im stuck paying for fucking everything whick sux as my man mark and i are trying to pay for this and that. We will manage we have the power lol.
Well after helping mum i went and bought a soccer top in welshpool, a suburb in perth WA were I live. $25 for a real madrid soccer top, its an original too....im excited hehehehehhe
then met up with my sexyman for lunch in the city and then went and caught up with my old work colleagues at the radio statin i used to work at, and i was offered my old job back by the general manager hehehe now that was funny, then went home gardened cleaned the house and listened to sum quality tunes.
For those of you that dont know the band something for kate is fucking awesome aussie band quite dark with feeling.
Anyway back to the work thing im in a spot of bother whether i stay in my current job and have emotional ups and downs and cant play cricket, which im good at, modest too and a leo lol!!!!! or look for another job and start from scratch, i really dont know right now hey, any ideas let me know. xx sleep well everyone chat soon xxxx |

Well for those of you that know me im Gordon the cuddly hairy bear so in love and attracted to marky marky :) my little cub...hehehhe.
I have been meaning to start my live journal for a very very long time but scared of what i might uncover in regards to my emotions, fear, dreams and stuff.
My dad died just recently and i must say it has been an emotional journey dealing with everything that comes with the healing process.
Mark my roomy and sexy man has been the most supportive and pillar of strength during all of this I cant thank him enough. It always helps to have good friends that you know are there for you regardless of the goodtimes or badtimes etc.....there the REAL friends. :)
My brother Adrian who is in the Royal Australian Navy and based in a seaside town called Ballnarying. isnt dealing witht eh whole thing very well and his fiance hasnt been much support but thats life if hes happy....right.
Mum shes a mess but says shes ok typical she has always bin the strong one like me just the way it is sumtimes, has always bin that way
anyways time for bed i look forward to adding more tomorrow after a good nite sleep. In our new bed yippee.
This whole journal thing is a big step for me it has taken fucking ages, maggie an mark have bin constant reminders i should pull my finger out of my butt. btw mark i love u vvv much u are the earth moon stars and solar system bub xxx |
