Cancer Chat online community

Hello Didoodah,

I know what it is like to be lonely for companionship.  It is hard enough for me and I am well, it must be much harder when you have these health problems to deal with also.  

Are you well enough to join any social groups in your area, or some kind of shared interest group.Believe me I know how difficult it can be just finding like minded people but I do worry that you may come across someone who doesn't have your best interests at heart.  On the other hand there are many lovely people in the world and you may meet someone who would love to have a special friend themselves.   I hope it happens soon, you never know someone may be reading this now who is looking for something similar. 

Take care, be careful in who you meet and lots of good luck.

Bonjour mon amie, comment allez vous?

Ok so that's about the extent of my French I'm afraid - and I apologise for the spelling.......I could probably ask if you sell stamps, but I'll keep that up my sleeve should it ever crop up in conversation, but that truly will be the total extent of my language skills.

So sorry to hear about your diagnosis, and it's a pity you don't live a bit further north, like Scotland, however I hope to travel to London next month to visit my step-kids and if that's the case and you fancy a wee lunch/coffee/slow daunder (that's like a wee walk) round the shops I'll give you a message and tell you my dates.

Don't be a stranger, i know how difficult it must be to meet people to go out with, but let us be your cyber support, there will be a few along soon who will reply to you I'm sure.  In the meantime come back for a chat anytime, I'm usually around during the day but there's a few who trawl the corridors covering the nightshift.

take care and hopefully speak soon

Bonsoir...comment apellez-vous, mon amie? Didoodah?

That's about all the French I can come up with just now, you'll be pleased to know but moderator Lucie could chat away in your nother tongue if you're missing it!

You may have done this already but I was thinking if you asked the moderators to enable private messaging you and Susan could make arrangements without us all turning up at your son's graduation or at Susan's house for tea! You must definitely go to his graduation, especially as you say you have been single for a long time and can therefore take much of the credit for raising him so well! I raised my son alone and found his very emotional...

I know what you mean about changes of mood. Sometimes we feel better able to deal with things than others and an incurable cancer can be a bit of a conversation stopper when you're trying to make new friends in the 'real world'!

You pitch up at my house anytime for tea Angel, any time at all, you'll be very welcome.  Better wait till the nicer weather cos it's freezing up here just now, the nice weather when my garden is a bit nicer to and we could sit in the garden and have tea, served by topless hunks of course, then when it gets colder we'll sit by the log burner and keep ourselves toastie and warm wrapped in fleece throws eating pizza and drinking wine......I did that last year with David cos I didn't want to come indoors and it was getting dark and cold but I still wanted to be outside so that's what we did, it was lovely too.

Have I tempted you to visit then?

Hope all is well with you a the moment, how are you getting on?

Speak soon

And the icing on the cake being the topless hunky waiters of course.

This is turning into quite a party, good job I have a big garden

Hi

just sending this message to the top of the pile again as we've not heard from you for a  while and I'm wondering if you're doing ok, please come back and tell us how you're doing?

We might only be in the cyber world but there is friendship here if you want it.

Hope you are well
