  • Hi

    its awful isn't it... I'm going through similar and can't offer much advice I'm afraid other than cherish each day and only plan for the day ahead. My partner was fit and healthy and was diagnosed terminal with little signs or symptoms 3 weeks ago.... last week I was told we have days rather than weeks left so I haven't had time to process this at all. 

    My thoughts are with you

  • hello Alison,

    Thank yo for your supportive  response.

    On returning home , we sat together, ate  mixed Nuts, Ice Cream, Tomato Soup, Toast, Yoghurt and Mandarins. All mixed up without order. Watched TV  Downton Abbey and telephoned family of 5 Children.

    met with the neighbours, atemore nuts and forgot the pressing need to repair dangerous decking.

    "Let it fall into the Stream"

    We have each other and with Loving care we shall come through whatever the future holds.

    One smile, loving words, a Hug and the Sunbeams left our hearts.

    Having had Pancreatitis, Diabetes, Bowel Cancer, Spinal Surgery, venous Thrombosis and now we are facing a terminal Diagnosis, Expressing supportive and  emotional love is what matters.

    I have order a special surprise, a beautiful skirt by Louisa Spangoli from Milan which she has looked at!

    Love to all. Gordon XXX.
