Just wanted to say how much I miss my friend Ivanka and my Mum. My Mum died in 2014 of colon cancer. She was 56 years old. Ivanka died in 2016, she was only 31 of tge very sane diagnosis like my Mum:((. I think of them every day. Both were so young. If there is anyone who lost their friends or family to cancer, you are not alone. Myself, I am a cancer survivor. So next time you hear this diagnosis you know someone made it so far... Love to all at Christmas time xxx

    Hi Silversand,

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum and your friend, Ivanka.

    Like you, I have lost both of my parents and several relatives and close friends to cancer and have had 2 bouts of breast cancer myself in the past 9 years.

    I am glad to hear that you are a cancer survivor and I'm sure that this will inspire some of the people on this site to hear that you have made it this far.

    I hope that you have many years ahead of you still.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
