  • Awful news. You have my deepest sympathy. xx Harry

  • Hi there ... cancer knows no bounds ..., but we all know we could be there one day with that sinario ... but there's a few on here had that diagnosis, and still pushing those diagnosis and statistics along the road, and still hanging in there ... jolomines had a couple of cancers popping up .. and she's still in the ring, throwing punch for punch ... 

    So if it was me with secondaries l would do things I always wanted to do ..pack a lifetime in each new day, week , month or years ... cancer wants you to give in, lay down and wait ... I'm all for taking each day by the short and curlies ... find something that makes me smile every day (that's my goal now) and with my last breath, I'll be sticking two fingers up to cancer ...

    No one knows what tomorrow brings ... any one could be taken suddenly ... my mum was fine one Monday morning... she was gone by 5.20 that day with massive heart attack  ... but she'd packed, love, laughter, and kindness to others every day of her life ... 

    So I'm sending you a great big hug from one cancer lady to another ... so many have empathy for cancer, but i think untill you live it, you never quite get it ... thats why its so good on here ... we get it ...wer always here, when you feel low, or want to scream at life... we all have them days ... or if you just want a chat ... about anything ... so take care... there's lots here, who will lend you a hand or give you a vertual hug ...  Chrissie
