    Hi BigAl,

    I see that you are fairly new to the forum, so I wish you a very warm welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I am amazed that you can think of others on this site when I read about how much you have had to endure yourself. Like you, I have lost both parents and many family and friends to cancer and, have had 2 bouts of breast cancer myself in the past 8 years.

    I am so sorry to hear about your daughter’s stroke and the chest infection that has her hospitalized at present. What ages are your grandson’s? My hubby had a quadruple by-pass, followed by pneumonia and a stroke many years ago. We had 2 teenage children at the time. He hasn’t worked since. It hasn’t always been easy, but we’re all still here and doing reasonably well.

    I am glad to see that you are doing your best, despite the effects of your COPD and, hope that you continue to keep well. I am in awe of you when you say that you take no medication – I take so much that I rattle when I walk, but, heigh-ho, I’m still here too.

    Take care of yourself.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine
