Like some of you say you have been planning your funerals Rosemary did too so thats given us guidance , Im doing ok so far but I think a part of me will go with Rosemary I like some of Angelinthemakings ideas and I love reading whats going through that latest young mans mind cant bring his name to mind , it was good to see his little boy on film , I hope if things get too difficult some times for him he asks his wife to update us , Ive been one of his readers that dont say nothing hes a great insperation though

Hi mate,

I don't know the ins and outs of your mams illness but I can tell you that I have just finished 6 cycles of chemo for Non Hodkgins Lymphoma (difuse large B cell). I guess I was quite lucky as they diagnosed me pretty quick. Chemo was no picnic bruv, however, mentally, you know it's saving your life! Just the fact that you are concerned for your mam will mean so much to her (the support from my fiancee is what kept me going) She won't have anything to worry about as long as she's got your support mate.

Ramana,

you are so wrong.

Rest in Peace Rosemary,

Brenda, you are so brave to share your issues,

I hope you don't think me forward, but knowing there are caring people like yourself restores my faith in human nature. God bless you.

I responded to Crying 24.7 November 2010. Firstly how are you now ? I was told the survival rate is very high so I hope you have done well.

I had also mentioned that I had lung cancer in 2010. It took a long time before I could walk more than 50 yards without becoming totally breathless. I never ever played golf again but a year later returned to playing bowls, outdoors mainly. An indoor exercise bike and regularly out with my wife and the dog. Many times I just stayed in the car but if the wind was light I persevered. Today I am used to never being able to breathe life average Joe but am very happy to be able to lead a fairly normal life.

Every day I think back and feel lucky. I feel for anyone going through the rigours of lung cancer.
