  • HI Littlesue, 

    Welcome to the forum although we're sorry for the reason it has brought you here.

    Now that I've replied your thread has moved to the top of our forum and soon our lovely, supportive members should be along to offer their insight and share their experiences with you.

    And I love your teddy, he looks adorable! How long have you had him and how did he get the name cosgrove? Such a great name for a teddy!

    Best Wishes,

  • Hi there Littlesue, I had to chuckle when I saw your teddy bear, and I just love his name. I also would like to know how you came up with that name? About your cancer, I must admit I have never heard of that type of cancer and perhaps I should look it up. Having said that, if you're comfortable telling me about it and how it affects your life, that would be fine too. I think all of us on here with cancer can relate to the feelings you had at first diagnosis, so you're not alone on that one. You have come to the right place though because the people on here are very caring and supportive and you will find that as time goes on. I hope you will feel comfortable in sharing your experiences with others here as you also read and respond to our postings. I wish you well with your ongoing planned treatment and look forward to hearing from you again.

    Take care.
