  • Hiya Psatch.  Staying positive isn't easy when you are going through a health scare is it?  No matter how much we tell ourselves "not to worry"  it is human nature to look on the bleak side of things.  What I can tell you is that there are many illnesses that mimic the signs of cancer, so please bear that in mind.  Good luck and hoping all turns out well for you.  

  • Thankyou, my mood is so up and down right now ,I hope you are well

  • Thank you Psatch, I have my up and down days.  Back in November 2022 I was told that I was terminal.........that was quite a punch in the gut I can tell you!  But once the initial shock had worn off I found a strength that I honestly never knew I possessed.  It has made me realise how precious life is and to enjoy every moment while we can.  I have not given up hope........I might get the miracle I have been praying for.  Where there is life there is hope, that's my motto, and I absolutely believe it.  Take care mate, I wish you well, and keep us informed of your health situation, xx
