    I hope everything is ok.  Beth finished treatment 6 weeks ago.  Has scans on Thursday.  Radio and chemo tablets were tough on her.  Just hope and pray the tumour has shrunk.  How are you doing? I have been struggling with everything.  Recently found out a good friend of mine has breast cancer, another friend a brain tumour.  All very scary xx

    Morning yeah things have settled down now thankyou , bless her please let me know how scans go , will she have surgery then to remove it ? I'm ok back at work full time bowels not too bad but not back to normal but the nurse said this could be my new normal and it is doable just different , I also had a friend from work had breast cancer then brain cancer and passed away at 54 ! Very scary just don't know what's around the corner hope your friends are ok , send my love to Beth it's a scary time for her but hopefully there's an end to this soon xxx
