About Northernbird

Hi, I'm a 45 yr old married sheep farmer and mother of 3. The youngest, 8, is the only child still at home. My 48 yr old policeman husband who is due to retire in 3 yrs, has just been diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma and secondary bone cancer. To say the bottom has dropped out of our world is an understatement! I have joined the forum, well I'm not really sure why I joined, but it seemed like a good idea , so far it has been.

UPDATE

Im now a 55yr old widowed farmer with a partner just diagnosed with malignant melanoma. I must have been a wrong un in a previous life
