Hi Emma

Sorry the hospital are trying to throw your Mum out. But am sure they can't just throw your Mum out, they must have a duty of care as your Mum is in their care it should be their duty and am sure the wouldn't want the press to know that they are throwing a Terminally Ill Lady out of her bed when she has all these problems.

It must…[Read more]

Hi All,

I know these spam posts are a nuisance.but all we need to do is to go into a subject heading and bump up the previous message… Just write 'bump' and post.

A couple of bumps each from the first few on board and we will have our board back and it will look more welcoming as well.

Just an idea.

Hi Tebebe,

As CDT was my first/Frontline treatment I didn't know what to expect by way of side-effects. It wasn't pleasant with almost exactly the same effects as you describe… but neither was it overwhelming or crippling. I persevered because I knew I had no choice and there was a very good chance that it was doing me some good. It was.…[Read more]

Well done you Joe,
