Hi Roz

Please try and push for a bereavement councelor I had a friend at work who did this on a voluntary basis. From what I could make out she was trained to allow people to be really angry and let their feelings out and move on with their grief.

I can remember being so angry with my dad when he left me (died) and then feeling so guilty…[Read more]

Hi Amelie
The question,is a hard one,as a carer you will worry about it,is he doing to much?? but if he was at home would he be doing to much?,and the answer lies within his nature,his body his decision.
Slim my husband,the minute he starts to feel better,he goes over the top,thinks he can do every thing,you end up nagging,not helpful.
So now I…[Read more]

I am sure that I spelt frivalous wrong but I am determined not to look in my wonderful new dictionary. I'll just keep on sniffing it:-)

Am I not a bit too old to get an addiction:-S sniffing stuff cannot be good for you:-)

Dear Min

I am so pleased that Peter's service went well (silly thing to say but I hope you know what I mean).

Please don't be silent on this site. I, for one, feel that I have made friends on here and if you drop out it will be like a friend not being there with a friendly word.

Much love Gill xxxx

Hi Ali

I know that I have looked at a number of American sites and it seems that they carry out far more Allos than here. They do seem very successful if they are a strong match. (Stephen is an only child so no chance there)

He is on his second auto. As far as I can understand (and believe me, although not stupid, I do find it hard to get my…[Read more]

Dear Min

I thought long and hard before posting the link. I would have hated to have caused you more pain on top of what you are going through.

It was Stephen (after I showed him the video clip)that said I should post it and he believed that you, Min (even if you had had no idea about NS beforehand) would be glad to make sure that others are…[Read more]

I think we should all grow old TERRIBLY disgracefully

hi Gill
Thank you for bringing the video to are attention,it is exactly what is needed,It is making that call is the hard one,sometimes as in Slims case there was no temperture,and his insistence that I was fussing,even having a doctor out,who looking back had know idea,!!!!

Staff told me later what we went through should not have happened.

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for all that information,have asked about pet scan today,nurse said she would inform consultant,thought it was a good idea,the consultant is very much a bloods man,I get the impression he works purely on results.
Slim has tumour on spine,plus lesions on shoulder blades and skull,they have a pet scan at the hospital !!! so…[Read more]
