Hi Min
Sorry that Peter is feeling so poorly and hope he starts to feel better soon. Really glad to hear that the dreaded sciatica has gone. Well done your son!! I know what you mean about making plans – I really hope that all goes well and you will be able to celebrate. 60 and 40 years married. Congratulations.
Love Jean xx

Dear Sarah
I am so sorry to hear the way Gordon's family is treating him and you. It must be so hard for you to watch and listen and to hold your tongue. You must be a strong person as I don't know what I would do if I did not have the family's support.
I hope Gordon starts to feel better soon and that at some stage soon his family "wakes"…[Read more]

Dear Gaye
I echo what Min and Sarah has written. I think you are very brave and I know your posts have helped many. Sarah, I was like you when Frank was diagnosed – how am I going to cope – and what will I do without him. To a certain extent, I think I am still in denial. Frank was diagnosed with SMM in Sept 2006 – no treatment – but I…[Read more]
