My sister has finally been told that she is dyeing from Peritoneal Mesothelioma. she has been so strong and has fought this thing all the way. she had the major op in Sydney and came home. she was never well but still fought the battle fought for as long as she could. she has to make a decision to have another op and more Chemo but it’s not going to save her life. she is totally devastated. All her life she has been strong until the last few months and we can see she is struggling with trying to keep warm, keep food down and just stay focused on the road ahead.

so where do i start? well this week my mum told me she hated me, my boyfriend told me to snap out of my "sooky" mood (ive got depression) and my friends have all deserted me.. im struggling to go to work as it is.. i feel so upset, as ive supported my boyfriend thru his cancer journey for one year, and continue to do so.. its almost like he cant take me having a rough time.. i feel like i want to run away and never come back! my family who i still live at home with, are no where near as supportive as id want them to b.. im feeling very lonely and sad :'(

Hi all, My 21 year old neighbour and 2 of his mates are running from Melbourne to Sydney for the Mcgrath foundation. Their actions, I believe, are inspirational and perhaps make us look a little differently at young people. I thought that I would bring it to the attention of those here who are all personally affected in some way. Samex

I have 2 kids. A sixteen year old daughter and thirteen year old son. I know it is so hard on both of them watching me go through this battle and knowing that it may not have a good outcome. If I could take away their pain I would.

so last night mum was so sick that we had to take her to the hospital, poor thing was so sick, today we managed to work out which nausea medication makes her feel better, downside and upside is its a injection, i have well had a massive fear of needles, today i was shown how to give mum her medication, i am PROUD to say i gave her her first one tonioght!!! yay for me.....hopefully i can see some improvement in her overnight starting to make me sad watching her this way!!! xx hope u r all well
