Hi There Teacher Mum
Good to get your posting and to read your responses to what life throws at us. In spite of all the other stuff that goes on, on this site and elsewhere, you can still feel kicked in the guts now and then. Just before Christmas I attended the funeral of a lovely lady who had been such a campaigner on behalf of those affected by cancer. Cancer finally caught up with her, two years after it was expected. Two good years with good quality of life. Last Friday I attended another funeral - a friend who was just so active, diagnosed with liver cancer and dead three weeks later. Two days ago another friend 'phoned me asking for some help. Six weeks ago she was given "No evaluable disease' status following a rare cancer of the small intestine. She was taking a break from chemo and went in for repair of a hernia. They discovered a whole lot of cancer that was not there six weeks ago, including ascites! It really takes it out of you!
So congratulations on what you are doing and have real laugh at the 'look good feel good' program with your shaved head and hyster scar.
Cheers
Sailor
A strong nor’-wester ’s blowing, Bill!
Hark! don’t ye hear it roar now?
Lord help ’em, how I pities them
Unhappy folks on shore now!
