Colin The reason scrambled eggs became my favourite was ,My body craved that meal ,at times I still do,in talking with a number other cancer sufferers, some also craved scrambled eggs possibly my body wanted the protein and I was able to enjoy and keep down ,I have always tried to listen to my body. I was very lucky to become friends with a very special lady on this forum who was an inspiring person ,she had the same cancer I had but was not as fortunate with her outcome,she spent the remainder of her life educating and helping some in the medical profession on how to better help Cancer sufferers. She now has a Nursing program named after her and her mother to help those diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. I wish you and your aunts all the best as you look after them at this trying time in life. kj A

Hard question to answer about staying positive. I was surrounded by love and friendship which helped keep my spirits up and I took it one day at a time ,I have been a positive person during life .I also used meditation to relax .I am just one of the lucky ones. Sorry I can't give a definitive answer,but by your caring for your aunts you are creating your own positives.
