Hello Dfarmer...you sound like you're going through a very similar time to me!

Hello Rustie, I am so so sorry to hear about your mum and too soon after your first post. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I wish you all the best with your campaigning but it is sad that it has to be done ....it shouldn't be necessary!
Love and hugs, Jacqui

Dear lulu - I am so sorry to gear your sad news and I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday. I can't understand how you're feeling at the moment but I know I will be going through the same emotions sometime in the future as my wonderful mum was diagnosed in July but we're lucky she's still battling on an...

Hi Lulu - this is my first time writing on this wonderful site too and have taken great comfort and support by reading posts by so many going through the same horrendous journey.
