Re: Thanks for sharing your experiences . . .
Darling Mo, Your writing is a great treat for us all, it's full of seemingly insignificant cameos which say such a lot. I, and I suppose many others empathise with your anxieties and the checking of the meds and so many other things. I read your words and I am back there watching, waiting... I am so...

Re: What lies ahead
Dear Mags, Was just wondering how things were going with you? Constipation is very uncomfortable. My doctor daughter suggested the old fashioned California Syrup of Figs for my husband as it does not use anything to make your stomach cramp unlike some laxatives. Also, the GP recommended children's s...

Re: New - feeling scared
I am so sorry you have found yourself here, everyone on here knows exactly how you feel so you never need apologise for feeling hurt or angry or despondent. As other have said there is financial help available almost immediately you get the diagnosis. In our case the hospital sent the for DS1500 dir...

Re: 36 yo adv pancr cancer patient treated in France
Such sad news of one so young. It is good and reassuring to know she went peacefully. The family will miss their partner and mother but will also have the very finest example of love and courage to guide and inspire them in life. God bless Stepuha, you touched many lives, may you rest in peace. Marm...

You have many friends on the forum who are thinkin...

Morning Mo,
Delighted that the patient is well enough to be giving you the run around! Just wanted to say that I love the play list and might do the same this evening.
Much love xxxx

Re: Overwhelmed
Dear Fifi, Struggling to find or accept a diagnosis can be very difficult - life is never straight forward and there may be many facets to our health problems. People are very complex and there is not a one size fits all diagnostics kit. It seems from what you tell us that whatever ails you is very ...

Re: Thanks for sharing your experiences . . .
Great news Mo, really great.
If the injections are heparin they are a doddle but getting rid of the needles is a minefield. We had a sharps box but no one would take it off us!
Sniff the out of date food, if it smells ok it is
Glad both patients are making progress

Re: Thanks for sharing your experiences . . .
Great to hear some better news Mo! It's hard to understand the attitude of some family and friends but there are people who just can't cope with reality so they blank it out, or drink or take drugs or whatever helps them pretend it is not happening. Some it is just illness they can't deal with, I ha...

Re: Thanks for sharing your experiences . . .
Dearest Mo, For reasons beyond me I have stopped being notified when you post and I am unreliable at checking. I am astounded about the Crafte Fayre and having done many many risk assessments and public events I feel that someone somewhere has misinterpreted the guidelines although anything which sa...

Re: So frightened
Hi Fifi, None of us on here are qualified to say what ails you but you should take heart from the clear colonoscopy and the CT. It sounds like your doctors are eliminating the most serious things first. It's is distressing not to have the answers you seek but there are many non life threatening cond...

Dearest Sandie, I'm so very sorry to read that you and Stephen have been parted, I know it is that which is hell and to his release from suffering.

Re: Thanks for sharing your experiences . . .
Darling Mo, There are no rights and wrongs only your story. Of course you need a bit of help for goodness sake, it doesn't matter that Peter has been comparatively well this last year living with this diagnosis is a form of torture! There are times when knowledge is unbearable. I am so glad that Pet...

Re: Thanks for sharing your experiences . . .
Hi Mo, I'm going off line for a week but wanted to drop you a line to say well done for getting in some swimming and adopting a more relaxed attitude to Peters diet. I know it's really hard to let them push a plate away. I'm glad you and Peter are managing this new phase although none of us underest...
