User0083 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Feel for you James, Hope the family are coping well. But cancer's one if those things that sometimes, earlier it's found the more that can be done. I know this is no help for a lot of people, but helps your cause. One of my school mates lost his mum at 13yrs old to cancer and 2yrs later his father. As a nurse I've handled many patients with cancer and seen the impact on their families. Sure you'll help the family through this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7sRWild Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So very sorry to hear that James, been there a few times. The loss of life is always a constant reminder to me of the value in every day and to try to treat the world and its people as you would like them to remember you. This young lady left a lasting impression upon you and I am sure so many others, wrap yourself in those memories they are priceless. Climb that tree again and listen to her voice in the wind...

s2rrr Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Don't know if this is the correct thing to say in the circumstances and I also offer my sincere condolences. A good friend of mine who has had bowel cancer and has had a colostomy for quite a few years now was diagnosed with prostrate cancer a few months ago. Because of his previous ops he had to be seen by a specialist and travelled from Chester to Bristol for his treatment. Anyhow he emailed me just this morning to say he had just had the all clear and that routine checks are all that are now needed after his latest op. I guess that if there is a god he/it is out there somewhere. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
