    Hi,

    I saw your ost and have added you as a friend as I feel I might be able to help you,  I was with my boyfriend only 3 months when we found out about his sarcoma lump on his arm which had sread to the lungs. the outlook does not look great.

    however at the time i was still getting to know him! I was faced with the decision as to whether i loved this man enough to stay with him through what is going to be a horrible journey. however i didn't have to think twice, i love him and that is all what matters.

    there have been a lot of tears, 9 months down the line and i think it still hasn't sunk in.

    but your relationship will grow so strong, he will need to to be there.  you will be amazed at how strong you can be, i didn't think i would still be smiling today.

    anyway I hope you can add me a sa friend and that I can be of some suport.

    stay strong and keep positive is the key

    hiya all

    thanks for yr messages.....so sorry taken a while to reply...im still gettin to grips with this site!!!

    we doing ok...just sorta in limbo, he s been for another needle biopsy because scan showed activity in a lymph node in his chect, base of neck and stomach. they said it cud be up because tryin to fight infection. we shall see. he has to have wisdom teeth out to prevent infection during radiotherapy...he s dreading the teeth more than anything bless him!!!! the tumour in his throat is hurting at min so he s been prescribed oromorph and this is helpin massively!!!

    we had brilliant weekend last week...went out and about and had some good nights out. we ve decided that when he s feelin ok we ll maybe do things...and when he s not we wont!! he cant wait to get his hands on his records and dj a fundraisin night for macmillan!!! a good focus i think.

    the waitin for results is stressing me out a bit...i keep thinkin are they stalling because its bad news....then i get rational and think its because they need to decide on the best way forward.

    im just praying and hoping it hasnt spread! hope for good  news,

    even though we only been together a short while...i know i have met my soulmate and i know he feels the same. there is no one else for either of us. we b oth been thru a lot in the past and we know that this relationship is for keeps. love him unconditionally. i do know that i have to look after myself....as this is somethin i tend to forget!!!  but i know i have to keep my own head right for mr daughter and my boyfriend...and my job!!

    thank u all so much for your kind words. they mean so much.

    speak to you  all soon hopefully
