Hi just had my second experience on chat and found it a good place to be. Last night was a bit daunting as so many people on it my eyes were rolling trying to read your messages.

Felt like I was intruding at first as I am a carer not a (what would be the right word to use without offending) carrier, probably still not the right term to use. Anyway I went on again this morning and was amazed that Mel knew my age. How clever she is I thought, I asked how she found out and I then had a short lesson on finding my way around the chat page. Thanks Mel. Will return again. x

Hi nanny

Glad you are finding your way around chat. I often pop in if I need a bit of a boost and sometimes a giggle. I agree that it is sometimes a bit fast in there and my poor old eyes have a job keeping up at times. If you press F11 the screen will enlarge so you can see more - then press the same key before you disconnect.

You are definitely not intruding. I am a carer too and we need just as much support as cancer sufferers. Chat users are a mixture of carers, friends, relatives and patients; in fact anyone whose life has been touched by this horrible disease.

Hope to see you in there some time soon.

Take care,

Lots of love and *hugs*, Madge x x x x x

Hi Nanny,

I was so glad when I found chat too and I'm a carer as well. It's just so helpful finding people who are going through the same as you. My friends and family are great but sometimes just don't 'get it'. It's good for a gigle but also good for a moral boost or an answer to a question you have.

Hope to see you on there soon!

Hi Nanny,

We tend to use the word "patient", "carriers" sounds like we're contagious, which we're not!
