    Hi, not posted in a few weeks so thought I would catch up with all my mac friends! Been back in work now for 3 weeks which has been great so good to get back to some sort of normality.  Still quite uncomfortable with my skin donor site but have found a dressing that makes me more comfortable in work as i am sitting and it is on the back of my thigh and I tend to think do whatever works for you there doesnt seem to be any…

    Hi, just wondered if anyone who has had a split skin graft has any useful tips for healing the donor site??  I had mine 11 weeks ago and am still having trouble with it.  It is still very tender and stings - not pleasant at all.  I am moisturising it twice a day with double base cream and have to wear a cotton dressing over it when out to be bearably (?) comfortable.  It hurts loads when i am driving and sitting for long…

    Recently I told you about a dear friend of mine that has very recently passed away.

    Well her funeral is on Wednesday and i dont feel I can go..................

    This makes me sound like an extremely unfeeling and callous person but please dont think that cos I am so not like that and I am really struggling with this big time.  I have had such a tough cancer journey during the last 3 months not only physically but emotionally…

    Very sad today lost a very dear friend to this devastating disease.....

    Only 42 years young and a nicer person you could not meet.  But I am consoling myself with the fact that since diagnosis in December 09 she has suffered so much and been so ill that at least she can now sleep peacefully.  Her children tho grown up have been so brave and strong throughout this and she would be so very proud of them all.  They are a credit…
