Well 12 weeks since I was told I had untreatable and terminal liver cancer, and boy has it been a ride. I've two sons 25 and 27, the younger lives in Germany, the older in my home town. The first person I contacted after I got the news was their mum ( we are not together), we agreed that we couldn't tell the older because we didn't want him to tell our younger son who lives in Germany and would panic, so we agreed that she would tell the younger to come home for serious family news. Oh boy, did I get a grilling from the lads, me and their mum had agreed not to lie, but not to volunteer anything, so when Connor (in Germany) rang and asked if I was ok I could say yes (I'm asymptomatic). Anyway he came over and Barbara brought both lads over to my house about 20 miles away (tbc)
