    Jokes

    Emm.......I thought the jokes were supposed to be in a different place? Iv just read a heartbreaking post from a member who has lost their wife, and on the same page no less than 7 (?) jokes! Not in the best of taste really. I am not a prude i just dont think these jokes should be on the homepage with all the others.

    Ms
    I have had a call from my Hospital today to tell me i have an appointment on Friday to start my radiotherapy treatment. I was so relieved that something is actually going to happen. Im told there is a lot of preparation first. I just hope the next 6 weeks will be enough to zap this horrid thing away from me................not looking forward to the side effects though..........are they really as bad as they say? Take good care everyone X

    lost our lovely mum to ovarian cancer
    we lost mum on 3rd May, she had battled ovarian cancer since june 2006, it went to her brain in july 2008 it's so hard i don't know how we will learn to live without her, the pain is too much too endure sometimes. She was so brave and always stayed so positive and never gave up hope, she never told us how ill she was or complained, she died 3 days after her 61st birthday.

    Weight off my mind
    Hi there Well today I feel as though a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. This may sound negative to some of you but to me it was something I had to do as it has been on my mind for the past 3 months. I have arranged and paid for my funeral today, in fact I have just arranged a celebration! I have much to celebrate, I have the most wonderful husband, an almost perfect son (I don't think any of us are perfect) and fabulous grandchildren. I also have the most fantastic friends that...
