It has been awhile since I have been on this site, because so much has happened. Plus I have found it difficult.
Last year 09 I wrote a blog ('Never Let a Soul Brother Go Through the Suffering and Pain - STOP IT EARLY) about my husband Hugh being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.
Sadly on the 4th June 2010 Hugh passed away after a long fight to over come this.
By coming on here is away to not let Hugh death be in vain and to say to all the Black Brother's and their families out there, please...

lil man went to disney land in paris today for six days. His dad and i will be joining him on saturday and i cant wait.
This is positive thing to think about. I cant wait to go and have some fun. Life has been so unreal and out of control these last couple of months. This is going to be an experience for all of us.
I am slighty nervous about going because lil man has a hikman line in and i dont know if the rides will hurt it. Hopefully it will be fine and nothing will happen but i still worry...
My wife, Claudette, was diagnosed with endometrial cancer four years ago, she had a hysterectomy and radiotherapy, and we thought she was in remission. Unfortunately, it re-occurred in the neck (which caused her a considerable amount of pain as it was not diagnosed for a considerable time) and was again radiotherapied. Over the last year it has re-occurred three times and each has been radiotherapied. It has now returned and has been diagnosed as terminal. Whilst the way the news was broken was,...

She said she had a referral but equally was supprised to find I was not working, considering everything that happened and how...

Hi, This is the first time I've posted anything on here and I'm not quite sure what to do or how to do it. My husband was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, and also liver cancer, last Novemeber and has had chemo for that. It seemed quite sucessful and he has had a fairly good quality of life for a good few months. However during the last 4 weeks or so he has taken a turn for the worse and I don't know if it's his cancer or his mind that are playing up now. He has a pain in his right shoulder...
