    RIP - Sarahmumof4

    I have never posted before but i have been  following sarahs personal blog on sarahchalmers.webs.blog.com  about her fight against cervical cancer.    I have been on her blog today and comments have been posted that she passed away on 21 May.    Her facebook page also says she has passed.  Just thought you would like to pay your respects..

    RIP Sarah - a very brave lady

  • Experience of the devil cells - day to day snippets of their wellbeing
    the start of a long blog (hopefully)

    This is the cell's  first blog which will hopefully give a regular commentary on our activities and mishchevious goings-on. We  will start with a brief description of our habitat. Luckypete is male 53yrs old and has provided a second home for us on his pleura but since the rest of his body is covered by the data protection act, even after consderible investigation nobody will give any indication where our first home is, also we have disguised ourselves so our type can't be identified. Having been...

    Big thanks

    Hi there bali, thanks for the positives.  Like so many of us out there i'm going into unchartered waters.  Im pretty good at talking so i'm sure i.ll get to know some other patients tomorrow, and we can swap our cancer stories which i am sure will help us.  The nursing staff will be on hand to help and assure us as well.  So already i'm not so nervous.  Nice to here from you.      Darter

    Chemo day

    nice to here you are a west Hull man Graeme, we might make a proper egg chaser supporter of you after all. Seriously though, glad you are in remission and hope it lasts.  I'm having my first session of chemo tomorrow at the new centre, i certainly want the treatment, but a little apprehensive regarding the side effects.  We will just hav to see how it goes (fingers crossed).  TTFN  :-)
