Jill has been in hospice approx 6 weeks now , and at present is fine . The Docs have told that there have been no less than 4 occasions, when they felt she would leave us, remarkably she keeps coming albeit not just the same as before .

When we were told that no further active treatment was available , we found it very hard as a family to accept that we were to lose our youngest daughter ( 19) to this brain tumor . What we are thankful...

Hi Most of you who know me know that Bert has been re-admitted to hospital. For anyone who does not know me I will try and keep this brief.
Last September Bert was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, it was originally thought that this had evolved from Myelodysplasia and his only chance of cure was Bone Marrow Transplant. After many tests it was decided he did not infact have Myelodysplasia but did have AML. 4 cycles of chemotherapy and almost 6 months in hospital we were told he was in remission...
Hi, I have missed not being able to log on to share for the last few days
I am still new to the site and I am still finding my way around.
I have received great comfort from the support not just to me but all over the site .
I also find the info on he site really helpful.
When my Dad fell ill 6 weeks ago I just felt helpless and panicky.
Thanks so much x
i feel lost , i don't like this . where is everyone ? this isn't right ,HELP
I feel like I'm in the sea and I cannot swim (no really! I can't swim) I think I am suffering from what my husband calls Instruction blindness. I know if I ask for help or actually READ THE INSTRUCTIONS I will find Gary, Esme, Jen, Ann, Ribbsie and everyone else?
Is it just me or is anyone else confuddled with this? Tried to reply to someone-nothing happened-tried to delete some private messages-nothing happened-cant find out whats recent and whats not-cant find my friends-and so on and so on.
Oh well, suppose will get used to it, hello to everyone old and new, Julie x
