    Good bye to my wee maw
    My wee maw finally lost her battle today, I have never known a more brave & courageous woman than my mum, she fought a long hard battle, my dad & I have been by my mums side for the last week & a half as she fought to stay with us, she never complained once & was forever apologising to us (can you believe that) it just shows what a truly remarkable woman she was, I will miss her forever & a day. I was honored to be there on her final journey & was with her to the end, I,ve cried a river as nothing...

    Robotic prostatectomy and a speedy recovery
    My husband had robotic surgery for the removal of his prostate gland. He had early stage prostate cancer (Gleason 6) PSA 5. It's amazing how he has recovered so quickly - back at work part time after 3 weeks! In terms of continence he is pretty much dry now - just the odd leak if he goes too long between loo trips! The surgeon was able to preserve nerves so we're hoping for improvements in erections soon. He goes back to Addenbrookes next week for his 6 week check up. At the time he felt surgery...

    Dubious????
    With regard to info on imposters. I must admit to being new to the chat room scene. I'm almost afraid to use it. I constantly dip into it whilst perusing the site, to see who's chatting. I quite often feel that I'm interupting peoples conversations with my fingertips! I don't know enough people yet to make any judgements about it, but I do feel it is an important communication tool. It would be a shame for people to stop using it. I find this website utterly irresistable, I cannot stop myself...

    New to site - mum just diagnosed
    Mum was diagnosed with lung cancer just last week and we are stumbling around in the dark. She had a bronchoscopy last week and we see a specialist tomorrow. I am sure the hospital she is going to is good but wanted some independent information about it. Does anyone know where I might find this? I was recommended the Drfosterhealth.co.uk website but not much joy there.

    chordoma
    I've just returned from hospital after a chordoma excision at the base of the spine. Coccyx and part of sacrum removed. Nerves have been affected meaning I have bowel and bladder complications - still have a catheter in place. Swelling in buttock area means its uncomfortable to sit down. I would love to hear from anyone who has been through similar experience
