    Having a hard time accepting....
    ......that Dad will not change his drinking habit 'just because' he has cancer. Am I being selfish for wanting him to be sober when I visit him with my 5 and 8 yrs old kids. He has diabetes too and that doesnt even make him slow down on the hooch.

    Bike and horse riding
    Hi, Since I joined the site I have noticed the majority of people with bowel cancer seem to ride horses or bicycles. I cycled for years with baby seats for my children. Is there a link? Just wondered how many bowel cancer sufferers have this connexion. Jo x

    Lymphoedema
    I have recently been diagnosed with Lymphoedema. I am attending the physio at my local hospital. She has given me exercises and lovely lymphoedema garments to wear on my arm. There are times when I am fine and then there are times when I do not feel as good. I have been told that it is long term. To date the swelling has gone down slightly.

    GETTING BETTER.
    The operation 7th November.2008 Things went well at first. On the Monday, he seemed to be in a lot of pain, in his chest and in his tummy. He was crying, whimpering, and groaning. I upped his pain killers but nothing seemed to help him. By the time it got to 10pm I phoned the NHS help line. There were phone calls back and forth, then the one to say they were sending out a Doctor. He came an hour or two later. He tried to examine Stephen and take his temperature. But it was all to no avail. If Stephen...
