I'd like to talk to people in Scotland regarding cancer diagnoses whether it be themselve or if they are a carer as I now find myself.
My husband has always been quite healthy appart his Chrohns of which he has had since childhood, needless to say he never complains, when he was diagnosed end September last year even then I couldn,t believe how he has dealt with this. I find people in this situation totally amazing their courage and the way they just try to keep such a positive attiitude is fantastic...

The time has come that i have been dreading for months, my beloved dad has gone,and i feel my heart has been ripped out, all my friends in chat have been with us helping,supporting, caring,advising, just being there when needed, when ever i switched on someone was there,i could not have done this without the support i have recieved from the special friends i have made. While we sat at home waiting for the GP and nurses to turn up i had...
Mum is now in hospital - she's been in since Tuesday evening....she had deteriorated very quickly and is now struggling to breathe - they are trying to make her as comfortable as possible - but its just so hard watching her.
I know in my last post i said about the suffering and i wish it would end - well now i mean it even more - i wish and hope she feels ready to go. I always say i'm ready for it to happen but everytime something else happens and get a phone call saying mum has got worse i...
Sadly Colin past away peacefully yesterday morning, Colin was the bravest man i have ever met, and i was lucky enough to be granted permission to marry his Daughter 10 years ago, we gave him 3 Grand children and he loved spending time with them. RIP Colin you will be sadly missed by so many people.. I'm so sorry i have to give out this news..
Hi new to this so sorry if im inthe wrong place.

The oncologist, who suggested that mum may only have weeks left here (although i have no idea how long weeks is) is not going to give any treatment apart from steroids to reduce the swelling. She also had a major stroke 5 years ago which has left her relatively blind - only sees shadows and faces up close and a little confused - but can understand everything...
