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...

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...

Don't mean to sound depressing as at least there is hopefully...
Hi,
I have been sent a rather interesting, but slightly doubtful report from a friend today, with regards to Asparagus and it properties.It claims that there are certain substances in it that can reduce cancer cell counts?
Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the...
