This is the start of a new journey for me and my much loved friends from the original Oesophegus thread on general discussions.
We have become a close group and this will be our new home to continue our journey as life has become very hard for many of us and we keep re-living our journeys with lots of newbies which puts us all back a bit.
So my lovely friends Mel, Sam, Helen, Bern, Jac, Nic, Dawn, Sue, Cath, Lesley, Jani and the many other special friends Mel and I have made over the last 16 months this is it we have a new home.
Love to all and extra strength to carry us through our next stage XXX

Hi Bern
Thinking of you today and hoping that the new job is going well so far.
Has the world gone mad? I look down the side of my pc, there are real cries of help, bewilderment and pain. Then in amongst this shout, there are messages about who has upset who.
I don't know what has gone or, or do I want to know what has happened. Why have people lost sight of their senses? The whole thing about this site is support and to fight against this poxy illness. I have felt angry at times about comments, but I have walked away. Why, well my response would have been lashing out and in reality had that person said something that bad, or was I just feeling particularly crap at the time and needing to lash out? The latter normally and if it wasn't, well in the cold light of day I know what is important to me.
So, I would like to send out a group hug to one and all. You can't have taken offense from what I have said, cause how could you? If you have, give yourself a goold old kick up the arse and donate £5 to Macmillan!!
Sending strength and love to you wonderful beautiful people. Bern xx
Well said and I second what you say as there are many negative and nasty people in this world, and Mel is not one of them. I have met Mel, Sam, Bern, Rach, Heidi, and of course have spent many days with my mad twin and I would never change any of them for the world, as they have all helped me through my grieving and I hope I have helped them. We have travelled our journeys together and have met at different stages of our journeys and we are all different in our personalities but when together we become one. The day my mad twin and I went to Mel's mum's grave I felt honoured and priviledged as well as sadness as I never got the chance to meet the fabulous lady before hand. When I did the race for life Mel's mum sponsored me and her name is on my sponsor page with her lovely words. That will always be with me and I smile now as I type these words as it is a meomory that will never fade and it is a nice memory
I will say that as we are so close that there can come a time when we may hurt one another as like the saying says we hurt the closest to us. This a couple of our group know from our own experiences, however we have grown from it and have gained a deeper friendship that noone can break.
I love each and every one of them with their warts an'all and am so glad they are in my life and they always will be.
Oh my goodness, I have really ventured over to the dark side as my mad twin says he he. Well you lot, there is always a first for everything. Now don't shout at me for taking too much time will you he he
Love to you all and see some of you very very very soon yippee I am so excited
THIS IS A MESSAGE TO ALL WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THIS BLOODY STUPID WITCH HUNT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melanie has used this site for a lot longer than most people and has supported many in this time. I am not sure why people are deliberatly targeting Mel but I would ask this stops here and now......
I have been a friend to all and only had one accidental run in with a lady from here which was resolved also this lady helped me a couple of weeks ago through some health problems of my won for which I am eternally greatful.
So my point is I have always tried to be nice and support everyone but from this day forward I will not as I refuse to be a part in this when Mel has been my main support since my Dad was diagnosed in Dec 07. (sorry 06!)
I joined this site in June 2007 and Mel was one of the first to welcome me and she made me feel at home straight away. We have shared our journeys together and over time, we have become close friends. Not only are we in touch via this site but we have met in person and we chat often, at length, on the telephone. Mel is a lovely, kind and genuine person who goes out of her way to help others. I can honestly say that she is the greatest friend anyone could wish for. There should be no doubts whatsoever, as to what kind of person Mel is.
Hi ladies, just wanted to say I sent mel a pm saying i didnt want to get involved as i have not read/do not know enough about everything that has happened. but wanted to say her help (and yours Em) has always been appreciated by myself and others that i know of but who maybe have not been quite as high profile. any decision taken by yourselves i am sure will be the right one but did not want any of you to think that it is the majority who do not appreciate you all.

Hello Em, I replied to your post on the Coping with Loss Forum but have just noticed that the thread has been taken off so I decided to contact you on this thread. I just want to say that I am completely with you. it is a hard time, and we all need to support each other. Love and prayers,Christine x
