Hi Jackie
Ta very much, I will try to think of a heading to put and go from there, the last few months have been such a worry for me and Sue and we have really helped each other,sadly Sue's husband passed away on the 26th Jan, and my husband had the news his tumour has grown dispite having the chemo, so I feel we can both gain from talking to new people who are all gaining strength from one another.

Sue, Jen and any other newbies.
If you find someone you want to chat to regularly, and off topic you can request as friend. I think at least one of you must have an open profile to do this. Click on someone's profile, if it is open you will find a Request as Friend option. On the cancerbackup page there is also "live chat". I have never used it myself because I dont "do" live chat on anything, but this may be something you are more familiar with than the forum.
People are on and off the forum, so you may get quick replies, or you may have to wait a few hours, or days before they are back on.
There are also groups, for certain topics or types of cancer. Some are open, some are closed and you need to request to join.
Wishing all of you friendship, support & love
Hugs HarryB x x
