For friends here less fortunate.

I have to say I agree with you on this one it's hard.to find support sometimes when things are going wrong and people want positive news some of us don't have that to give so stay silent I hope that all the folk on all the cancer sites find some peace and hope as well as a helping hand when needed if anyone ever needs to talk I'm always ready to listen no positivity neededx

Thank you Poppy1955. You have sorted out my badly thought out and written post and said exactly what I wanted to say.

Hi Norberry

Wow, that's a statement straight from your heart Norberry, sensitive and caring. 

I'd like to echo your thoughts on supporting those who are not in as good health as some of us yet somehow they are standing proud in our eyes. I wish everyone the best of health and happiness for next year and would love everyone to be here this time next year. Please. Please. Please.

Thanks Tvman, you know who these people are, you have shared stories with them for years. They are the no fuss, mustn't grumble crowd who always ask after others, what would we do without them Thats my big selfish worry.

I just suddenly post these thoughts and then worry about what I have just said.

I want for these people that which you have said before, dozens of arms around their shoulders to help with the pain and anxiety.

Got to stop now, otherwise water damage to my pad!

Hi Norberry

Don't worry about posting your thoughts Norberry, there's nothing but sensitivity in them, you don't need to be concerned about them at all.

Right with you Norberry as difficult as this is for all of us, some of our group are dealing with unimaginable challenges and there isn't going to be any good news for them. I hope against hope that everyone finds the love and support they need for some comfort, relief from symptoms and some peace of mind.

WELL. SAID!!

1. I try not to start the day off in tears but you got me.  It is a beautiful thought.  I feel very blessed to have such a supportive family and even more blessed to have the support of this community.    I think when you are worried and you can come here to ask the hard questions it is such a help -there is such love and support and caring.  Thank you Norberry for making us think of each other x

Hello MazLC.

The people on here saved my bacon. I was crying all the time and really causing a lot of distress  to my wife.

Once I joined this community I had immediate support and empathy and people were suggesting ways to handle what was happening to me, not just my body but my mental state.

I cannot believe the difference it made. Of course I still have a sniff, nice to feel sorry for myself now and again.

You have had an awful year but your medical team will have plenty of plans for you, thats their business and they are pretty damned good at it.

I didn't have to ask people to think of those suffering, they are supporting people on here 24 / 7 anyway, I just had a moment and was desperate to put my thoughts down.

Here to a massively better new year for you. Xxxxx

And to you Norberry.  I find in some ways it is good to know the diagnosis - it is the unknown that is frightening
