You die for free but it costs you your life

Hi Eddie and everyone who posted. Not sure why I wanted to start this thread but I did want to and I'm glad I did.

Most have had very positive feelings following diagnosis, despite side effects, worries about scan results, endless appointments, failure to live up to our expectations, anger, fear. We get on with what we have, onwards and upwards as Ellie would say.

I read a book not long ago where a depressed young boy who had suffered tremendous abuse said "specialists are there to treat special people, I'm not special". We are all special and we feel that everyday with our partners, children, grandchildren. And even if we are alone, there are hospices, beautiful volunteers and others to help.

And of course all the forums here where we can magically ask for help and get it. I wish you all a Happy Easter

A lovely reply Patrick, and I am glad you posted it.

Your spelling has got better, is it the eye injection or better wine?

LOL Not sure combination of both I reckon.

It was a good thread you started, the proof is  the uptake of the replies.

Every one spoke from the heart, I thought.
