Hi
So I haven't got cancer but cancer has ruled my life for a while. My mate had a really rare form of cancer with 3 brain tumours. She is French and has no family save for her 11 year old daughter. We just went for a 6 month MRI. Her daughter's godmother, our friend died 2 months ago from cancer.
My sister in law had bowel cancer, fingers crossed all ok now. Her Dad. 81 years old just had robotic surgery (bloody amazing) to remove a growth from his bowel. It's gone for tests but they got it all anyway
I feel I am quite well placed to chat to anyone who would like to talk
