My Dad 66yr old with bowel cancer stage 4 with liver mets

My Heart goes out to  Ann, who lost her amazing Nev this afternoon.  Ann, has been a constant on this thread for so many people and always remained positive, and has given so much support to me and many others on here.  RIP you amazing man Nev, how lucky you were to have Ann by your side through all this XXX 

Very sad to hear this too. I agree with you Jules. It was on this thread that we first heard of Nev cycling around his area with his chemo pack on. He remained Nev the man and did  not seem to let the cancer define him. I feel lost for words today and really feel for Ann. I said to Ann privately that she too never brings her own needs to the table , always what was best for Nev.  Two pretty special people.

All my love ,

Court

:(..very sorry to hear ann..wasnt here from the beginning so just read back..so hard to survive this awful disease, all these fighters taken. no more pain now..you will meet again..but not yet (ok i didnt say that, it was off Gladiator movie..but its my favourite quote) xxx

Well when I started this thread my lovely Dad was '66yrs,  and today Tues 29th Nov, would have been Dad's 68th BD if the BIG 'C' hadn't gotten in the way of all that.  So a bit of a tough day.  I have brought a HUGE cream filled lamington to have tonight, as my Dad and our wee fell Rhys often shared a lamington after Dad had had his chemo, so it quickly became a treat to have with 'Poppy' so since it reminds us all so much of Dad we decided that Dad would want our kids to have a lamington on his birthday!  Mum was down with us for three days but went home a couple of days ago.  She is having pork fingers tonight, as that was one of Dad's favourites also - we may all have to blame Dad for our increasing tummy's!

Thinking of you Jules.  Love Court

Hi Jules

It would have been my husbands  birthday today too, his 54th.  He died just before Christmas last year I can't believe a year has nearly passed already.

Thinking of you.

Hi Court and Jackie, thanks for your thought  xxx   Wow a popular date hey Jackie?  Yes I remember when you went through this ordeal with your husband.  I hope you are doing OK, I know today and coming up to Christmas will be hard for you, love and hugs Jackie xxx  

Hi All,

Off for results next week.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Love Court

Hi Court, wishing you much love for results....XXX  I hope all is well.

We're so busy at the moment!  Like everyone, with the onslaught of Christmas sneaking up on us.  Our kids are 10,8 and 5yrs, and they finish up school here in New Zealand on Thursday, so as you can imagine there is a hectic week coming up!  I think we will get through it!  Our kids are  also looking forward to Christmas... Mum not so much, she would like to 'skip' Christmas this year, but we have to have a good one for Dad!  I keep seeing him, walking through the passage door last Christmas morning, I faught back the tears knowing it was probably going to be our last one with him xxx    Well whether we like it or not, Christmas will happen!  We are going to Mum's this year and then up to Mum and Dad's fishing hut too have some special time where we all feel close to Dad, and our kids have a ball! 

Wishing everyone a special Time, know it isn't going to be easier for some of us xxx       

You know I look around this site, and see all these beautiful people that are no longer with us... and I truely believe it is so true that GOD only takes the best....

As for me, I'm going to be rocking on for bloody long time!  XOX
