Hi Pam,
I’m glad Lauren is going forwards in the right direction. I know what you mean about the tough love – she’ll understand with time. Good luck on Friday and keep looking after yourself too.
Hi Pam,
I’m so happy that Lauren has had her surgery. Sending you both lots of good wishes for a gentle recovery over the next few days. Look after yourself too.

Dear Angie, I am so very sorry to hear that your dad has died. My sister died on Sunday and yesterday was her funeral. Today we are going back to the cemetery with her children and nieces and nephews to let them send up balloons to her.
It is ok to be scared and nervous and yes it was incredibly hard to say goodbye yesterday. Use these days to plan a goodbye that you want him to have and be proud of and somehow, with the love of your family around you, you will make it through.

Hi pam,
I have been thinking about you and Lauren and that her surgery must be very soon. I am rooting for her and have everything crossed:-)

I needed the stats and came here and many other places to look for that. I armed myself with it from the beginning. To put the information in a specific place would however help to avoid it for those that don’t want to see it unless actively seeking it out.
Even without a specific post on stats though, the posts can make for hard reading at times. I feel that posts in general, whilst definitely being a positive forum and a force for good, reflect the course this disease all too often takes. Before I got my head around the stats, from posts alone I knew the severity of the situation that lay ahead. I’m sorry if I’m now being negative, it’s certainly not my intention and what I’m trying to inarticulately say through the Internet ethers is perhaps coming out all wrong. I’m just not sure how easy it is to avoid in a post as a post about oneself or family member could also make reference to existing stats whilst not specifically being about that.
Dear Annie,
I am sorry to read about your brother. Your love for your brother is palpable and I’m in no doubt he would have felt that and not fear.
Hi ladybug,
Welcome to the forum. I’m sorry that you’ve had to come here but as you’ve found, the support and information is outstanding. Others will be along soon to offer their wisdom. Good news that your husband was able to have surgery I really do send positive thoughts for the chemo and radiation treatment.

Pam what a great idea. Thank you:-) I will suggest it to my brother in law when I call him tonight. I just don’t know if my sister will be up to doing it though. There is very little conversation, she is very vacant and her voice is almost emotionless when she does talk. I’m off to see if I have any little videos on my phone. Why oh why did I not think of this before I left her this morning?
Dear Rena,
I am so very sorry for your dad, you and the rest of your family. I really feel for you not being with him. I am a 6 hour drive from my sister and it is very hard being away from her and the family – much harder than I prepared myself for or thought it would be. Please try not to be to hard on yourself – these are circumstances of which you have no control and your love for your dad is no less because of the miles between you.
Clare
Dear Annie,
To have this once in your family is bad enough but twice is unimaginable.
Time really is precious and you are very much in my thoughts.
Hi Angie and Hi notdoneyet,
Angie I am very sorry to read about your dad. As you’ve discovered, there is so much support from the members here- it still blows me away. Please come back and let us know how your dad and you are.
Notdoneyet: there are so many wrongs with this disease but knowing that my parents are having to watch their daughter suffer is particularly hard for me. Your selflessness and love for your son shines through.
