Dear Wensdi,
Not sure that I have heard of this either on here. Please let us know more when you can and we will help as best as we can. You so did the right thing here in getting your son to the ER as soon as you could. My thoughts are with you both and please remember that we are here for you always.
Hugs,
Gavin
Hi Duke,
I’m not really the one best placed to help on this one as I haven’t read any of the books and didn’t see the TV series adaptation that the BBC did of Hamish McBeth either. I had a quick look at the wiki page for Hamish McBeth and it seems that the author was not too happy about the tv series of her books. That doesn’t surprise me though as that happens a lot with books going over to fil and tv I would argue.
I take it that the characters in the book are crofters and live the crofting lifestyle? If so that is very far away from the majority of Scotland now but many families and communites do still live that life in rural areas of Scotland, and good on them if they can make it pay I say!
A link for you about crofting Duke if you are interested. http://www.crofting.scotland.gov.uk/
And yes, without having read the books I would agree with you that the descriptions of the land would be grand!

Thanks for the write up Marion, sounds like the conference went very well indeed!! My thanks of course go to all who were involved with it, thank you so much!
For those who are on Facebook, here are a few pic for you all!
Marion at the lectern giving her presentation.
Marion, Helen (AMMF) and our Stacie as well. So love this pic!
Sounds like the Annual Meeting went very well indeed and so looking forward to hearing more about it all.
Thanks and hugs to all,
Gavin
Hi Wensdi,
I am so sorry to hear about your son and what he is going through with all of this, my heart goes out to you. No I am not in the medical field but part of my role here on the site is searching the internet and posting what research comes out that I feel is relevant to CC and may be of use or help to everyone. I first came here in 2008 after my dad was diagnosed with CC and got so much help from everyone and I like and want to be able to repay that help to others if I can. My dad passed away in 2009 but there is no way that I am leaving my family here.
How is your son getting on with the chemo? I have no problem speaking to you off board but I know that you will get so much more support and help from everyone here on the boards so please feel free to ask anything and we will do what we can to help. We are all here for you and we care.
As to the trial at MD Anderson, I am not sure about that one but hopefully someone else here may have heard about it. Have you searched through the clinical trials database? It can be found here –

Please keep coming back, we are here for you.
My best wishes to you and your son,
Gavin
This is a good plan Alison and thanks for letting us know about it. Hoping that you all get some good news and please let us know what happens with it. 2nd opinions or more are so important and I hope that you will get some good names and info that is specific to Australia.
My best wishes to you,
Gavin
Hi Porter,
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending you loads of positive thoughts as well. Getting that little sucker out as you say sounds like a good plan to me! I hope it all goes well, good luck!
Hugs,
Gavin
No apologies ever for smilies Darla! I read somewhere that it takes more facial muscles to frown and less to smile, so…… smile!
And Momma, one day I will get there and join you in eating my way through Phoenix….
Gav vs Phoenix food! Burgers, yep, BBQ, YEP!! I soo need to get to the US!
Hope you have gym’s there though to work off all of that eating!
Hi Amy,
Welcome to the site and so glad that you have joined in with us all now! Sorry to hear the latest news from Matt, but what a trooper he is. Real glad that you are both now here as I know that you will also get so much support from everyone here along with Matt too of course!
Please keep coming back Amy, we are here for you.
My best wishes to you and Matt,
Gavin
WHOA…….. blind mules??? I ain’t into sitting on a blindfolded mule and trusting it to lead me down the GC! Think I’d rather walk down it myself than put my faith in a blindfolded mule! That is crazy!!!
Look at it this way, do you think Uncle Duke would trust me to take that tandem down that video I posted here on the site of the mountain in Scotland with me blindfolded. And of course Duke on the back not blindfolded but me steering it with zero site due to my blindfold.
Think I know what Duke will say to that idea!!!
Would love to see the GC someday, looks amazing!
