Since I read the news this morning, it feels like I’ve been in a fugue – trying desperately to focus on things which don’t matter & to avoid thinking about the things which do.
I, too, feel like I know Kris & that I’ve lost a very, very dear friend. I will always remember her as this wonderful, sparkling woman who took my hand when I gingerly stepped onto the Boards not much more than a year ago & (along with other shining stars on here) gently guided me through the cc maze.
Dear Kris – your posts made me laugh & cry & I learned so much from your wise words & from your compassionate actions. You could be going through some unimaginably hard times … & would then diffuse everything by “complaining” (
) that the thing you hated most about cc was watching people turn green when you farted. I choked on my tea when I read that. My sister, too, was so grateful for all your insights into experiences she was having & that she felt so alone with.I can’t believe you’re no longer with us but I know you’ll never leave us.
God bless you, Kris – & you Hans & your families (which, as someone else has already pointed out, of course includes your cats
)love from both of us

Hello, Curt, & a big welcome from me, too. Please keep coming back to tell us how your mum is – & also how you are – getting on.

JuliaDear Cyndi – welcome indeed to this wonderful place. I send my very best to you, your SIL & your family. As you say, this is a difficult road & I wish you continued good news as you travel along it.
Julia
This is such sad news. Her blog was so full of life & vibrancy. Please pass my deepest sympathy to Judy & her family.

Dear Rick, although I’m so sorry to hear of Leo’s passing, I thank you for letting us know. My sincere condolences to his family.

I cannot express my mixed feelings of sadness at Teddy’s passing, relief that he’s no longer in pain & anger that the Hospice’s failings should have added to his pain & your distress. At the end you were together & in each other’s arms & that is a wonderful image.
You & Teddy are my Miracle Couple – I thank God I found this site & met you both & your wonderful family & shared this part of your journey with you.
I love you both & will always keep you in my heart, where Teddy will continue to laugh & joke & flirt with his gorgeous wife. This “short man” who “stands so tall” is a GIANT amongst men & will continue to guide & inspire us in our ongoing battle with his disease.
May God bless you, Teddy, & you, too, lovely Lainy, Robin & Family.

Thank you, Snezzie – yes it does!! It makes me want to keep going & do as much as I possibly can.
I really like the ideas you’ve been coming up with for February Awareness Month – & for raising awareness generally. I hope we can plan something for Feb that we can all do together, however far apart we may be.
My best wishes
JuliaDear Marj, I’d like to join the others in welcoming you to this wonderful site. I’m sorry I can’t add anything to Marion & Gavin’s comments, but I wanted you to know we’re here for you. I Know that sometimes it’s really hard to know what to do for the best, so please do let us know how you’re getting on.

Dearest Andrea, I’m so sorry Professor Lodge can’t help, but how wonderful that you were able to find & ask him & that he was so willing to meet you all. I can’t see that there was anything you could have done that you didn’t do. Your dad is so lucky to have you – & it sounds like you’re equally lucky to have such a wonderful dad.
my thoughts are very much with you & your family during this very difficult transitional period.
Love Julia x
Thank you for all your support. We did ask if it could be the stent but the Onc said the scan didn’t throw up any concerns about the stent & that there was no evidence of sludge.
Once the Chemo restarted, she felt so much better, so quickly, that it seems to reinforce that view.
Andrea – thank you for the info about the new trial. I looked into it but I don’t think she would qualify because of “spots” elsewhere. I do appreciate you looking out for new trials, though. I’m thinking of you & your dad.
Kris – I love your daffodil pic!!
My very best to you all
