Love you, too, Pam!! I know from your posts how compassionate & caring you are & I send my very best wishes to you as you mark this sad milestone.

I hope you & Marc are having a good Easter, Jeff. It’s GREAT to hear he’s pain-free.
My best wishes to you both.

I’m so very glad you found us, Jeff – just as I’m so very grateful I found you all, too. Like you, I would have been totally lost without CCF.
My best wishes to you & Marc.
HAPPY EASTER

My sister gets very, very fatigued a few days after chemo, Rick & there’s no real consistency about when it hits her, either.
I hope you get your bounce back very soon.

Dear Caregiver, I’m sorry I can’t answer your question but I’m sure there are others on here who can – & will – give more info. I wanted to come on & say hello, though, & to welcome you to this wonderful “family”. You won’t be alone on here.
My very best wishes to you, your sister, brother-in-law & niece.

Thank you, that means a lot to me – particularly as I’m constantly trying to assess “will this help or will it make things worse?” & am never sure if the path I choose is the right one.
But I suppose the reality is that none of us knows – not only is there no expiration date stamped on the soles of our feet, but we don’t get handed a user manual with this diagnosis either …
Thank you, Marion. My local authority copied my sister in on a letter recently, where palliative care was referred to as “end of life” care.
I went MAD at that definition & splurged my fury out in a very terse letter to them …
(… end result, they sent a doctor round to see her & apologise to her personally – YAY!!!)
There’s a new member on the Facebook fan page who wrote: “didn’t know what this was, so I looked it up”. When I read it, I thought, “Wow – we’re really raising awareness, one person at a time”.
I think you’ve made a wonderful suggestion, Kathy. I hope that day will be far, far in the future.

I hope your dad recovers from the infection quickly, Merilee. I don’t think you’re being self-centred at all – & even if you were, why shouldn’t you be, with all you’re having to cope with??
Best wishes are winging their to you from London … x

A very big WELCOME to this wonderful site from me, too, Tina. I’m sorry I cannot help with the issues you’re coping with – other than to echo Pam’s Number One Rule – but I want you to know you will always find friends here. This is a wonderfully caring & supportive family & we are here for you.
Please take care of yourself.

Jolene – thank you for this link; I hope it will help Debby & I know it will help me.
I am so sorry, too, for the awful series of losses you’ve had to cope with. I was aware of how recently you’d lost your beloved dad, but I had no idea of your additional losses of mother & mother-in-law. I’m very glad you are getting support & I am very grateful to you for continuing to give support at what must be such an incredibly painful time for you, too.
