Lisa, I’m very glad you met someone with a heart & a brain in synch with it!! You are NOT a problem, you are a customer/client & should be evaluated on your own facts. As a solicitor, I used to act for Lenders & it makes me so cross when they work solely on “criteria” & not on common sense!!!
Good luck with your future dealings with them.

I’m sure that’s what my sister has, Rowena. A metal “mesh” stent which expands and beds in to the wall, keeping everything open & draining? My understanding is they don’t clog easily but, if they do, they’re fairly easy to sort out.
I may be wrong, but I think that’s what she’s got.
Welcome Margaret – this is a wonderful family you’ve found & I know you’ll get loads of help & support here.
KEEP KICKING!!!! Love to you & your family.

How lovely to meet you, Sophie – I’ve heard so much about you & I know you’ve been missed whilst you’ve been away from the boards. I’m so sorry you’re feeling so rough, but a good ol’ wallow does a power of good & I’m glad you’re back.
I hope some of the suggestions will help ease your mouth sores.
All the best
JuliaI’m so sorry, Kris – I do know how hard that can be. I was 35 when I was told I couldn’t have children & it took me a good while to adjust. My reason wasn’t the same as yours but the emotional side was still very painful. Since then, I’ve “adopted” all my friends’ children & adore watching my god-daughters grow up. My godson’s just had a baby, too & I’m waiting to meet him.
Have you had a chance to meet Kjartan Magnus yet? Please tell us more when you do.
All my best wishes are winging your way through the snow
This is great news, Surf2kona – I hope you get more & more & more good news & please come here to share it with us.

Welcome, indeed, Larry!! I’m so very sorry you’ve lost your dad & am so grateful that you’re joining us to share your knowledge & support. I’m sure he would be very proud of your thoughtfulness to others in the same positions you & he found yourselves. Like you, I’m a carer & I look forward to talking to you again soon.
Julia
I’m sorry I’m so late in welcoming you, Amir – I’ve been catching up on posts today.
WELCOME!!
I’m so sorry you & your dad are having to go through this – but he’s SO lucky to have you by his side. Your love for him is so apparent & you are clearly doing everything you can to support him. Sometimes it’s not too hard to know the right thing to say & sometimes it’s VERY hard to know what’s best. You made a decision which was the right one at the time, for the situation you were in at that time. Now it seems he needs to be given the extra information.
I send GOOD LUCK wishes for a positive outcome for your dad & for you – & MANY CONGRATULATIONS on your exam.

Looking forward to hearing from you when you get a chance, Katie – but no rush; I know you’ve got a lot on at the moment.
She managed to get to Guy’s (where she’s having chemo) by bus this morning & came back by tube. She had a friend with her so I stayed home & chewed my nails whilst monitoring the TFL (Transport for London) website for any additional travel problems. All went well – phew!!
It’s stopped snowing where I am but the College I work at has closed until Monday, too – maybe your son & I could go out & make snowballs together during our time off
I’m so glad you were able to go to Florida, Sharon, & that your mum’s still with you. I’m so sorry to hear how she is weakening but you are such a wonderful daughter & the stories you have shared with us are so inspirational.
You are very much in my thoughts. My best wishes to you, your mum & the rest of your family, too.

Welcome, Julie!! My sister’s on the Gemcitabine/Cisplatin combination & is tolerating it well, over all. She’s finished her 4th cycle so should be due for another scan fairly soon.
GOOD LUCK with your partner’s healing & future treatment.
Julia
