    Off topic my lovely internet buddies:
    This blog is by one of my childhood friends, we have known each other since we were about 8 I think...we went onto the same High School and moved into differnt circles but still kept tabs on each other...Now she has cancer and this is her blog on one of Canada's most popular women's magazines-an excellent, riveting and bittersweet, candid account of a young woman with cancer. I would recommend a read.

    How in the hell do people deal with serious illness with such dignity and logic? When someone says ' how would you deal with being told you had Cancer' I dont think its possible to answer truthfully cos nobody knows and it doesnt matter how many accounts of others illnesses you read you still dont know.
    Scream and shout, fight it, give in? Who knows. thanks Bunny

  • Thanks for having a look Pepe.

    Once again, in the face of adversity, a person's true good character shines thru. I need things like this to remind me of how bloody lucky I truly truly am.

    Bunny, we just dont know what our true strengths, or indeed, weaknesses are.. I just hope that I never have to find out when faced with something as uncontrollable as a serious illness.

    Now I have to go to bed, been up 25 hours now. Mines a Guinness....
