    Just de-lurking to say how sorry I am that the news wasn't good. It will no doubt take some time for the news to sink in and for you and your family to deal with the situation.

    I don't post on here normally and only 'know' you from other threads so will sneak back away now.

    Hello Taxi, I'm sorry to hear your news. What an awful shock, and now you will have to deal with a barrage of information and decisions. It's good to know you have your supportive OH and family around you. I am sending you 'virtual' (but real) sympathy, hugs and positive vibes.
