    Surely this is a joke right?

    If it is, then it is a very sick joke indeed. I can't believe how low some people can go. I really hope your husband's treatment is successful, but he should tell this madam a few home truths.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    For what it's worth, a hundred thousand pound loan is going to be a hugely tough ask from any lender at any kind of attractive interest rates, guarantor or not. I really can't imagine this being a goer.

    I think this is a troll, a sick one at that.

    On what basis do you reach that conclusion? I am genuinely interested.

    No one should ever be guarantor to any family member. If you need a guarantor then you can't afford the loan, and anyone agreeing to guarantor it for you is asking to pay it themselves.

    Maybe like the rest of us, we HOPE it is a sick troll thread.

    Can there really be such vermin in this world to even consider doing this to family?

    Some trolls come on here asking deliberately provocative questions to engender strong responses.

    There is very little more likely to chap the buttocks of forum members than someone asking a very sick person to go into a legally binding financial agreement that will be detrimental to their mental health and wellbeing when it (inevitably) goes wrong. Guarantors loans are terrible risks for the guarantor (no one will give a guarantor loan for that sum anyway - it's a mortgage, not a loan). Doing that to a very sick person would be cruel and borderline abuse.

    We hope it's a troll. Because if it isn't, that daughter is in need of one almighty b*tchslap back to reality.

    However, I hope you're right and this isn't true xxx
