Why was cancer not spotted?

seven-day-weekend

My husband took some people to see John this lunchtime.

John died just as they got there, with his wife and family with him. It was very peaceful and he did not suffer.

My husband and another friend will be playing and singing three songs at his funeral, as John had requested.

Thanks for all the support from this thread.

R.I.P. John.

I will be thinking of his wife and also you and your husband at this sad time.

Very sorry for your loss, seven-day-weekend.

Please pray, hold in thoughts, remember, light a candle for -whatever you do- for John's wife and family and also for my husband who has lost his good friend (he was my friend too, but he and my husband had a special bond).

John was a practising Christian, as we are, so we believe he has gone to a good place, but very sad for those left behind. I will tell his wife about all the support and good wishes on this thread at an appropriate time. John would have loved it, he was a friendly and generous person and knew loads of people, he would be chuffed to bits to know so many people were wishing him well.

It was John's funeral today.

The family had a small private service at the crematorium.

Then they had a Celebration at the church John and his wife attended. It was wonderful. Plenty of singing (John had chosen most of the songs before he died), very joyful and plenty of testimonies from people who knew and loved him. My husband and his friend sang three of the songs, as John had requested.

A great send-off, the church was packed, there must have been 300 people there.

Just as he would have wanted it.

Enjoy your heavenly banquet, John.


May the whisper
of the Father
be the one that wakens you;
the open hand
of the Son
be the one that raises you;
the prompting
of the Spirit
be the one that sends you,
this morning
and all mornings,
and leads you safely home. Amen.

The NHS is not perfect! That's a given, I have seen two members of my family die, when even the doctors who treated them admitted with timlier intervetion, they would have lived.

I owe my life to the NHS, I was born 14 weeks early in 1990, if it wasn't for the NHS I wouldn't be alive today.
BUT
This year I was diagnosed with 2 separate heart diseases, one of which can kill me at any time and I have sufferd from since conception, the other is due to being born early, I had the symptoms for 10 years and was told repeatedly the palpitations, dizziness, chest pressure and chest pain was nornal and nothing to worry about, when I asked if it was possible if I had a heart condition I was told it was "almost impossible for an 18 year old to have a heart condition and that it's accidents and suicide that kills people my age"
I have lost my faith in the NHS
