Also don't be sorry, just one of those birthdays where I couldn't be arsed to do anything :rotfl:'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good'0 -

That is sad news
but on the positive side, 90% of childhood cancers are cured these days compared to 10% in 1970. Kids adapt so well to things and she will too :A
And there's so many leaps and bounds in treatments and adaptations that hope is literally always around the corner.0 -

I've read somewhere recently that medical degrees have a much higher drop out rate than any others. That's a good thing in my view. If you can't stick it out until the end, you shouldn't be doing it! The training is tough for a reason. There's nothing more precious than people's lives.
They certainly do. And I totally agree if they can't stand the pace, or what is thrown at them now it will only get more difficult and it's not something you can hold onto by a thread. I am thankful every year that DD2 has got through in one piece.0 -
