    Sure Sugarbaby Im sorry for your families trouble. We have also been effected in my immediate family, but not to your extent. I wish you good luck with your race.

    Thank you Bob for your donation and your kind, thoughtful words. At the moment my 2 brothers are fighting cancer, but there is no guarantee in the future that either of them will not get a secondary cancer, so all we do is hope and pray for them both. I am sorry to hear that someone in your immediate family has also been affected by cancer

  • argh just have to record my wombles before I forget them!

    extra £1.50 of sains rewards for spending over £15, used a triple points voucher as well. Also I thought the £1.50 of points was actually a £1.50 off coupon so I called the assistant over but I had already put it in the slot. He deducted £1.50 off the total but when I got outside I realised this was my mistake! :o So £1.50 to claim

    got given a composting darlik by an allotment neighbour £20

    just got 50p off a loaf of bread and £2.02 off of a block of cheese. will need to grate and freeze.

    Been given a gas bbq from a friend's parentals. Not sure what it is like yet so can't put a price on it. But I suspect it's good as their stuff always is!

    ok so as suspected it's a good un :D going to claim £50 as that's about what I could get something similar on fleabay for :T

    today mil is looking after madam for the day so that's £35 to the "not spent" pot :T yesterday she had her for 1/2 a day so will claim £22.50 (cm charges £4.50 ph or £35 pd)

    Over a £100 by 7.15 :money:

    That really is so sad. You always seem such a positive person . I'm sure that must be something they are glad of, even if you can't do much else. And of course fundraising will help in the long run.

    Hi Bob,

    My brother H has skin cancer which was diagnosed as terminal more than four years ago, he also has a form of angina, type 1 diabetes, hypertension and other less serious health conditions, but the important thing is that he is still here fighting and he has the best sense of humour in our family. I never phone him or visit him without him having me in tears of laughter. Of course he has days when he is quite literally terrified of dying but mostly he is upbeat. He was originally only given 2 years to live, so he has defied that prediction from the oncologist.

    My other brother R, is in remission, and each year he is, means he has less and less chance of getting a secondary cancer or of his cancer returning, which makes him count his blessings.

    There are days when it is really hard to be an orphan and yet even though I have my own health problems, I try to be forever refilling my cup daily with positive experiences. Because life is wonderful, exciting and a multi layered journey which I hope for me will be a very long journey

    So much sadness Toni's Friend. You wonder why it has to come at once.

    It must be so hard to receive a terminal diagnosis. For the patient and the family. I admire your courage and point of view in dealing with life.

    Interesting survey topic. Was that an online survey?
