Bundy,
Really thinking of you during this terrible time.
We had a similar scare last summer. My little sister ( I say little, she is 37 and weighs , well, over 10 stone) was diagnosed with cancer of the throat. I had just lost my friend from lung cancer and I thought my whole world had fell apart.
I went to work in a daze and came home in a daze, spent inbetween trying to act as if nothing was happening, but when alone breaking down in tears!
I remeber sitting in the bath, really weeping. the only place I felt I could really `let it all go`
Ten months on and she is fine, all clear, so there is light at the end of the tunnel.....
Take good care
love
sandra

Hey everyone...
Sorry - did quite make it on line yesterday. I'm afraid the news from this end is not good. It has been confirmed that my mum has both breast cancer and bone cancer, as we'd all feared. This being Jersey, things are sprinting ahead - CT scan this week, off to Guernsey for a bone scan next Weds, seeing the specialist in two weeks' time for the final verdict.
Yesterday was easily the worst day of my life. Just getting my dad into the hospital was a bit of a struggle and he spent most of the time before the appointment slumped over a radiator and funny shade of green. But they went in and I joined them for the talk with the Special Care Breast Nurse.
At this stage, they just don't know how far things have gone and whether the cancer has spread elsewhere. But it's safe to say that we have a real struggle on our hands.
So, that's the news. I've been so busy that I've barely stopped to think about it. In a way, things are better now that we know - a weird relief of sorts, I suppose. I've never seen my mum so low though, which is hard. Harder still to cope with my dad who has gone to pieces. And the worst moment was having to ring my younger brother to tell him. Not an experience I care to repeat in a hurry, so there had better be better news in a fortnight.
And just as we walked in from the hospital, the garage rang to say that my car is officially beyond repair. A good day all round, then.
Anyway, continued thanks for all your support and I will try to get round to your emails and PMs as soon as I can.
Go hug your mothers/fathers/brothers/sisters/wives/husbands/children.
And please will someone have a word with the Big Man upstairs for me?!

I'm so so sorry to hear this. Out of all the horrible thoughts & feelings that you must be going through, try & enjoy some nice days with your mum, thats what we did when we found out my nephew was dying last yr ( he was 14 with tumours on his lungs), we only got 4 days notice that he wasnt going to make it. This is not meant to upset you further, but to let you know how important & precious it is to find time for a laugh & some pleasant memories even though your heart is breaking. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Take care & try to eat & sleep as you will need your strength, & remember lots & lots of people have fought cancer & live to tell the tale....

Don't know what to say - I am sitting here with tears running down my face.
I am thinking of you all and having a good old swear at the Big Guy.

).
Funny how you can think about someone so much even when you don't know them.
Keep strong there Bundy.Mrs.Neal

So sorry to hear your news - my thoughts go out to you all. It's my shabbat (sabbath) tonight, & although I don't have a hotline to the Big Man Upstairs, I will light an extra sabbath candle for your family.......
Hugs to you all,
