Yes I agree Belinda. I am the person that named you Wayne, despite the fact it was obvious to anyone that had read the other thread.
Lets keep to the other thread and support each other.

Hi ladies - and gent 
It is rather confusing to have two threads of the same title going on - it will be confusing enough when the new site gets us all in a fuddle, let alone identical titles 
Maybe we should stick to the older one and as this is an open forum there’s no reason why a partner can’t post on it, anywhere. Let’s continue to support each other and btw, Julie, of course we all knew it was Wayne - who else USES CAPITALS LOL.

Hi
Glad to hear from Wayne again. I shall stick to the older thread also. I agree with Wayne, nobody has to do anything he suggests, he is simply sharing information. Finty et al brought up the subject of the cyber/gamma knife. I would have been completely ignorant of that treatment otherwise. I feel it’s important to have that knowledge in the light of the vageries of different health authorities. I am fortunate in my care and haven’t had to fight for radical treatment, but I am aware that my treatment may well have not been offered in quite the same manner in another area.

Hi everyone
If you’re all happier to stick to the other thread, I’m happy to close this thread (or even remove it entirely if you prefer) to avoid any further confusion. Feel free to contact us privately (moderator@breastcancercare.org.uk) if you prefer, or just post here.
Thanks
Leah
Hi Leah, to avoid confusion I think it might be better to remove rather than close the thread.
Best Wishes.
I feel rather sad about all this. Two threads. We have managed fine with the one thread for a long time and I have made friends with many ladies who have similar problems as I do…Bone Mets. Yet I also read and post on the thread for people who have liver mets and I have been made welcome even though I don’t have liver mets myself. Anyone is free to join any thread to seek advice, get support, give support. I don’t always agree with what everyone thinks, for example miracle diets and cures.
Sometimes I become frustrated when people take offence or get angry over something or other. No-one can please the people all of the time but being civil and caring towards others who are struggling is essential. We may not always agree with something and we can say so. I would like to add that I often use capital letters or lots of dots…in my thread if this causes offence…hard luck. I have more important things in my life to deal with. I do not want to exclude anyone for our original thread and hope that the lady who started the second thread will come back and join us there.
Leah, I personally would prefer one thread only with this similar title. But I would hate to upset the lady who felt the need to start a new one. Thanks, love to all, Val
Hi Val, yes I agree, completely, with all of your above post…x
Hi Val & Belinda
From reading through the posts, it appears that the original poster would also be OK with this thread not continuing, but I’m happy to be corrected on this.
What I could do is close the thread this evening (before the forum goes read-only for the switch-over to the new site) and then make a final decision about removing it or not when the new site launches.
That will give everyone a chance to read the discussion that’s been going on on this thread, rather than just wondering where it’s disappeared to, but people won’t be able to add to it, so it should be less confusing.
Leah
I’ve been wary of joining either thread even though I’ve bone mets for fear of upsetting others - or getting upset myself. So I hope we can have one useful thread for all to contribute to
Hi
I’m going to close the thread for now, to avoid the confusion of having two active threads. We can make a final decision about closing/removing this thread when the forum switches over on the new site. As I said above, I’m happy to hear people’s thoughts by email, if you feel strongly either way.
thanks for all your thoughtful contributions
Leah
