After speaking to Wes, Annie (sixpens) husband, we thought we should let you know that Annie is seriously ill. She had emergency CT scan and MRI scan about 10 days ago, after her eye sight was failing, being sick and other symptoms.
Sadly Annie has aggressive spreads to her liver and lungs, but also to the lining of her brain, and there is nothing that can be done now for her. Annie has no quality of life now, can hardly see or speak.
We are all completely devastated about this, and it has happened really fast. It has only been about 6 weeks since everything started to happen.
Annie is such a lovely, courageous lady, with so much to live for and life is so unfair and unjust. Her smile and her humour are amazing, and she has so much love to share with everyone and her support has been the best for me this year. Life is not the same anymore, as myself, Annie and Fay chatted everynight and had become very very close.
My heart goes out to Wes and their little son.
Thinking of you Annie and sending you so much love and cuddles, and wish there was something someone could do for you.
Oh Dawn
I have found out this today as well after e mailing anne and getting a reply from her husband. I didn’t know whether I should post or not. I am glad that you have.
I am so shocked that this should have happened let alone so quickly. Anne was always the one on live chat who could make light of things and make people feel better.
I am so so sad that she is so poorly.
My love goes to Anne her hubby her little boy and the rest of the family.
Caroline
I did the live chat a couple of weeks ago for the first time and Sixpens was on and seemed positive and bright. I am sorry for you that your friend is so ill and, of course, sorry for her husband and young son…thinking of them, not that that does much good…
Ena
This is indeed devastating news and I am so so shocked. I don’t come on livechat often these days but when I was more regularly earlier in the year, I so enjoyed chatting with Sixpen. She (and Angee) kept making me laugh when I was recovering from my surgery.
Caroline and Dawn, if you are in touch with Anne and Wes, please say that I am thinking of them and of their little son. This disease is just so cruel.
Thank you for letting us know this terribly sad turn of events, it is just unbelievably unfair. I hope Sixpen is as comfortable as possible and is managing to enjoy time with her young son and husband, and of course, hoping for some kind of miracle.
Thanks for posting, Dawn. It has been a real shock at how quickly cancer has spread for her.
I haven’t posted for a long time as I have been quite unwell and depressed in recent months and Anne has been a great help and voice of reason to me during my dark hours. These forums and the Tuesday night chat were a lifeline to both Anne & me when we were first diagnosed last year. And then we found Dawn & Fay! I am glad Kay remembers us making her laugh and we often commented on how we perhaps laughed too much on secondary chat nights and perhaps should have been more serious. Anne has been great and we have shared so many thoughts and fears and laughs over the last year. It was great to hear her lovely voice this evening. I have often told her I love her, that she is fab (don’t think she believed me!) and will continue telling her so via her lovely husband.
I am so shocked and saddened by this news. I remember chatting frequently with her and the rest of you on the live chat. I am so sorry that this has happened so quickly as it gives her and her loved ones so little time to prepare.
My heart goes out to all of you. This is such a cruel disease.
Love Kate
Just to add my feelings of sadness, I have not mastered the art of the live chat still on my must do list. I hope Annie is as comfortable as she can be and I am sending my love and best wishes for all her family at this very difficult time. This is a filthy cruel disease.
Oh Dawn I’m just so sad to log on and read this…when Anne was first diagnosed we exchanged a couple of emails and she sent me a pic of her and her lovely family. I was really hoping she would have some time with her little boy. So sad and cruel. Love Belinda…x.x.x
Oh… so so sudden.
This deterioration is just so unfair.
Although I haven’t been in contact with Sixpen myself, I have read her postings for many months and often thought of her.
What can I add - my hopes for comfort and peace for Annie and her husband and son, family and friends, somehow, even at this dark time.
L****
So very sorry … sounds like Lisa was at the end. We now know that the cancer cells had spread throughout her brain too. So very cruel for Annie and her family and with such a young son too. I had postings from her. Such a horrible disease and it takes over so quickly. You just feel so helpless. I just hope that she is comfortable. Her poor family too. My heart goes out to all of them.
Love Sue x
I spoke wiv Annie this evening on the phone, and she managed to speak quite well, although at times a bit hard to understand, but at others very very clear. And, although I managed to make her laugh and smile, I also made her cry, so we both ended up in tears. But Wes said it is the most she has smile and talked for a week, and it made my week I can tell you, to hear her voice.
Just thought u would all like to know. And I told her all about the lovely messages you were all posting. Hopefully cheered her up too.
hi this is wes anne’s husband.

anne isnt in any pain as the zomorph tablets she is on are keeping it at bay.

wes
p.s a big thank you to dawn and faye chatting to me on msn and helping me through this crap time.
it really does mean alot thank you. xxx
I just can’t believe how fast this has gone. Sorry, I am really at a loss for words. I wish I could express how deeply I feel for Annie, her husband and little boy. If there is one thing that should’ve never been it’s this c…y disease!!! All my best wishes go out to Anne and her family
I cannot believe how quickly this has happened for Anne and I am so sad for her and for her husband and son,…I am so shocked and saddened and my heart gos out to all three of them, Cathyxxx
I cannot express in words how shocked and saddened I was to hear the news about Anne. I found out the same time as dm1968 and still cannot believe it. She has been an enormous help to me, after my secondary diagnoses her love and support have been second to none. We have been through a lot together, the ups and the downs and her great sense of humour and quick wit have lightened the mood and made things bearable.
dm1968 myself and Anne have chatted almost every night on msn and it has been an honour and a privilege to get to know her and I consider her one of my closest friends.
Wes, no not need to thank me for being there, I am thankful that you keep me up to date on how Anne is doing, and only wish there was more I could do for you, for Anne and for little k.
Like Jennywren I am hoping for some kind of miracle.
