Message for Rizzo & Photolady Hi girls
Just thought I’d let you know my mum’s been diagnosed with terminal cancer, looks like the primary’s on the lung & a secondary in the rib/vertebrae.
I’m finding it really hard as it’s so soon after my own diagnosis. She’s dealing with it very well, and seems to be in a better frame of mind than she has done for ages, she says it’s because she knows for sure now what’s wrong with her.
I think she’ll just be having some radiotherapy to help with the pain in her back, chemo’s out of the question because of all her other problems.
Sorry to moan on, but we’ve also got major problems with my in-laws!! Mum in law had a mini stroke last weekend and is now completely immobile. Father in law, who’s 88 has been her main carer for some years. Today, he’s just thrown in the towel really. He’s totally exhausted, physically & mentally. We’re off on holiday to France in the morning & have been frantically trying to find a respite bed for mum in law so her OH can have a rest. Just waiting by the phone now for developments.
I don’t know what we’ve done to deserve all this, but I’ve reached the point now where I’m just thinking what the hell’s going to go wrong next?
We’re determined to have this holiday no matter what so will be turning the mobiles off when we reach the airport tomorrow morning!
Hope you are both OK and feeling more cheerful than I am!
Be in touch when we get back.

What a series of family disasters! Sue
I feel so sorry for you having to deal with all the family isues just when you should be feeling on top of the world having completed your treatment. I know you won’t get this until you get back - I do hope you have a lovely break in France - you deserved it!

Bonjour! Hi girls,
Yes we actually managed to get on the plane without any more major catastrophes, and had a lovely holiday. I’ve come back feeling a lot calmer about things here at home - don’t know how long that will last tho’.
How are you both doing at the moment? I’m getting v impatient with my hair - it’s all come back but doesn’t appear to be getting any longer and still looks like a very severe crew cut. Looks like I’ll definitely be getting a big hat for my son’s wedding in September!
Hope you’re both OK.
Sue
