Didi, this is so hard for you…i know how it feels. I was diagnosed in June 2011, my mum was diagnosed 2 weeks later and my sister a year later. We lost mum to sbc last august after i had been living with sbc for over a year before that. There is no rhyme or reason to this awful disease.
I heard on the news last night a speech made by Caroline Aherne, who as you probably know died from lung cancer yeaterday. Apparently her and her brother had retinal cancer from birth and were told by their mother that only very special people got cancer. Try to take heart from that. You will be a great help and support to your friend as i’m sure she has been to you. We are all here to listen and support. Much love.x
