Hi lovely ladies, Hope you don't mind me offloading on here, no need for replies, just wanted to let off some steam really. I'm posting on here rather than FB as I am connected with relatives on FB and they don't all know yet about what I want to say. A relative, my dear Aunt, has just been diagnosed with late stage lung cancer so we're all reeling a bit. Went to a different Aunt's funeral last Friday, also cancer, so it's bringing back all sorts of angst for me (my Mum was one of 16 children and so far we've lost 4 to cancer of different types). I HATE this awful disease! I just wish there was something I could do to help but I know there just isn't. Also, selfishly, I'm wondering if we have some sort of dodgy gene in the family or if it's just normal to lose this many relatives to cancer. They are all in their 70s or older now so perhaps it's just normal. Sigh. Getting older is much more difficult than I thought it would be. Anyway, sorry for the morose post, just feeling low this weekend but sure I'll pick up again soon. xx Sharon
