    My dad has had a emergency biopsy this week luckily it’s not cancer, it certainly puts things into perspective.

    I’m so sorry to hear that! It certainly put everything into perspective and makes you realise that most of what we whine and moan about is truly small and irrelevant, we would all enjoy life more if we focused on what we have and realise life itself is a gift!

    I truly wish I could offer words or help for you but if I know whatever I say won’t help the situation. But please if you need a chat or a rant or anything just drop me a PM.

    Terrible news but please don't despair. My wife was diagnosed last May and, after surgery and treatment, is fine now. The shock is awful and I'll never forget being in the room for the diagnosis. Things will move quickly now and there'll be a lot to take in but stay positive.

    Please feel free to get in touch with me if you want to chat.

    So sorry to hear your news - if it helps continue posting here.

    Very sorry to read your families news. What an awful day.

    My father collapsed in the hall and he’d had a AAA.... he then spent 6 months in hospital and reduced in size from 16 stone to 7 stone, and with a paralysed leg. You’re right, the small stuff doesn’t matter. Interestingly though, very shortly after he got home he treated himself to that Rolex he’d always wanted.

    That is terrible news, really sad to hear it and definitely puts things in perspective.

    As you say one friend survived so there is hope. All the best to you and your family throughout this.

    We lost my wife's mum to lung cancer this year.

    No matter how aware you are, or prepared you think you will be, it is still a shock and loss.

    All the very best to you and your family. Be strong and be together.

    My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Nobody is going to care about that! This place, I have found over the years, is full of a variety of people who have already gone through most things in life... I don't think anyone would agree that you need to stay quiet here just because its "watch talk".

    Bugger. That's tough. There are some amazing new treatments coming through and it can help to volunteer for trials if needed. There are also very effective alternative treatments that can make a big difference - my friend funded her Dads alternative stage four treatment through GoFundMe - or the like. Good luck

    Cancer has no respect for anyone, wishing all affected in some by this all the best, have had cancer sufferers in my family and know where you are at.

    I know all too well the feeling of helplessness you're experiencing right now.
    It's easy to say, but try to stay strong and positive...
    I hope everything turns out ok in the end.

    Myself and my two nieghbours were all diagnosed roughly 2 & a half years ago with the big C. One nieghbour has lost most of his throat, but is still alive being fed by a pipe. My other nieghbour lost her fight last month. For me lifes goes on! We are all 61 to 62 years of age. I do hope your sister in law will be fine Mannu!

    Those who care for cancer patients are amongst the most wonderful people on the planet and charities like Macmillan provide a wealth of support. You are all going to go through a gamut of emotions so always remember that there are many people who will help on the journey. It's good to share.
    Take care, Matthew
