Cancer

[Trumo]

OK' date=' before I press play, I have two questions.

 

1) Is this work safe ?

 

2) This is a video of Simon and not the Proclaimers ?[/quote']

 

1 - Is is definitely worksafe, but you might need to consider that it might take a while for you to resume your work duties as you recover from the prolonged bout of stunned silence.

 

2 - You'll just have to watch it!

Just read the thread and I really don't know what to say LF apart from congratulations on the wedding. I truly hope you have a kick arse day, with ale and cake.

 

Get a cake made out of bacon.

 

Bacon.

Looking like Tuesday the 30th now.

 

Honeymoon in the BRI for chemo.

 

We toyed with that idea, but went to the Lakes.

 

Hope it all goes well mate, keep us informed won't you.

[lifetime fan]

Cheers Jim. We're getting married in Gertlush's neck of the woods too.

 

 

Great shout on the bacon Malarkey.

I didn't know it when he was alive, but my dad was apparently given only a few months. He went 5 or 6 years, the fucking ox that he was. And they were probably the 5 or 6 best years we ever had with him.

 

That isn't the most amazing bit, though. The most amazing bit was that even up until the day he died I had no idea he had cancer. Not a clue.

Nobody did! He just kept it all to himself, for 6 whole years, so as not to disrupt our lives and so we would always treat him the same way we always had done. Only he and my Mum knew.

 

For quite a long time I was angry with him for that, but over time it just made me realise what a truly remarkable thing it was that he'd done for the people who loved him, and that's what made him such a remarkable man. I can't even imagine having to go through that alone.

 

My old man. My only real hero in this life.

 

Fuck, got tears reading that.

Stand up for cancer on Chanel 4 right now. Not a dry eye from me and the Mrs and already 20 quid down. Gonna be a long night

[Anubis]

We got The Sopranos on, can't be watching that.

Bet you see it everywhere you look at the moment....like pregnant women when you've had a miscarriage

Understand fella. Can't imagine what your going through. I spoke to my Mrs about you earlier Lifetime and she went no worries this is another tenner for lifetime then. We have had a tenner for her cousins wife with terminal cancer, a tenner for her uncle who died from pancreas cancer a tenner for my grandma who had cancer and a tenner for one of the videos that we watched on the guy with two kids with 8 tumours.

Almost lost it with some poor tart in tescos the other day.

 

The dividers you use for the shopping belts have a barcode on for staff to quickly scan through a donation as you pay for your groceries. Think tesco may be backing this stand up to cancer awareness event.

 

As I'm trying to pay the girl on the till asks me if I want to make a donation, I tell her yeah and how much. Trouble is each scan is a quid so she's having to swipe it a few times.

 

I'm really not in the mood for a conversation and she starts with;

 

That's generous, do you know someone with cancer?

How long ago did they have it?

Were they old?

How long have they been better?

It's amazing the cure for cancer isn't it?

 

I know it wasn't her fault but Christ it took every ounce of restraint I had not to verbally tear her head off. That or just cry.

[Champ]

You wouldn't be crying on your own, mate

[halewood pete]

While we can dream of a cure for cancer, treating stupidity is altogether another matter.

We havent spoken but I have admired your posts. I wish you and your good lady all the very best.

It's not spread to anywhere else we didn't know about.

That was so hard scrolling down to read your post.

 

That has to be good news, doesnt it? If you dont mind, can you tell us how she is and what the treatment plan is? x

[lifetime fan]

3 months of chemo and then rescan. They still won't talk about time scales until she's had the first bout of chemo and see if they can localise/shrink the tumour.
