Hi Hun

You again are showing the inner strength may of us can only but wish to have. You have your head screwed on straight and are being very realistic. I hope that you can stephanize the new house and maybe start on the nhs decor whilst waiting for the 2yr waiting window to pass!

It's fudge that things like this aways happen to the good ones, i'm sure joe and the girls will be ok you are very organised and won't leave anything to chance.... the saying if you want a job done properly do it yourself comes to mind. It's a shame that your medical was before the oncologist's appointment as it's more ammo for your claim/fight.

However congratualtions on finally getting a mortgage it must be a relief...you're amazing and are truly remarkable.... and i agree it's easier to get on with it and plod along though the hurdles than to watch from the side lines....

Keep going hun.... we're here for you and please let us know if you'd like us to start up a madmums pin cushion rota for you... i'm sure there are many of us who'd take one for you. You'll never walk alone hun we're all rooting for you! Big hugs and love to all..... xxxx

'He' ought to be very afraid!

Oh babe, I still can't get my head round this.  I'm just devastated, but what I'm feeling comes nowhere near to what you or your family are going through.

I just wish I was there for you more.

Just let me know if there is ANYTHING I cna do for you such as give those bloomin estate agent bods a swift kick up the arse.

Was watching House the other night...and there was something on there that made me think...apparently there are different stages to diagnosis..

Denial

Anger

Depression

Acceptance

So over the last year, i can deffo say ive had the first 3 and am now at the acceptance stage, which is a nice(ish) place to be.

Theres nothing anyone can do or say to make it better if that makes sense, just need to come to terms with it all in my head, which really takes a fair amount of doing.  A real case of oh s*d it, get on with it and make each thing count, its all anyone can do.

So when your kids are playing up...its not the end of the world.  Its a stage, even we were lil ratbags when we were kids (know i was).  Tell them everyday that you love them, no matter how much theyve wound you up all day.  Dish out the cuddles and the kisses whenever you want to...and if theyll let you, and even if they wont...as there might be one day, when you wont be able to.
