Re: Big brother will watch you
Absolutely brilliant news John I gave up over 28 years ago and absolutely glad I did only problem is I got a lot more sense of taste and eat more so it said of dying of COPD or some other lung disease I'll probably just go with being overweight

Re: Big brother will watch you
keith getting results and the consultant telling you that you have cancer is a great shock and you do bounce bottom but your son is in good hands cancer is not what it used to be years ago it can be overcome the worst part is going around your mind all the time cancer cancer cancer times its like a dream a bad dream his is in for the fight of his life but he will win. my choice was the knife cut it out no chemo radium the knife I just wanted it out of me? just stand by him he will have down days and sometimes bad news but they will fight with him to cure him message me or ring me I will gladly talk to anyone going through cancer just stand by him be there that's all and for Christ sake don't ask him every 5 minutes are you ok carry on as normal? I do hope he will win his fight mate ring anytime I will give you my number its good to get first hand of a cancer victim? jp

Re: Big brother will watch you
John mate, like you I had the shock, of being told I had the big C.
Mine was Prostate but funny thing the wife worried more than I did.
All fixed now but yes it does give a shock at the time.
But now you have the all clear you will be fine, just take it easy and think I can do this, now it is beaten nothing can hold me back.
Positive attitude is one of the ways to look forward John.

Re: Big brother will watch you
Thanks for your message John P, like you say , he is in good spirit, and a fighter. He has relative youth on his side, he is 48, and apparently this type of cancer normally affects those in later life. So I thank you for your kind words, good to get positive messages from those that have been through it, regards kt
