E-mail received.
Greetings one & all,
Just received an e-mail stating that I hadn't posted for sometime now and that you miss me, well glad someone does (only joking) but it is true I havent posted many messages of recent times although I pop into this great web site almost on a daily basis however the reason I havent placed many messages for awhile is because we have been travelling back & forth to Nottingham to spend time with our youngest daughter who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is in the process of having that horrible chemo therapy to be followed by a mastectomy and she is not taking to kindly to it, I wouldn't mind the poor lass has run numerous half marathons for cancer research over the past few years now she has it.
My wife was diagnosed with the same problem a couple of years back got her back to normal now this has hit us, but looking on the bright side if all turns out well she should be OK please God.
Will do my best to reply to more messages in the future.
Best wishes to one and all especially health wise.

Hello John,
So sorry to read about your beloved daughter contracting breast cancer. It certainly must be a great worry to you and your wife. I am sure she will make a full recovery and be able to enjoy life again. Take care.
Regards,
John C.

Hi John I am sure your daughter will come through this OK, I am a monthly donator to Cancer Research UK and the mail they send me tells me that more and more ladies are being cured than ever before of this disease.
My son is an Oncologist and once worked for Cancer Research, he said Cancer cures are increasing all the time.
All the very best wishes to her.
Brian.

G'day John, good to see you are still around and O.K. Tell your daughter not to worry, both my mum and sister in law had the same problem some years ago. With the treatment available today there is light at the end of the tunnel, and plenty of it. Never ever give up mate, she will be alright.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Greetings John C, Vernon, Brian, Dennis & Happy Daze John,
Many thanks for your kind words of support I didn't expect so many replies I only mentioned her health to explain why I hadn't posted so much these days but it is nice to know that there are so many caring people out there so once again a big thank you.
Best wishes to you all.

Greetings Ron,
Many thanks for those kind words we are sure she will be alright when it is all over, ironically my wife had a mastectomy three years ago, she was 70 then and got over it, the strange thing was that my daughter had her first operation on the 6th of December last year the same date that my wife had hers three years earlier.
Once again many thanks for your kind thoughts.
Best wishes to you and all your family especially health wise.

John, We don't know each other, but I feel for your concern for your daughter as I have been through similar circumstances with one I love, with a happy conclusion I might add. You and your family will be in our prayers.
Rodney and Jeanmarie.
