Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Mel. I know exactly what he and his family are going through and my love, thoughts and prayers are with them.

The reason I felt the need to post is this. My brother was diagnosed with the same type of cancer as Mel just over a year ago. He had a major operation to remove the tumor in July last year after only 2 chemo sessions and everything seemed great. The trouble was, he had an arythmia which delayed the operation after his chemo. I think this was a contributing factor for the cancer returning. On the 21st of December my brother was told that the cancer had spread to his lungs and liver, was inoperable and due to the chest infection and fluid on his lung, he wasn't strong enough to have any chemo or radiotherapy either. 2 weeks ago he was moved from hospital in Glasgow to the local hospice. He married his long term girlfriend on Saturday 2nd of February and died 24 hours later on the Sunday afternoon.

His birthday...........is the 8th of March. He would have been 64. This has come only 50 weeks since I lost my Mum and this has been the hardest 12 months of my life. The funeral was yesterday and on the first anniversary of my mum's passing, we will scatter my brother's ashes on the Clyde, just as my family did with my grandfather's ashes 40 years ago.

Neil Murray told me about Mel and I have passed my regards on through him. My hope is that Mel gets the care and support he needs, just as my brother did and, if there is any justice in the world, his treatment will be successful and the positive words and thoughts being sent to him through this board will make all the difference.

Im so sorry to hear all that, Sue, it moved me deeply. It is unbelievable how many people these days suffer under this damn f*** disease. Wherever you look, everywhere is someone. Having had 2 cases in my own family (including myself) I feel with you, Sue.
I wish there would be the same BIG campaigns on TV and other places against CANCER the way they do it for AIDS!
Its a shame.
I read Neils blog as well on MySpace and dropped a line, he is a great fellow.
My condolences to you and your family, Sue.

I'm Very sorry dear Sue. I think we must have Hope, this is the last thing that we lose. Death has passed many times around people that i love, and i learnt that we have to suffer the less pain we can because the important thing is to remember the people we lost (how he lived) and how he/she changed our lives. I know that is impossible but i think that's the most important thing

I've just met all you but in every problem i'll be with you all
