Thurs 2nd October 08

Met Suzie our McMillan Nurse yesterday, She has explained a few things to us and also expressed that Jon and I need to talk about some difficult things which I dont think either of us are ready to do... but then again are u ever ready? It's great to know that the help is out there.

I also joined the Cancerbackup website yesterday they have some very helpful forums and last night I found they have a chat room. It was like a weight had lifted off my shoulders being able to type to other sufferers and carers like myself. I realize now Im not alone.

Friends and family have been fantastic but there are some questions only people who have been through it can answer. There were 8 people in the chat room yesterday, they made me feel very welcome and although I started out the conversation crying at my pc they had me laughing and looking forward to logging on to catch them and other new friends soon.

keep safe everyone
