It’s a terrible disease - you don’t realize until you’ve witnessed it, just how terrible and destructive it is - takes everything from you until there’s nothing left to take.
And once it’s done, then you get the gift of end of life
Bravery is an understatement - you’d think there’d be some sort of justice after everything they endured 
I totally agree that it’s evil , and that the treatments can be brutal too but there is a glimmer of hope for some !
Simnce my wife’s death I have have had two surgical procedures for removing malignant melanoma ! One was successful and waiting for news on the other !
Truly terrible, cruel and unfair !

Unlike me, my wife had a faith and would ask “Why me god - what have i done to deserve this ?” … But its a lottery, an evil lottery for many with good honest caring god fearing people struck down … so wrong
But sadly as a friend of mine who was a nurse said … we are all gonna die one day and thats true. But its just sad for us to watch our most loved one go through it isnt it
Its hard going through a cancer diagnosis and treatment but at least i had my husband to support me. Now i go through tests and scans on my own every 3 months for another 7 years. I am aware of reoccurrence but i am positive it wont happen.
Life is short look after yourselves
I intend to be here for as long as i can as my husband would wish me to fight and get through this hurdle.
I also volunteer with MacMillan and Target Ovarian cancer organisations and plan on helping on the upcoming marathons.

Some days i feel as though i am sleepwalking through my life
My daughters and my grandchildren and my sister are priceless and help me keep going.
Hope is another of cancer’s gifts - just to balance the physical pain with a dash of psychological pain for perfect recipe
Thats hard to face on your own - hope you have family & friends around
Volunteering is a great thing, i do a lot through Rotary but planning on seeing what I can do for Sue Ryder (Thorpe Hall), I cant put a price on what they have done for Elissa and I. Their lovely nurse has become a real friend even though retired and helps me keep my sh1t in together and my life in perspective.
I used to to believe that god had reasons for everything but now I don’t believe it anymore as why did he take our wives husbands partners if he had all the answers
I’ve never been religious, but imo, if there is a god, he left the building a while ago
Yeah I know what you mean, it changes who you are.
Suppose its bound to - your world just becomes that much darker
Goodnight all - love to all, hope some of us get some sleep tonight xx
Goodnight …me too ! Had enough of today x
My mam died when she was 59 with cancer I was only 23 , my dad died with cancer when he was 82 , my husband died with cancer when he was 59 , do I have to live this lonely , horrible life , waiting till I’m 82 to also die of cancer . Cancer has took everyone away from me , who loved me unconditionally and looked after me . You could say cancer has always been a part of my life . Hating isn’t a strong enough word for what I feel about cancer .X
@MemoriesOfUs , thank you , my husband helped me so much with the loss of my parents , He was a diamond , The pain and devastation of lossing him was heartbreaking , He can’t help me with his loss

I just wish that everyone could have a full body scan once a year. It seems that a lot of money is going into cancer which seems to help some people with new drugs and treatment but still one in two people will get cancer in their life time. My poor husband never stood a chance as died of undiagnosed kidney cancer. He had just turned 53 years old. Life is so unfair and cruel.
Totally agree with you . There must be more they can do , I know it would cost a lot to have these full scans yearly , but it would save lives and save us the bereaved from all this heartbreak and loneliness , I’m not very clever , but it might even be cost affected, I’m sure cancer treatment , hospital stays and all the other stuff must cost a lot as well . All these young people losing there lives , is so wrong . More lives saved , more people being able to continue to work , must help the economy, by them paying tax and national insurance. … When my husband was diagnosed with cancer , he quoted that one in two people get cancer , he said that he had got it so I didn’t have to . Bless him . Me being me said it doesn’t work like that . X
Probably would.save a lot of money too with treatment etc . You need to stand as an MP hazel. Lol … this government will be out at next election anyway - pretty sure about that ! X
So sorry
