Default Inverted snobbery.... yawn. (rather OT)

Judith,

Hi, and thank you so much,

I thought it would be nice to illustrate a 'happy scenario' after a
diagnosis of cancer.

(My wife is in no pain, appears very well, although often muddled, and we
have a really terrific, happy time together - every day, despite her
limitations).

We even both got out into the garden today!

Take care,

Keith

For
example, having had cancer treatment last year, my veg garden got
right on top of me.


Oh my Darling man, my heart goes out to you, all day yesterday, my
birthday I was thinking of my mum who died at 49 of cancer and my
beloved sister who died just a few years ago with cancer of the spine,
Daddy died 16 weeks after her and then I had a lcancedrous lump
removed. But you are going through this now and even though I don't
know you, if I can help in any way whatever, you only have to email me
and I will give you my telephone number.

By concidence I have an extremely good idea about how cancer can disrupt
things. My wife, who I look after, and who lives at home, has needed 24
hour
care through a brain tumour that took a hold many years ago. Needless to
say
my gardening time is somewhat limited. The consultant told me back in
1988
that she might be fortunate and have around another ten years to live. We
too therefore have been aware of how short life is... for a very long
time.


Thank God she has proved him wrong and I'll bet those years you have
had have been precious, this is too personal for a newsgroup so I will
end here and with it my warmest best wishes go to you and your wife.
