All my dear friends. I dont know how good this idea sounds - but would everyone like to contribute to at least one (or more) wish that he or she would like to see happen? To put down mine-
** I just wish I could manage to eat a solid meal and drink a glass of water orally through my mouth and get the damn peg out once and for all.

Hmm... Good one...
For myself, i would wish that i didn't have this horrible nerve damage in my hands and feet. So that i didn't keep loosing my shoes in the street and not realise it. & MAINLY so i could hold a pen or paintbrush and draw & paint again. I took for granted my gift of being able to paint when i had it. & now it's gone i miss it terribly. My hair will grown back, and being without choccy & crisps i've gotten over. But not being able to write and draw frustrates me to tears!!

How long have you got:

I wish

1. Cancer could be wiped out tomorrow
2. My husband didnt have it
3. All those people I see at the hospital every day didnt have it.
4. No body ever got it back again
5. I could go on holiday with my husband and kids again
6. I could go out for a meal with my husband
7. I could go out for a drink with my husband
8. Be a normal family again
9. All the damage done to survivours could be reversed
10. That I wasnt sitting here at 12.50 in the morning being angry with the world letting this s**** thing called cancer get me down
11. Please can I just twitch my nose and get back to where I was before this nightmare started

Hi Everyone,
I Second angiebaby's comments. That would be my wish list as well.

Ah Ananth my dear friend,

You do have a way of making us all think.

Were it only possible that wishes were granted for the asking I would second every wish that is made here.

I have to believe in the supernatural to maintain my Faith so you would think I could have Faith in wishes coming true wouldn't you?

But what I believe is that our spiritual persona is distinct from and survives our mortal body and is the Creation of one God; regardless of the name he is given.

Our God cares about our suffering and will give all of us - the afflicted, their families and carers and their medical teams, the strength needed to face adversity when we ask: and Ananth we see it reflected so much in these pages every day but do not give it either recognition or credit, but without such strength were would we be.

I wish God's Grace and Love be known and trusted by all. Alan

Hi All

I wish

Just to be a normal family again
doing everyday things that you take for granted

for all my friends here for their wishes to come true

Dave and Sue

Two wishes. 1,everyone who has or is suffering from cancer finds inner peace and no pain at some point. 2,Christina Aguillera comes to my house for tea

Dear Alan,
I second all your feelings and would like to add to them with some more things that may make things a little more complete - however that I will do tomorrow.

I just try my best to make everyone forget all that they have gone through or are going through by being the joker in the pack. It gives me so much pleasure when I read all your replies. I feel as though I have contributed in some way towards my family who are each one of you. Even though we have never met or probably will never meet - its a growing family and as we grow the bonding should strong and not distanced as it happens.
I am not going to bore you on this issue right now but watch out for my next post!!!

I forgot, please could I be 30 again forever and when I wake up in the morning someone has scrapped all the loose plaster off the ceiling which is what I should be doing now ready for the plasterer coming at 8am tomorrow.

Its difficult for me to wish for something without feeling a little bit guitly.This is due to the fact that I have come though the other side of the treatment.In a way my wish has been granted.Maybe another 10 kilos of weight gain.

My main wish is all on here are blessed with good fortune in the future

Well, if I leave aside the impossible - an end to all our suffering and that no-one else would have to suffer what so many of us here have suffered - then I'm left with just one wish, but it's a biggy ...

I wish I could have a loving, caring partner who can see beyond the physical scars & ignore the differences in lifestyle (like the inability to eat in restaurants etc) and see and accept the real me.

If you are lucky enough to have such a person in your life cherish them.

Hi Shells, read your post yesterday and wanted to reply but couldn't think of what to say. You sound like you are on your own. I hope that this site will can give you some encouragement and sollace.

Obviously there is big problem with your partner, I can't even think of any resolution but just to say I feel for you, off load your feelings here, there is always someone to listen and care.

All the best

Angie

Hi Angie
Thanks for your reply. My partner left me just a year ago - giving the cancer as one of the main reasons for the split - since then my wonderful friends on here have been my salvation.It's so good to know I can always 'talk' to people who understand.We all walk life's path alone but sometimes it is nice to have some company along the way.
Take care
Sheila

Sheila that's awful!
A man lilke that isn't worth being with anyway!
When i was diagnosed i sat with Amir & said look, this is gunna be the hardest thing we have to do, & i understand if you don't want to get into it. & A couple of times he threw back at me "WELL, I STOOD BY YOU" Like he should get some special comendation or something! Well, EXCUSE me! i'm not in debt to him for the rest of my life. He chose to sty with me. & i've put up with far worse cr*p from him! What he did was self inflicted & i still stayed with him.
I can understand why it would be hard to hold a relationship through such hard times. & it's awful that so many couples don't make it through together. But when Amir & myself fall out because of some cancer related issue, i remind him, that he KNEW what we were walking into. This is me now. He can take me or leave me. Cuz i know now, i'm strong enough to be on my own. If i can get over cancer i can get over him!
Sheila, i'm sure someone will come along when you least expect it! & if not, then as my mum says...
"Men are all the same, they just have different faces to tell 'em apart!"
