Dear Maurice,
I am thinking very positive thoughts about you. What Rosemary said is so absolutely right. It is great that the family can help in so many little ways and the psychological help it will do you is immeasurable. You are going through a really rough nasty time at the moment. And you write about it so vividly and calmly and clearly.
The only good thing I have discoverwed about this ghastly disease is that I am more philosophical than I ever dreamed possible.
Small things become big victories. A bit of bad news I just push at the back of my mind in tnhje Futures box. That sounds very glib I know, but it gets me by. And of course the day at a time and not projecting.
Every bit of luck and good cheer possible. Ishbel

Hi all, must say thanks to everyone including Ishbel and Rosemary for your kind and helpful words. This site is amazing for me as people I don't know from all over care so much. I just hope I can repay the help I am getting in the future. Don't feel I can at present as I have not yet (for want of a better word) got the scars of battle. But if my diary helps in some way well I fell very proud.
Cheers Maurice
