Hello All

Shelley and a few others have asked me about having a chatroom. I thought " Yes, why not? Let's have one."

Then I spoke to my :geek: webmaster who says that we should only proceed to having a chatroom when our active membership of the board increases, and the frequency of postings has increased

Otherwise, we could end up with a sparsely attended :boxedin: chatroom

Our message board is still very young and perhaps, we need to let it grow a bit more. What do you think?

Best wishes

i would be in...i am going to pass this site along to some new friends i met during treatment at md anderson...could we link to some other sites to increase size

I agree on promoting this site then we can really get it up and moving - I will definitely do my bit

HI, I agree a chat room would be a good idea. it would be nice to chat to people when they are in need.I had a scare last week a lump appeared in my mouth and I had to wait a week for the result and would have really liked being able to talk to fellow sufferers about the anguish. :sigh:
I will pass on information of the site to my fellow suffers at the Middlesex LDN.

Hi Nicky soory to hear about your cancer what shocks me today is the number of young people that are getting it so I should be grateful I had 62 excellent health and was I thought still on good health until a pesky dentist saw a red mark under tongue it sounds like your boys ahve welsh names as you say you start to wonder whats it all about the lottery no good if you dont have health

Hello Nicky

Welcome back. Hope you are feeling okay .

I was in Birmingham last Friday/Saturday for a conference at the ICC and stayed next door at the Hyatt that is linked to it by a bridge! I was most impressed by the facilities. It looks like a lovely city. Do you live in the city?

Best wishes

I was reading back on previous posts and noticed this one about a chat room,as it was a good few years ago, has there been any word of there being one

Hello Julie

Our thinking then was that much useful information would be lost to members as 'chat' is not archieved, and that members could contact one another on any of the chat programs like MSN, AOL or Yahoo. If there is enough demand for it, we could consider it again. So, let me hear your views below.

Best wishes

I personally would love a chat room, just to chat to others in need

I think we could be ready now for a chatroom. I think that having one will increase the interest in this site.
The sooner the better. I will no doubt be one of the frequent users.
