The Bradford founder of the UK’s leading mouth cancer charity has won a top award for the best patient support initiative at the Pfizer Oncology Awards.


Congratulations and thank you for this website.

It has got me through some very dark days and answered some very searching questions, which I couldn't possibly have answered from anywhere else.

Thank you Dr Joshi

Hi Winnie

The link worked.

Congratulations Dr Joshi, I second Winnie in her comments to you. You and the website has been so helpful. Thank you.

Congratulations Vinod, the forum is brilliant. I hope it continues to help anyone who is unfortunate enough to need it. Well done. Hagg.

I am happy to see that Vinod has received a little of the recognition he deserves.
Keep Smiling
John

Dearest Vinod,
There could and would never be another better to be conferred. It just goes to show - how much you care.
We, both Sonya and I and of course the boys congratulate you as this is also the start of our new year.
Lots of love and hugs from the boys and I, and Sonya gives you yje kisses.
Ananth

That's brilliant, Vinod and so well-deserved. This site is a wonderful source of information and support.

Gwyn

Hi Vinod, I must say Hi as I not met you but even so I couldn't call you dearest as I and am sure you are not homosexual.

I think you should be proud of the job you are doing.

Keep it up god bless,

Nigel

I do imagine the word "Dearest" does not mean anyone is a homosexual or not. Its just that he is the dearest among other people I know and if you have a problem with it - keep your opinions to your self.Its those who keep screaming they are not gays who actually are! And who really cares what you are - an eunach for all i care - but gays - I have a lot of friends and they are in a class much higher then your level.Hope this sinks in as the radiation and other things seems to have hit your brains hard and the brain damage is far worse then imagined.
Ananth.

Now you all understand its people like this who freak me out.Iwould not care a damn about you but am doing so as Vinods name is mentioned here and I know he will delete this post and most probably remove me from the forum. However, that will be well worth it to give you a dose of your own sexuality and trust me you wont get away.By the way -are you an idiot by birth or just got this way in course of time?

" Dearest Vinod",

Do take the required steps to get me out from the forum. I had no intention of hurting anyone and hence had not been posting and I know its disturbing for others - but its also disturbing for me.
You decide what to do and let me know and I will abide by what you say,
Love and hugs.
Ananth

Dear Dr. Joshi - you certainly DESERVE any and all KUDOS!! You give a huge service! This forum helped my father adn I am eternely grateful!!

And Dear Ananth - you are correct calling someone Dearest has nothing to do with one's sexuality and I would further agree even if one was gay - WHO CARES?!?! I am Sorry Nigel chose such poor wording. His words are very inapropriate as Dr. Joshi is THE DEAREST!!

Many thanks to this board!!!!

I totally agree with HelpingDad! Ananth's greeting to Vinod was completely appropriate and is fully-deserved.

Regards
Gwyn

Dearest HelpingDad,
Thank you for standing up for me and I really do appreciate it. Regarding our tiff - I am really sorry and apologise with all my heart. English,is they say, a strange langauge, where things can be taken in various meaning and that is what I really imagined.
life is not too long and you never harmed me intentionally. You just retaliated to some stupidness on my part and have ever right to - and even now you do have so.
I'd like to cut short that tiff and see you posting on the forum.Life has become dull without you around - and no more boxing around. I think I got hit hard enough and you do win on the basis of a technical knockout.
Take care and lots of love, kisses and hugs ( genuinely meant and sent),
Ananth.

Good Morning,
This theme was started to tell us of an award given to our leader, I find it sad that it seems to have descended into a public squabble which hardly fits in with the reason for the award.
May I suggest two points
1) If we have a personal issue to discuss we do it via the private message facility.
2) We are part of a worlwide dicussion group so perhaps we should try to accommodate the differences between thinking as we cross international borders.

Now can we draw a line and start again.

CONGRATULATIONS Dr. JOSHI
Keep Smiling
John

Dearest John,
Yes I agre with you about the line , so let me second you by wishing:
Dearest Vinod,
Many many congratulations on your achievement. Its really super.
I think we are all proud we have the pleasure of knowing you and even more the love and advise you give us.
With love and hugs,
Ananth

Too much stress on this forum sometimes .
