A very early morning to you all 00.31am , im unable to sleep to being on so many tablets and its take one for that pain put the next tablets you take cuts the other one you just taken out cant win . well as most of you know on here i have terminal bone cancer and in not just about to let this cancer get me just yet . i know this is not a gardening matter but feel you and my friends on here will be able to help me . on march the 4th im doing dvd a first we think ever done with southend onclology dept , myself and a doctor called ginnie graig and a oncloogy councilar . this dvd is going to be made in the help it will hell patients and there familys cope with the shock of cancer , also this dvd is going to help nurses and doctors not just from southend hospital to see what is really going on with how to ask the patient things and also to tall patients how to get things as its a mine field out there with endless form filling when your dieing , the Macmillian cancer trust have been fantastic to me my jane and family even down to a free holiday. im looking to help raise for funds for them as everylittle i can do will help plus it keeps me smiling and happy even when im down . ive even got the local bbc radio now wanting to help and a guy from bondi rescue known as kerrbox on the show real nane rob kerr BONDI RESCUE and also a world wide surfer. if everybody was to donate £1 just how much could we raise for this good cause. i hope it never happens but one day you or your loved one or family member could catch cancer and you would ring macmillan and they would be there for you and help you out as they did us . if you need them after there again thank you members and friends for taking the time to read this . the sun is coming mark my word and i want to be back in my cottage garden . thanks mark

Its a vicious circle when the meds fight against each other, hoping you did get some rest. I like your positive attitude Mark and hope all goes well with the DVD..

The very best of luck I know how helpful any information is at a time like you are going through as my OH had an earlier diagnose of Prostate Cancer and with 8 weeks of radio therapy has had a 99 per cent cure ( one of the lucky ones )at the time the Macmillian help was invaluable and I have done the race for life every year since ( walk I should say lol ) once again good luck -:)

I knew a lady 25 years ago who had the diagnosis, and she said " I told them I havent got it, and I wont listen to you." She carried on with her life.
They took a Youth Hostel. She told me her mind was on that hostel from the time she woke up to the time she went to bed, she didnt have time to think about herself.
A few years ago I heard she and her husband had retired from the Youth Hostel, and bought a house in the same road.
I never forgot her.
I have stomach trouble but I find if I stay on the same food all the time its no worse. Best to stick with what works and live a quiet life.

I enjoyed reading your blog as its good to hear the positive attitudes that can come out of cancer which can help so many to get through it. Good luck with your hard cancer journey Mark and I wish you all the best with your DVD, good on you!

The dvd sounds like a good idea. Have donated to macmiilan nurses in the past and will continue to do so. They are fantastic, as have had family members and friends who have received their support.
