mel b3 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 as one or two of you guys already know , my wife spent last year fighting breast cancer . after watching her go through the pain and fear of a massive operation then the misery of chemotherapy and radiotherapy she was just about worn out . today i've had the very great pleasure of watching her take part in and complete a 5km race for life in aid of cancer research , i've never been so proud , to see all those women running (some obviously still undergoing chemotherapy) for such a good cause was truly heart warming , i didn't actually see my good lady pass the finishing line as i think i got a bit of dust or something in my eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham M Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Mel, a couple of years ago my wife had to go and have a check-up at Selly-Oak hospital after finding a lump. It turned out to be a cyst and was drained there and then. I can’t tell you how those couple of weeks dragged me down with worry, so I can’t begin to comprehend how you have coped with it all. Give your wife my best wishes, and I genuinely pray that she will never have to go through anything like that again. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
