Another pointless thread

That is anything but pointless Gary. I am sorry to hear your news.
Keeping you both in my thoughts and hoping for a positive outcome.
Hopefully our photography will provide you a much needed break occasionally.

Gary I hope things start to move in a more poritive direction for you and MRs K10D

Sorry to hear this Gary
My thoughts for you and your wife

My best wishes to you and Mrs Catterick Gary. My wife Irene was recently very ill and after major surgery is now on the way to a full recovery. Fortunately for us they have ruled out cancer but it was still a very worrying time.

Sorry to hear that Gary, hears hoping your wife gets some good news soon.

Gary i'm going to send you hugs
so many people forget about the family when cancer is in the mix
I hope you and family are supporting each other and my fingers are crossed for your wife. I out drinking with a friend left behind after cancer took his wife and left him with one amazing kids to bring up on his own. I meet him while on holiday in Rome and as he is full of life it's all a front but hats of to him he is amazing dad.



wishing you all the luck and support

ps Pink is for cancer fund raising but that's another story

I'd like to send you and your wife my best wishes Gary - can't imagine what it's like, but keep a positive attitude as much as you can.

My wife is a cancer survivor. Stay positive, it's a testing time, but there is hope.

Survivor and Positive are both good, but it doesn't harm to cross a few fingers and I'm quite sure there will be many of those.

Best wishes for you both.

Deeply appreciate all of your comments. First treatment over and done with. The wife is very positive and I've every faith in her.

It's opened my eyes to what goes on in day care units. The unit we attended today at James Cook was very busy. Just so many people getting chemo from morning through to evening, five days a week, every week.

Once again, your support and comments are really appreciated.

Sincerely.

Gary

Rather a belated "good wishes" from me too. My dear wife went through that several years ago, and thankfully she survives with no recurrences. I have heard that the James Cook is a very good hospital. Better than the chaotic juggernaut that we have to use as a regional hospital in Cambridge.

😉 Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas to you too, Alan.

I am on another, non-photo, forum where threads from as long ago as 12 years have been resurrected, often by a spammer, and people start responding as if it is a new thread. Always fun to see.

Good to see this thread resurrected too .

And a very Merry Christmas to you too, Alan, even though I am an arachnophobe.

Now don't start on that one!!!!

Wishing all forum members the best throughout the festive season and new year.
