Page 1 of Well my 2008 optimism is over...

I remember Whoot mentioning Macmillan Nurses in a post a while back and just wondered what they do?

Just had the news today that F.I.L treatment isn`t working and they have nothing left to offer...so could be a matter of weeks...

We have no idea what to do next (there is no M.I.L - well there is but its complicated) and I thought these nurses could help?

Sorry to hear the news Gavski
Macmillian Nurses are experienced nurses who specialise in various (but not all) types of cancer. They offer help and advice towards medications, pain relief, palliative care etc. From my personal experience they act as a kind of `liason` between GP, hospital, family, patient and provide care for all involved in the good times and the bad

S*** mate - don`t really know what to say to a post like that - except that thoughts are with you and I`m sure that goes for all of us on here :¦

sorry to hear that matey

cough is it to late to ask for thwe loan of a fiver then cough ;)

mmm chocolate

Is that your partners father Gavski?

I have nothing to add other than my thoughts are with you.

All the best,

Andrew.

for me the Macmillan`s didn`t appear until a year after the first operation.. but it was still good timing.

My mum and dad were stressing, as was I, about getting appointments, what was going on with me and all that s***. then suddenly this nurse appeared and she kicked arse all over the place.. she liased like a mother f***er.. even came to visit me after the 2nd op...

I hope you get everything sorted. the M nurses are good for advice, phone numbers, someone to talk to etc. I dont really bother them as i am sure they have better things to do.. in fact i offered to volunteer for them...

incidentally. mine is back. what a c***er!

I never really know what to say to posts like this so I tend to stay out of them. However i feel bad if I do, so I am posting just to let you know I am not a heartless git who doesn`t care and I hope that everything works out for you.

That goes for whoot too, or anyone else that has been struck by a terrible illness, loss or tragedy for that matter.

Thoughts and prayers are with you
