Hi all

Thanks for comments of support, difficult but enjoyable time at the minute, making more memories to cherish, never have regrets, some difficult conversations re plans had but glad they happened, as vicki says in the blink of an eye it all can change, so cherish and treasure every moment, for those just on the journey this may not be that path you follow, we all hope a cure can or will be found, cancer takes its toll on a family, what an individual goes through is so subjective, I admire and respect dads choice for no further treatment that was also recommended by team following his choice, I will as always support him as he has supported me.
