    Like Tigerfish I also contribute but by a standing order every December. I have done  for the last 19 years. Graet people as I knew a few socially as well - purely by chance encounters some 15 years ago.

    HappyGood luck Mick.  My OH, who's now on dialysis, has his own team at the CAPD dept of the Manchester Royal Infirmary, and I would think
    that MacMillan Nurses will be as good if not better than they are, and the CAPD unit are brilliant people.  We can call in at any time if we're worried about anything.  You will be looked after.  Keep us posted about how you are doing

    Don't know you Mick, butall the best, we have very close relationship with MacMillan for my partner and when you need them they are  a great comfort and have a great depth of knowledge of the disease area as they have patients with many types of this horrible
    problem and they can give  advice and comfort.... Good luck we are all with you on this ..... SG2

    MacMillan, Marie Curie, Air Ambulance and RNLI are people that never have a problem getting money oout of me. Why? Because they're the best and the people who have proved time and time again that they really treat evry person on an equal footing and with
    great professionalism.

    You'll be in safe hands MIck. Best of luck.

    Mick, I don't know if you listen to PM on Radio 4 on a Monday, but there's been a series of interviews with the reporter Steve Hewlett who has cancer of the osophagus. They're really interesting  & inspiring. Here's a link if you're interested. You can find
    out more, should you wish to, by googling his name. Best of luck with your treatment.

    And  we  are  ALL  Wishing  &  Hoping  for  that  for  you  Redmick  -- Believe  Me .

      When  I  had  my  pre -- op  chat  with  the  surgeon  a  week  before hand,  he  introduced  the  lady  to  me  and  it  was  only  when  I  got  home  a  couple  of  hours  later  I  studied  her  card.

    Please  believe  me  the  surgeon  had  found  a  first class  way  of  checking  that  my  alimentary  canal  exhaust  system  was  fully  functioning  !!SurprisedEmbarassed

    After  the  op,  She  was  the  first  person  I  saw,  and  she  was  there  every  morning.  It  was  also  the  lady  who  broke  the  news  to  me  that  I  had  had  as  Wellington  said  a  "Close  Run  Thing"  but  was  as  clear  as  a  crystal 
    glass.

    Hope  you  have  the  same  good  fortune  !!

    Do  what  you  can,  when  you  can  &  while  you  can,  RM !

      Little  point  in  sitting  there  fretting,  better  to  be  up  &  doing  however  little  that  may  be.

    Like  Brue  ,  EasyT  &  the  rest  on  here  thinking  of  you  &  Hoping  &  Praying.
