Hiya Elizabeth, thank you for nudging this up. I also have the site bookmarked..... but it is such a useful site, that it is good to advertise it... they don't just deal with cancer patients/survivors and their immediate families and loved ones.... but anyone who has regular contact and wants to help understand where survivors and sufferers are coming from.... for instance, when I was told I was in remission, I expected to feel euphoric.... and part of me did.... but I thought I was really strange, cos a part of me actually felt a deep grief.... my battle was short and very intense, and now I had to just sit and *wait and see* lol..... I now know that this is absolutely normal!!

Love

Daff xxxx
