Title: Long time since I've been on here........ Post by bertie on Sep 6th, 2006, 7:11pm it's been a while since I have properly posted on here but I do try to keep reading/keeping up todate with all things scorpy. Just when you think you have that perfect life.....happily married etc, 2 scorps on the drive and all, along comes the mother of all kicks in the balls, Leigh my wife, was diagnosed cancer in 3 places, uncurable but they will try to control it. This was back in August, so far she has undergone christ knows how many tests etc scans and chunks cut off and sent away. So then we went down the Chemo route, something I am all too fimiliar with as long term members will remember my dad and my very good friend going down this route. She's onto number 3 chemo has has had all the side effects that go with it.... so the bottom has fell out of my life completely, nothing matters any more, hey, before this the only concern/worry I had was car related, what bits to buy and to race the RS at any available opportunity. Someone once said to me, Life is like a large nuts sandwich, and we've all got to take a bite! How true he has. Simon |

Title: Re: Long time since I've been on here........ Post by Spannerdemon on Sep 6th, 2006, 7:39pm I don't know you Simon, but you and your wife must keep fighting. She needs YOU now like never before. Life is extremely cruel sometimes. Don't despair is my message to you. I personally lost one of my kids a few years ago, (My first Son, a cot death) and then almost two years afterwards to the day, whilst I was away on business, my Daughter Rosemary who was just approaching 2 years old, fell into our own garden pond, and drowned. How I got through life after such events is still a mystery, and it's been a roller coaster from which, if I'm honest with myself, I've never recovered from, but if ever you need a strong shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you. Strength in numbers. Keep hoping mate. I know it's hard, but you will gain strength from somewhere. |

Title: Re: Long time since I've been on here........ Post by Geoff_W on Sep 6th, 2006, 10:29pm Simon, Thats horrid, I am so sorry that you are both having such a grim time, I hope things work out as best they can and that you both get the chance to see some better times. Meantime I know this is a bit simplistic but I guess you know that you need to keep plugging away. Regards Geoff |

Title: Re: Long time since I've been on here........ Post by TiberiuS on Sep 13th, 2006, 5:54pm There's nothing that I or anyone else can say to make things any better but there are many people on here who understand what you are going through. I lost my father to cancer some years ago, I know what you mean about the bottom falling out of your world, I was 8 at the time and losing Dad was the worst event of my life. The memory of that time still burns raw but the research into cancer came on in leaps and bounds in the years after his death, at least nowadays once it is diagnosed then far more can be done to help :). Sorry to sound so dark, best of luck to both of you :). Regards, Bruce. |
