Thanks.
Kinda feels odd saying it on a forum. Feels like a AA meeting
I've been reading through this thread as for some reason I missed it. Here's my take on things.
You don't realise how many people are fighting this hideous disease, until you come in contact or do something for a research organization. I did a Charity Ride back in 1980 or 81 from Ipswich to Cairns to raise money for Cancer Research and ever since then my awareness of what people go through was lifted ten fold.
Talking to strangers about health issues is far easier I believe, because they have no preconceived opinions of you and can offer unbiased answers and thoughts.
The last person that I knew for over 35yrs that had it and lost the battle confounded the Drs with how long he survived but it was the love of his cycling that prolonged the inevitable and he was still doing it until a few months from the end. So what I'm saying is, combine the diet and something that you love doing and it may help keep it at bay for long and make living a little bit better sometimes and there is quite a lot written about this.
My thoughts are with you and your wife, Mav and you should
never apologise for talking about these things, ever, because it can eat at you and then you can't be as strong and supportive for your loved one!
