First of all, please let me say a belated thank you for this wonderful dedication to my husband Stan (I was emailed this link by a lovely Aussie BP'er friend).The news hasn't been good, we have been told that his cancer is incureable and we find out later this week if they will commence chemo after his recent surgery.
It is a very, very difficult time for our family but the words of support that I have read above and received by email are so nice and it gives me a glimmer of hope that Robert will be given a chance to beat his diagnosis.
I will keep in touch when time permits.
Thanks again Stan, you are a dear friend.
Much love
