There isn't much for me to add to what had already been said but I can only hope you are all coping OK and that you get your Christmas and more.

As others have said thanks for posting Kate. You're both doing amazing under the awful circumstances. Don't feel the need/pressure to keep us updated but also feel free to vent here if it helps? I'm a dad of two young kids too so really feeling for your two girls so here hoping/praying for a turn around and a good Christmas for you all.
Lots of love at this tough time.

I'm kinda new here so I haven't gotten the chance to familiarize myself with all of you just yet, but it doesn't take that to feel very strongly for you about now. I pray for all of you to find the strength to deal with whatever happens. Life really is short. Stay strong.
Just called in to put the kettle on. x
Well the good news is I'm not dead yet. It seemed a bit touch and go over the weekend but I've rallied and I'm now able to do things like speak and focus at the same time, or breathe without it becoming laboured.
Fair to say we're taking it as an early warning that I'm nearing the end. If I'm lucky I may still have weeks but I'm making sure I finish writing letters to those I'm leaving behind. That I hadn't done that yet was my only regret when I though this was it.
Due to the phenomenal support of an individual I've never met on a message board I help run elsewhere my daughter has now raised £2,500 for Pancreatic cancer. To day I'm overwhelmed by the kindness of people of late is an understatement. Thank you all for your kind words, concern and donations.
Really happy to hear this. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas together.
That's really good to hear. Both you and Kate need to make sure you don't priortise keep us up to date. While its great to hear from you both, you both have way more important things to do with your time. You're all in our thoughts/prayers. Hoping so hard for a good Christmas for you all.
Really glad to hear you've rallied. Rooting for you to get your Christmas with your family. Stay strong!
Well, phew. That was a scare. Good to hear you're feeling a bit better.Quote:

All you can do is exactly what you are doing, which is to make the most of each day, do what you can and not worry about what you can't, and concentrate on the priorities which you also clearly are.
We're all thinking of you and the family, Chris, and hoping for at least a good Christmas. Any time you want me, you know how to get me.
I'm so glad to see that your latest update is from you. Christmas is getting ever closer for you and your family. Happy Christmas for then!
I don't know even what to say. My wife always says I say the wrong things but, please be strong and I am not one for praying but I am now for you.
Christmas Eve tomorrow!
Just wanted to check in and say I'm thinking of you and praying for you and your family.
Any updates? How are you doing sir?
I'm still alive and kicking. Things have improved a lot since my last post and I'm hopeful of a very good final Christmas. Who knows what the new year will bring, but I'll face that if/when I get there.
I hope everyone on here has a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas.
Happy Christmas mate will be thinking of you.
That at least is some good news, have a good Christmas make it one to remember.

Tough ol' boot, ain't he? :D
Oh, hi Chris .... that really is good news, pal. I hope you all have a good one, and Mrs Sara sends her love too.
