    I have just been reading about Lynda Bellingham.

    Her colon cancer is so bad, she now wants to stop her therapy.

    It means that she will have one last Christmas.

    What a lovely lady, I seen her OXO ads, watched in 'All creatures great and small et al.

    Big hugs to her and her family.:grphg:

          Sadly, it seems to be the most special, cherished and loved and those without an evil bone in their body that cancer seems to take. :frown:

            Cant say I know much about here, but always remember the OXO ads.

            They were good, I didn't realise she is now 66, (not that old really), why is everyone ageing faster than me.:scratch:

              It's a courageous decision to make: respect to her for making it!
              Wishing her final times to be those of love, peace, dignity and as pain free as possible.
              Thank you for the belly laughs. x

                  Such sad news. Even now I refer to her and the adverts when sitting having a car picnic in wild weather.

                    Such a shame to read about the sad demise of this wonderful lady just after she has now found some happiness in her life.

                    I do think the poo sticks that are sent to everyone over the age of 60 are a very good idea in trying to detect this horrible disease early but even then like other diseases it can develop any time after the all clear results.

                    I just hope she doesn't suffer too much when the time comes and is made to feel comfortable and pain free in her finale days....
