Just today a friend phoned to say
His partner had cancer and needed treatment straight away
What do you say to such devastating news?
It is certainly a situation that no-one would choose
Just a moment in time that can be wordless
What words can make it better in this mess?
Except I hope it is not worse than you could think
And that she will get well and not be brought to the brink.

No body can do anything than to ensure a prompt and the best available treatment along with sincerest prayers for a quick recovery of the patient. This makes a lot of difference: And that she will get well and not be brought to the brink.

Sadly I too am experiencing grief yet of a loved one who has taken her journey. But now I am no longer a part of that family I am un important when it was I who cared so much more. With your bad news Paul there are so many amazing stories of survival. The most important thing is to keep in touch and be there for support. Thank you
