Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[peteblue]

Things don’t get any better. The son of a chap I knew years ago got in touch to arrange a wake at the pub. Then I visited my mate who has PSP and who had broken his hip, he can barely speak and cannot walk, he’s only 67. Then the friend who is in hospital in pain and on morphine, he’s 69, was told his Liver Cancer is at stage 4 and that it has spread to his lungs. He’ll be lucky to see the year out, but all we can do is pray and hope…sorry for delivering more bad news……

Further to this, I’ve just received a text from my mate with cancer, he has cholangiocarcinoma ( a very rare form of bile duct cancer) and the doctors say it’s too aggressive to treat. He has this evening been brought back home in order to spend his last days with his family and friends under palliative and end of life care…I knew it was coming but the speed of him feeling not quite right to today is a matter of just 8 weeks…it’s a crying shame…….
