Just seen that the other one is full.

Toothiepegg · 21/07/2023 13:43

I don't think so. I've looked a couple of times today.

Helga55 · 21/07/2023 13:45

I'd just come on MN to ask the same question

Iloveringos · 21/07/2023 13:46

Me too xx

ThatFraggle · 21/07/2023 13:48

Who's Pamela?

Whostolemyporkpie · 21/07/2023 13:48

I’ve been checking in too. I do hope all is well, can not stop thinking about her.

Me too. I miss being able to check in on her.

Elle200 · 21/07/2023 13:51

I hope she or kerr can update us soon. Such a brave lady.

Abra1t · 21/07/2023 13:52

It filled up and I think people felt unsure as to whether anyone else on MN should start another one or whether we should wait for her/her family to update.

Snoken · 21/07/2023 13:56

I have been following this lovely woman's journey too. I hope she comes back with positive updates soon.

Cookerhood · 21/07/2023 13:57

I think you should wait. If they want to come back & are able, they will. They've got a lot to deal with without keeping strangers (albeit supportive ones) updated.

rainbowstardrops · 21/07/2023 14:06

I've checked today too as I'm thinking of her and her family. I so hope she was well enough to receive her chemo on Wednesday.
I'd usually say that no news is good news but knowing how Pamela found it useful to update, I'm worried.

Yesquiteright · 21/07/2023 14:08

There's nothing to be done but hope she's ok and just exhausted 🙏

Yesquiteright · 21/07/2023 14:08

ThatFraggle · 21/07/2023 13:48

Who's Pamela?

Do a search maybe 🙄

EarringsandLipstick · 21/07/2023 14:09

I know posters mean well, and it's lovely that so many are thinking of Pamela but this thread is in poor taste.

While we wish her and her family all the best, we cannot expect an update on someone's private life and it needs to be their choice if, when & how they choose to update.

How exactly is the thread in poor taste? The OP was merely asking if others were aware of there being another thread. It isn't unusual after following the previous 5 that people may be interested and/or concerned to know how she's doing. That doesn't in any way obligate Pamela to create another thread herself if she doesn't wish to Hmm

I really don't think that this is about wanted an update.

I agree. I really hoped that anyone reading the other threads would have had enough sense to see how things were going and refrain from starting new threads about it.

lucylulululu · 21/07/2023 15:31

I think it's fine to start our own threads as long as they're not demanding for updates, which this isn't, the OP is clearly just showing they care. Don't forget there may have been other people going through similar things who found all the lovely messages a comfort, and who may feel a bit lost with the other thread filling up and suddenly unable to be a part of that support network anymore. I think Pamela would be really happy to see that everyone who has been supporting her have come together again with no expectation of her to respond at all, just simply to continue with the lovely messages, supporting her, supporting each other, or even just to brighten someone's day with the lovely pictures. That's what it's about ❤️ and I think Pamela would agree, based on what a caring and lovely lady she comes across as xx

LakeTiticaca · 21/07/2023 15:40

I have also been wondering about Pamela as well but didn't want to ask xx.
Hope things are OK. I know how much our good wishes meant to her xxx

Tetchypants · 21/07/2023 15:45

I hoped people would have the common sense not to fill up her last thread, so that she or her husband could easily update if they wanted, but no…

I believe Pamela would try hard to post if she could, so I’m very worried about her.

Star0Fire · 21/07/2023 16:01

It's very worrying as she did post almost every day before.

I don't think anyone should make a new thread because she won't be the OP and her post won't be green, so we can't search by her name etc

ElsaMars · 21/07/2023 16:10

I think this thread needs to go, like another poster said, her not posting may mean something, it may not but her life is not a soap opera. Let it be.

Oh for goodness sake! I started this thread out of concern because she was updating regularly and she suddenly stopped. It's worrying.

I know the family will have many more important things to do than come on here and update, but that doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of people on here wanting to wish her well.

I'm also pretty sure that Pamela wouldn't mind a jot if we started a new thread - she got a lot of support from the previous ones.

Yes. This.
I think people forget that this is somebody's real life. Please just leave it alone now.
