Sending love and strength to you and your family xxx

I only found your original thread today.
It was so moving and honest - I think everyone would show all of the emotions and everyone else ought to understand these!
Life really is not fair, to see a young woman, with a lovely family, affected so badly and so swiftly is incredibly sad.
Humour and strength to you and your delightful family.
Sending love and prayers.
💙

All the very best to you Pamela, you are in all our thoughts. This is so unfair. Know we are thinking of you x

Pamela, I am so utterly moved by your words. You illustrate so vividly what you're experiencing. I'm really grateful for your selflessness and effort. Your lovely family are so blessed.

I an a clinical nurse specialist in palliative care at my local hospice and if there is anything I can tell you or help you with, I would be honoured.

Your generosity has helped me tremendously. You have brought to life how so many of my dear patients must feel. I don't have the opportunity really to hear such detailed descriptions written so eloquently and movingly.

Thank you. You have a beautiful spirit.
I hope so deeply that you find relief from your pain and emotional turmoil.

With love from Rebecca in Bromley.

The photos you posted on your other thread are beautiful. You come across in your writing as a beautiful person and then when I saw your face I can see that inner beauty radiating out of your eyes.

I also just wanted to say stay strong for the stenting - ot will give you massive relief and hopefully months at the minimum (partner's dad didn't have chemo) 💪🤗❤️

Sending love. Your photos are full of warmth and happiness. I pray for you and your loved ones. Your writing and strength and eloquence is inspirational. X

Theloosegoose · 30/06/2023 21:45

You are amazing. Gorgeous photos of you all. I really really think you can get through this, hang in there. Visualise your recovery, see it, smell it, live it..... in your minds eye. Look at RSO (Rick Simpson oil)....

It's awful that you are going through this, I am truly sorry. X

Kiwiandstrawberries · 30/06/2023 21:46

Pamela I am praying that the palliative care team sort out your pain relief tomorrow. It’s absolutely bloody shocking that you have been sent home without JIC pain relief . Can your lovely husband Kerr chase tomorrow. I read a message from a palliative care nurse who hopefully can help you access this team on a Saturday.
Sending you and your beautiful boys my love…glad to see you enjoy the Rugby.
We are Wales supporters here even though we live in England but definitely Ireland are playing well these days 💕💐💕

WheeshtYaBam · 30/06/2023 21:46

Wanted to send you my thoughts and prayers too Pamela. What an absolute shit hand you've been dealt. I hope that they get your pain under control.

Christinatherabbit · 30/06/2023 21:47

In no way to compare but I suffer from crippling insomnia and have had all manner of sleeping tablets thrown at me for years. The only thing that helps me switch off is the calm sleep app. It really really helps me...especially the sleep stories about the trains which is random! Sending love from Aimee in Surrey 🩷

Sorrynotsorry2 · 30/06/2023 21:50

Your absolutely beautiful. Thank you pamela for sharing your story. You are without a doubt such a brave brave women . I'm willing you all the luck in the world 🌎

Dear Pamela,

My heart goes out to you for everything you are going through. You are a truly amazing woman. You are surrounded by love not just from your family but everyone here. I hope you can get some treatment that will help you feel better.
Sending all my love to you and your family. You are in my prayers xxx

TheMadGardener · 30/06/2023 21:52

Hi Pamela
I've only just discovered your threads and wanted to send love to you and your family.
Bastard cancer took my lovely DH in 2019. He was fobbed off by useless GP for over a year when reporting classic bowel cancer symptoms. It wasn't until we moved house that our new GP immediately referred him for a colonoscopy but by that time it was stage 4. These delays, as in your case, make me so angry thinking about all the people who could be saved with prompter treatment.

I hope you have better pain management soon.

CorvusPurpureus · 30/06/2023 21:53

Hi Pamela, you are unbelievably strong & your love for your family shines through every damn word. I wish you so much to have the pain relief sorted, so you can enjoy time with Kerr & Jacob. Much love, Carrie in Cairo x

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 30/06/2023 21:53

Just popping in to say hello on this new thread, Pamela. I am thinking of you ❤️

Frasecam · 30/06/2023 21:54

Still holding your hand Pamela. Sending love to you all 💕xxxx
