Alex:A Life Fastforward

[LetThereBeRock]

Is anyone else watching this?

Yes, I am. Hope it's not too heartbreaking. Cancer is bit of a tough subject for me.

I don't dare. Bone cancer far too close to the bone, as it were.

Hugs for you both. I'm sorry that your lives have been affected by cancer in some form.

I am afraid that it is going to be heartbreaking,Sittinginthesun,I've just Googled him.

God bless him, its so sad. He is one amazingly strong guy though.

Sorry that have both had to go through some awful experiences as well.

Well done, though. May turn over before end.

Watching with DD, 11, I think I know where this is going but don't think DD does

you

And thanks for your thoughts. Xxx

I'm watching (and crying already after reading a link about him on the BBC website)

He's so lovely isn't he? And such a handsome boy too.

Awful to see him in so much pain.

How old is he?

21 I think

Thanks

So touching

This is so unfair and so cruel.

Life is so unfair. Such a beautiful couple. Oh no

Very beautiful and genuinely nice people.

Very good programme. X

Watched it.
Beautiful boy.

Fucking cancer

His poor wife and family.I can't imagine the extent of their pain. What a loss.

I agree, fucking cancer. Far too young to die such a hideous death.
I'm in floods of tears. It's so sad. I'm glad I watched it though, what a lovely boy.

this was heartbreaking, my mum died of a cancer a few years ago and I know of a 7 yr old who is dying at the moment. Just too much for these poor children and their poor parents to bear. Was bad enough with my mum who had lived a longer, fuller life and led a life which led to cancer - but with these poor children - it's just too much. God Bless all those families out there dealing with this.

Amazing programme.
What a wonderful family.
My heart truly goes out to them all.

My DD was 14 when she died after being sick for 2 years.

I was thinking of you MrsdeVere during this. I read your posts in the past and have been touched by what happened to your beautiful daughter.
