Call for support

For Donna [nightmaremom], whose sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which apparently has spread to the liver. That is giving cause for concern.

Because of the 5 hour time difference between the UK and the USA East Coast, I did not pick up on Gina's [ginabommer] entry from yesterday, in which she showed to be in deep distress. She lost her brother and her mother within a few days of each other at the end of February. I am very grateful to Carlene [tendernoggle] for picking up the baton and directing readers to Gina's journal to give support. Today's entry is a lot more positive.

Jeannette [jeanno43] has returned home from hospital, as reported by her daughter Becky. Jeannette herself will update as soon as she feels up to it. Please leave a message of support when you're there.

Lisa [seraphoflove9001] is coming to terms with her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and all that that entails. Lisa is a person with (what the medical world calls) multiple pathologies, in other words, a horde of afflictions. I would like to ask for a sympathetic ear and expressions of support.

Sugar [sugarsweet056] has been told her surgery will take place next week. Apart from that, her trigeminal neuralgia is beginning to flare up, which could leave her in excruciating pain. Please call round.
