  1. Hi everyone, just checking in on you all, I hope all is good for you, my niece was diagnosed with kidney cancer recently so another hurdle hits me, she had her kidney removed and she is on immunotherapy so everything xd, she’s only 44, I hope you all have a great Christmas and new year, and sending you all love and hugs and loads of positivity, best wishes Izzy xxx

      I’m so sorry to hear about your niece Izzy and I hope she is doing well in her recovery from surgery and treatment. I pray you had a merry Christmas and that the new year is treating you well so far. I know these first holidays without your son are the hardest but time will dull the ache. Thinking of you.

      Thanks Pam , yeah it’s still so very raw, I miss him more than words can say, I have a special place in my home for him, and a tree in the garden where I’ve placed some of his ashes, I just pray for the day I feel a bit better, hope your ok, thanks for your response, I still think about you all and pray your all doin ok,  have a great new year, love Izzy xxx 😘 

  2. Hi all, just checking how your all doing, sincerely hope your all ok, things still very raw here , my daughter in law and 4 four grandchildren have fallen out with me and Micky (Jus’s sister) and her two children, it’s heartbreaking 💔We’ve been denied any of his ashes so have nothing to show he ever existed for 52 years except photos and memories ,  still that’s not why I’ve posted, I check up on you all regularly as Jus would have wanted me too as this place was very special to him as you all were too, I hope life’s treating you all as well as it can, I’m hoping that we will both feel better one day but I’m not holding out much hope, he was such a special person to us as we were and are a very close unit, the hole we now have in our hearts is immeasurable but the love carries on and will never die, take care of yourselves and keep those loved ones close, love  and hugs to you all and keep up that wonderful strength you all have, catch up again soon Xx love Izzy xx

      It hurts me to hear of the conflict with your daughter in law and grandchildren. I am truly sorry you are going thru this and pray that time will remedy the situation and turn it around. I have been thinking of you and Justin and wondering how you were coping. He is missed dearly as he always was so encouraging to all even when his treatment was so tough on himself. Sending hugs to you and please keep up your strength to get thru the grieving of the loss of your incredible son.

      @Izzy how very sad to hear that you have this to cope with on top of the terrible grief. It is kind of you to check in. I am doing very well after major surgery, and at least for now am cancer free, so making the most of it.

      I sincerely hope that you and your daughter-in-law can find a way through this as it just seems too much to bear. All the best, Rikke x

  3. Hi everyone, just checking in on you all, hope things are going well for you all, still very sad here, beginning to think I’ll never feel any better, things are still rough here and I miss Jus so very much , life is just so hard without him, take care of yourselves and keep fighting no one wins if they give up, thinking of you all a great deal, hang in there, love Izzy xxx

      Hi Izzy! So glad to hear an update from you though my heart breaks for your loss still. I often think of you and Justin,I hope he is soaring in some other dimension somewhere in the vast universe. It must be the hardest of all losses to lose one's child no matter at what age but I pray that your pain eases at some point and you can find some joy in Justin's kids and the great memories you made for decades. I get melancholic often but remind myself that every human will die so revert to trying to make the best of whatever time I have left in this life. Hugs and please keep in touch if it is not distressing for you to do so.

      @Izzy, it's so hard to deal with such a huge loss. Thank you for thinking of us even as your heart is heavy. I wish you well on your journey to this new life, and send you strength.

  4. How lovely Mark, I had family in Bristol we are about an hour away from there, your wife or you can always private message me if you want to. You can do this Mark and tell your wife she might feel lonely at times but she's never alone, always here for a chat if she needs it, take care nice to talk to you , hang in there, Isla x
  5. Hi Mark, I'm Justin's mum. Sorry to hear your news, I know you must be devastated but there is always hope, I know how your wife is feeling as she will feel there is nothing that she can do. It's so tough seeing someone you love going through such pain and the feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. As a mum I truly do know how she feels so if she ever needs a shoulder or someone to talk to I would be more than happy to listen. Jus has been incredible and gone through some gruelling treatment but 18 months on he's still here and still fighting. Let your wife know she doesn't have to do this on her own we are a family on this forum and always here to listen and support, take care Isla x
  6. So sorry for your loss, life can be so cruel, take care and hang on to those memories xxx Love Isla ( Justin's mum )
  7. Hi Kristen, Sorry to hear your news, my son is Justin who was diagnosed with NSCLC in 2021. He was 51. This is so scary and I know you will be struggling (I still am). We all know this is no easy disease to get your head around but you will now be able to process things as you have a diagnosis. Seeing someone you love go through this is heartbreaking but there really are lots of positives, this forum being one of them. It has helped me immensely and I know Jus has found it really helpful. Once you get a plan in place and treatment starts it will be a bit easier as your doing something. Please feel free to contact me any time you need a shoulder it's sometimes helpful to know someone is in the same boat as you, keep positive and stay in touch, it really does help to talk, xx love Isla xx
  8. Hi lovingdaughter 1990 I'm Justin's mum, I know exactly how your feeling. Jus was diagnosed with lung cancer 16 months ago at the age of 50 and It's been the scariest and sadist time of my entire life. You are never on your own cause you have this incredible forum to help you, they've certainly helped me, He is doing amazing and having the strength and support from his family is immeasurable. Love is an incredible weapon and it may not seem like it right now but you will get through this, if you ever need a chat I'm always available, it sometimes helps to have someone in the same boat as you, keep strong and positive cause your dads gonna need you, take care and sending lots of love and support Isla xx
