Inspired by a chat on my previous post, i would just like to recommend a charity called maggies centre.

I was lucky enough to visit maggies during my training....it was a little haven and just casting my mind back i thought id recommend the place to anyone who has a relative suffering from cancer or who is suffering themselves. Patients and relatives are both welcome. They offered a range of treatments like massage, head scarf tying, meditation and it was like a big family of like minded people.

They made healthy soups and folk just came in and made a wee cuppa and it was all free. I spoke to folk who went there...who felt that after hospital treatment they were left feeling quite alone and they found maggies centre so helpfull. There was also tai chi and scrapbooking amongst the activities.....

I have never suffered such an illness but have had family members and i wish i knew of a place like this at the time.....

So anyway heres a link.....Lots of love...tinks xxx

Tinks, these small and often largely unrecognised centres do so much good it is important to shout about them. As you know I have lost someone very dear to me to this horrid disease - many local facilities were available and the help at the Christie Hospital was amazing. The more we hear about help out there if only to lighten the passage out of this world the...

Hi Tinks. I am currently recovering from some really nasty side effects of the chemo. However I am hoping to go off to France or Italy in May to get some warm weather. It will be a bonus if my taste buds return to normal! x
They will Euphemia. It does get better, I promise. Enjoy your holiday. :)
