I have always like Fiz, did not always agree with her attititude but then writers and directors are the ones that create and make a character or not. I am trying hard to support a loved one dying from cancer at the moment .. I can empathise with both Fiz and Ty with what they are going through right now and their reactions to certain things .. seems pretty realistic from where I am at the moment

Been there myself with both my father and sister. I can understand what you are going through at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Both my parents died from cancer. Neither of them smoked or drank. But, fortunatley, they didn't really suffer much as both were diagnosed only a couple of weeks before they died, so it was mercifuly quite quick. My wife had breast cancer in 2002. She went through a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Fortunately the treatment worked and she recovered and has had no problem with cancer since. However, I think the chemotherapy really affected her badly and she developed both diabetes and arthritis following it. I know you can't be certain it was that that caused them and they might have developed anyway, but the chemotherapy, I believe, left her very weak and susceptible to these sort of illnesses.

People like your wife do not appear in any statistics Norman. Nobody ever hears about the thousands of people who are diagnosed with Cancer and survive. My wife had bowel cancer over 20 yrs ago and a repeat about 15 yrs ago. Thanks to the treatment she received at our local cancer hospital she has been cancer free ever since. Like your wife the treatment was severe, She had radiotherapy which brought on premature menopause and due to the surgery parts of her bowel were removed and the resulting scar tissue leaves her unable to eat certain foods for fear of an obstruction.

In my fathers case he went into hospital withe heart problems and they x-rayed him and discovered he had advanced cancer and was dead within 3 weeks. Unfortunately I have seen both sides. It's an evil disease which touches everyone at some time.

Very sorry to hear you are going through a bad time Perdy, try to stay strong and I'm here if you ever need a rant xxx

[tammyy2j]

Sad to hear that Perdita but good to hear of recoveries too from Alan and Norman

I am not feeling Aiden and Eva as a potential future couple, I think Alya is better for him

What was the point of tonight's double bill? Utter drivel from start to finish. I am really struggling to find a positive about the episode, apart from Eva's laugh and that Ken is starting to wake up and smell the coffee re the revolting Nessa.
