What a sorry world we live in when someone thinks what is the point of receiving treatment - there should never be anyone who feels there is no hope - but of course, that also happens to people who have 'indeterminate sentences' - life without hope is awful.Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-11717337720309471442010-11-03T08:46:56.328+00:002010-11-03T08:46:56.328+00:00It is a dreadful scenario, and I do really feel fo...It is a dreadful scenario, and I do really feel for Big Rinty. I pray that he is comfortable and free from pain in this terrible time. He will need to feel the love from all of his friends and know that he is loved and has given to others in his life such that they are stronger to have known and have connected with him.<br /><br />Its a hard choice about whether to receive treatment for cancer or not, one that is deeply personal.<br /><br />Upon my sisters diagnosis of ovarian cancer, before she knew the medical ins and outs she told me that if an operation was not possible she would not accept treatment like chemo for example. I was horrified, but I understood that to be her choice and I could see her bravery as she faced these tough decisions and I was also reminded of the very deep rebel that my sister is and so understood her decision as entirely in keeping with her character, I even felt some admiration for her bravery. Luckily however she did have surgery which thankfully sorted her out.<br /><br />For you and Big Rinty I wish you all the best, and I hope that his time left here will be made as good as can be. Best wishes Big, thinking of you xxxSophie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336695401529252201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-70656182647192092812010-11-02T23:18:31.817+00:002010-11-02T23:18:31.817+00:00I wish I could find something comforting to say, b...I wish I could find something comforting to say, but sometimes words are totally inadequate.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194966950654510250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-57778570917013866542010-11-02T22:10:47.597+00:002010-11-02T22:10:47.597+00:00Your writing is some of the most intelligent I'...Your writing is some of the most intelligent I've read recently.
