Hi all

i regularly post on here and am 3 years post treatment for a head and neck cancer

but today I learned that a dear friend of mine has been taken too quickly by this terrible disease

being a survivor it gets to me when anyone loses their fight to cancer, as we may have different strains of cancer but we all fight as one. It feels like a loss in the force (I am no Star Wars geek, but it's the only thing I can liken it too)

but this one was too close, too quick and a retired primary school teacher that should not have been exposed to asbestos ... or so we thought.

The annoyance and anger is gently subsiding and fond memories will soon take their rightful place

RIP dear friend
