	My sympathy on your sad loss, Sylvia. What a brave man your pal was, a calm dignified passing as he wanted after a nice time out with friends to fill his mind with good memories. May he rest in peace now. Remember your happy times together. Lizxx

	UPDATE ................... Our friend died on Friday. He had another MRI which showed a larger mass, so plans were completed. He wanted it to happen yesterday (Saturday) which was his 78th birthday, but the doctor wouldn't do it on a Saturday. So they settled on Friday. He went out for dinner with friends on Thursday evening, he laughed and joked and had a great time. He died peacefully, with his favourite music playing in the background. I hope I would be as brave as him if I were in a similar situation RIP dear friend xx

	How sad, Sylvia, I hope your friend will be comfortable for his last months and can arrange his passing as he wishes. It s hard to know what to say to people when they have such bad news. A relative last year told me she was very poorly with liver cancer and tbis year she has had to stop treatment as it wasn't helping and just made her more ill. Her hubby is very depressed because of the worry and is also awaiting tests for Parkinsons. It's difficult to know what to say if I phone her, she's in Aylesbury. My cousin in Buckingham is back in hospital again, she had a month in there in November then was rushed back in before Christmas. Allowed home for Christmas, she has now been admitted after going for a check up today, her pacemaker was replaced just before Christmas. Her 81st birthday is coming up next week. My o.h. is waiting to see a psychiatrist about his memory problems but there is a backlog of 1000 cases to be seen. He is getting more and more confused, it's wearing for me to have to keep repeating answers to questions and I have to write notes for everything or he forgets what's what! He gets upset and frustrated. At the mo he is still working, he has just over a year to go, he is coming up to 64. Joonie, I am sorry about your poor start to the year and hope you can do the dna tests soon. It will still be interesting to find things out. Let's hope the year ahead gets better for everyone Lizxx

	Sorry about your friend Sylvia. It takes a long time to find and make close friends, who are of your own era and share some of the same memories. We lose more as we get older and it makes us realise we need to make the most of the time we have. It's good he can decide the time himself though and not have to travel to other countries like we would.

	I am sorry to read about your friend Sylvia, at least in your country he can control his end. Sadly as we get older, losing our friends become inevitable

	Sorry to hear of your horrid start to the year Sylvia (and yours too Joonie). It is always hard to lose those we are close to and as we get older it seems to happen more frequently. We also had a death in OH’s family immediately before Christmas.
