Hi Nef

In some families there is a gene present that can but not always pre dispose one to getting BC......you should be able to chat to your GP about it and get the relevant tests.......i do believe blood work.

There was no family history with myself......so came right out of left field:(

My GP is very thorough and i still have blood work and a mammo and ultra yearly just to be on the safe side

Hugs Rosie that has to be so dreadfully hard for him to be like that at that age......so difficult for the family to get their heads around it all........my mumma had a brilliant mind intellect etc etc.........shattered us all when she went the way she did:(

Not sure where you guys are situated........there is an excellent facility at Kingscliffe......in the top handful accredited in Aussie

Hi Nef and yes one has to develop in a hurry a sense of humour when one cops a few wallops and doses of bad health.......i guess the key is seeing something lovely in each and every day.......and having another go at life as the new day dawns:)

Hi All,
Well i've had am interesting day today,wish i could go back in time and make it all go away.This morning was fine had subject selection with the boys for next years subjects,then went to the shops and then onto the in-laws.Came home and had a nanny nap with the kids cause i was so tired,go to pick hubby and oldest son up from work and this idiot cuts me off.So i have a grumble at him and he decides to take offence and gives me a bit of road rage,all the way to my hubby's work.

Get over that and head down to the club for football training,stay a little while to help pick out trophies for presentation day,and decide to go to the supermarket on my way home.Get my stuff load the kids in the car and sit patiently waiting for this stupid car to get into his park (took him about six attempts).Make sure he's not going to reverse again then i start to reverse and BANG i've reversed into this little low to the ground sportscar,he was reversing at the same time.Im so mad at myself for not checkingX-(-(,thank god i'm insured.

Rant over Jvh i'm glad you had a good day with your son a little one on one is god for the soul:-x

Miss hope you have fun with your niece,sounds like a fun day for you both tomorrow my little princess loves shopping,she dosn't get that from me.

Hope all is well with everyone else and will catch you all tomorrow:-x

Hugs Libby and im so sorry that you were the victim of road rage........its such a worrying thing and has to be dreadful when you have little ones in the car as well........surely a person like that cant call himself a man

Bad luck about the car.........and even with insurance it still means you dont have a car on the road.......is a major pain in the n eck.

I do hope today is a lot kinder to you:)

Hugs Nef and you have nothing to apologise about......just wondering if there is some sort of alarm thing you can set or a couple of alarm clocks that can be set at different times so that you remember your meds......good that you got your insurance down so much what company are you using now if you dont mind me asking?

Have a great day:)
