So this is a quick introduction to the channel, I say quick but it's not really. In this video I cover how all this started. I know a lot of you already know this so feel free to skip this one. anyway thanks for watching
Nice one. The pandemic hasn't been kind to any of us, and my mental health nosedived. Even though I don't have a channel (nothing worth posting about my particular expertise that hasn't been done well already), the information, and even more the cameraderie of the making community, has kept me afloat. So yeah, we have a relatively new phenomenon/platform whereby blokes who've never actually met each other come to care for each other. Thanks to the goodwill, candour and bravery of people like you, we're daring to try and connect. That said, I can't really imagine what you're going through. I don't think even the most sensitive person can empathise unless they've been in a similar situation. But we try. Totally agree with you about making the effort to be positive around the family, but hope you'll allow yourself to use this channel as a proper release valve. We're listening, and I do hope you manage to connect with more people in your situation. Best wishes mate. See you anon- I don't pray, but will be thinking of you. Cheers.
Yeh, thoughts and prayers for you both bud. Gave a shout out asking the lads who hadn’t fought up to give you a 👍 been Sue’s carer for over 12 years now with several late night conversations on the lines “you know she’s very poorly -are there any family want to see her?”…… not cancer but given 6 months to 6 years….. 12 years on still hanging on….. there have been times when she was bed ridden and tube fed and now she’s having “episodes” And I’m sat watching this scoffing tea/toast to stock up after having a purge and an endoscopy. …. Personally terrified I might not be able to look after someone who has been my life/light for near on 50 years. All I can offer is that these devastating things let us focus on the important relationship stuff we sometimes take for granted when healthy… - you really can squeeze a decade of love into a couple months/years if you focus on Mel. ( sue and I have done it)
Dave, I can't imagine what you are going through, but I wish you and your family all the best. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that your wife will get through this and you can celebrate many wedding anniversaries. Keep your chin up, and easier said than done I know. All the best from the Netherlands and you are so strong for doing this on yourube. Cheers, Jack
I think people have said it all. Given all you are going through to be able to share with us is a great example. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏼
Just letting you know we as a community are here. We all do our channels but very few know what’s going on in our personal lives. You have been incredibly brave to reach out to others which as you have identified is so hard to do. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both as family and continue to reach out as you feel able to those you can talk to. Take good care here if you need. Mark
Hi dave, I got diagnosed with stage 2 aggressive testicular cancer 7 years ago and since then my life has been flipped upside down. I caught it very late so it had spread to a few places so I needed 6 months of intense chemotherapy which was brutal, I now have really bad joints in upper and lower body also suffer from bad leg ulcers from dvt's let's just say everyday is a struggle. I pray and hope all goes well for the journey ahead.
My mother in law was diagnosed with terminal cancer somewhere in the 1990's, they told her she has months to live. My wife was still in school at that stage and her father was deceased. Mother in law said to the doctor I don't have time to die I have a child to raise. More than 30 years later she is sitting in the next room in her 60's. An oncologist told us that a positive attitude is sometimes that little bit extra that makes the difference between healing or not. My wife too had cancer so I know some of what you are going through. You all will live in our prayers until this is decide one way or the other. I am certain I speak for all people here when I say, we will be here regardless of what happens.
hey m8 so glad I came across your Channel who knew you were you were a content creator awesome your I think your awesome very talent love you loads so glad I’m part of your life I pray for Mel she’s so awesome ❤️ so are you m8
I originally picked up the situation via Grumpa...... I have been there with my wife (bowel cancer) and it was bad news for a while but she has inner strength and here we are many years later. It is all so shocking at the time but we somehow make it through. Thinking of you mate. Bob Weston s Mare
