Glad you could make a statement about this, so no misunderstandings arise in the future,

Actually a good friend of mine I'd known for 18 years died last week of leukaemia (AML) and I can't get to her funeral tomorrow (Inverness ).

Not only that but also the week before last one of my daughter's friends (aged 2) was also diagnosed with it (ALL). His GP is being investigated after turning him away several times saying that because he had an appointment booked with a paediatrician (even now it's still two weeks away!) and there was nothing he could do. A midwife friend advised them to go straight to A&E and not leave until a blood test was done, within 30 mins was getting rushed to specialist unit at a hospital about 70 miles away. Once a blood transfusion was done he'd immediately perked up and is now improving all the time.

Now that I've depressed and cheered this thread up, can I ask all who can to donate blood, it's 30 minutes out of your day-to-day life and 10 seconds of slight discomfort, but to someone else it could mean their life!

She was a great laugh but took her job seriously, she enjoyed most of what we did as a job. Her husband, Rick - in the pics, I really feel for. He's left to pick up the pieces but is relieved she is no longer suffering. Through it all he's been her rock, and kept his sense of humour and they shared the same outlook in life.

Bright colours requested at the funeral. And I'm sure a lot of cider will be drunk - not your usual Scots tipple but Joyce's favourite.
