Hi @"Beryl C." - hehehe, it is not my actual post - I just copied it from the Sydney Morning Herald website just in case it disappeared - as sometimes the links are only available for a short time.
It is a wonderfully written piece. There are some lovely people out there.
When my husband was having major surgery for Stomach Cancer in 2010 (he had 3/4 of his stomach removed.) It was a stranger in ICU who's father had had a stroke who took me under her wing & calmed me down, took me for a walk, bought me a coffee - and made all the difference to my ability to cope on the day.
Her father recovered, as did my husband, who luckily is still here today.
Yes, humour & goodwill, sharing & caring - are all wonderful tools to cope with this BC caper!
