.... I wonder if there are women on here who are childless with BC and come from a cultural background that just assumes (I hate that word) and expects every-one to have children? If so, I would love to hear your story....
WOW - now THAT is an interesting one - now bear with me & my twisted sense of humour - what if she was gay as well as being Jewish, living in Egypt AND childless?? .... No offence meant, @jena ... or those of the Jewish faith!
haha @kmakm - Sounds like you found a good one there! ;) I just tell people that Keith traded in on a younger model (his 2nd marriage, my first!) ;) His 2 adopted children were about 10 years younger than me when we married - I was late 30s .... so luckily I didn't have to raise them - and I had nothing to do with the previous marriage breakup! LOL I get on really well with the son, less so with the daughter, tho we are in touch (they both live in NZ!) Interestingly enough - NEITHER of THEM have had children either! The daughter never married & the son's wife (a lovely lady) just never fell pregnant which was a shame as she would have made a lovely mother. She mothers her brothers & helped raise them when her own mother died from cancer whilst they were still young.
The age difference between us is starting to tell now tho, as he gets a lot more wobbly on his pins & has a shocking memory (he's being assessed in 10 days by a Geriatrician as Alzheimers/dementia runs in his family.) He's given up competitive sport now - but still training daily. He is VERY thin (never had much weight on him) and a strong puff of wind would knock him over - he almost has to run round the shower to get wet!!
Off to the Onc today to discuss tablets & stuff ...... fun fun fun
