Ah Christmas.. Last year 5 days before Christmas my eldest brother died from cancer Prostrate cancer which spread to bladder and then lungs.I had just started chemo after a lumpectomy 4 days before he died Luckily I went to the UK in the August and returned to find I had breast cancer. Last night my sister rang to tell me my second eldest and my favourite brother forever, has Mesothelioma. He was an apprentice Shipwright at the Naval Docks for 5 years working with asbestos. I am gutted and never felt this bad even for myself. He lives in the Orkney Isles and will make his regular sojourn to Goa for Christmas. Cancer is so bloody wicked. My husbands family is huge so we go there every year and it's hard to be sad because everyone lifts each other up. Have to rise above all of this and wishing my bro a lovely Christmas on the beach reading his book with his wife. Happy Christmas to you all and all good positive health for 2019
