Ida, don't be offended but please stop thanking me - this is going to sound arrogant but I am built the way I am - my troubles are NOTHING compared with yours. Keep in touch.
Hi Ida,
There is not a lot I can add to the heartfelt thoughts you have already received except to add my own.
I do hope you have family, friends to support you where you are too, it is so important for you both to have that. The utter despair of the unknown, is a path we all need a friend or two to help us journey on. At the moment you are waiting, for tests, information and also to hook up with the wonderful service and support that will unfold for you and your family. Cancer care has come a long, long way from the days when the ‘big C’ was a taboo subject.
I will go out on a limb here and say, if you wish to add me as a frugal friend, (you do it through you profile) you can make direct contact via e-mail and I am sure I am not alone when I say, it would be an honour to be a distant hand to hold that is not directly involved and therefore can be another place to leave the unspoken fears and anger, while you stay strong for your family. It is hard role I know, but your family and their needs , while being the worry, will also be the strength that will get you through this.
Don't ever been concerned about sounding off here either, these things put life into perspective and we are all here to offer what ever support we can.
Love
carole

Never take a moment or a loved one for granted in the blink of an eye they may be lost forever.
Hi Ida - I have only just caught up with this, but I would just like to say that I too am so very sorry about your husband's diagnosis.
I cannot begin to imagine what you must be going through, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...and as others have said we are all here for you to offer as much help and support as you need.
Hi Ida - it is wonderful to see all the support you have received from all the wonderful posters on this Forum.
You need never feel alone or without help - so please stay in touch and any help you want or need please contact me or any other forum member.

Hi Just to say you your husband and family are in my prayers. As others have said your priority is being there for your husband. Will be thinking of you.

Nothing you can buy feels as good as not being in debt.
I have cleaned the fridge and freezer, re stocked them, IVA money (FIRST time ever I have done that, it's got to be done though) but what the heck, the kids have to eat even if one of us can't and the other of us doesn't want to.
I am good today, so far I am anyway, Elv.
Will be catching up on here soon I hope.
Am actually about to email payplan and will be ringing tomorrow but they can have it twice, hopefully will be expecting my call by the time I get to make it.
good to see you are feeling better today. Good that you are making sure the kids are ok and hope everything goes ok with payplan. Look after yourselves.

Glad to see that you are feeling better today Ida.
Good luck with Payplan, and let us know how you get on.

Well done Ida.
I'm sure it feels a little better having done that and you're now on your way to getting this sorted.
I know you feel you don't want to eat but you must look after yourself, if not for you then for your hubby and kids. But you are important as well and need to look after yourself.
You are all in my thoughts and I hope that Payplan get you sorted quickly so that's one less thing to worry about.
Ida, I've been away and I've only just seen your post. I can't add anything to what the others have said, but I wanted to say I'm thinking of you, your husband and children. You're having a terrible time at the moment, but please use the forum when you need to chat, to rant and rave about how unfair life is, or just to know that someone is there.
