I have lost my husband on the 31 March 2009 after a five and a half year battle with brain cancer. This entire experience has been overwhelming, especially since i feel so strong. the mere reason for this was the positive outlook and hope that my dear husband lived with right up until the last day. He really lived with hope and smiles all through his 4 operations and 7 weeks of chemo and radiation therapy. basically what I wanted to share was the energy with which he lived with cancer and i mean lived - nothing stopped him. being diagnosed gave him a new meaning to life - to enjoy every moment and to share more love than ever - not to feel sorry for oneself but to make better and full use of everyday. The only thing that is certain in life is death - some of us warned in way of illnesses and other are gone in an instant - none of which is better than the other - though if we use the time on hand fruitfully then no matter what happens tommorrow yesterday would be a good memory - we cannot live predicting the future when we actually have today to make a difference. And so instaed of living the depressed life of a young indian widow in a white sari, I choose to thank god for the learnings of the experience and live a life as an example of love personified with hope. to each and every person with this illness and their partners - as uch as this experience is draining, please i beg of you to trust gods will - the choice for your today - the choice of yours and your loved ones memories is in your hands at this moment - never give up - always smile - and that itself will live forever! love love and love more - love unconditionally - all there really is on earth to give and take is love. hi

Unfortunately we are not aware of any support groups for colon cancer in Durban. We do however have a cancer buddy here in Cape Town that is a colon cancer survivor and wouldn't mind giving support via email and skype. Please let me know if you are interested and then I will put you in touch. We would love to start a PLWC support group in Durban, but in order to do so we need someone to drive and coordinate it on a volunteer basis. Any suggestions and input is always welcome. Kind Regards Eldré PLWC Cape Town Dear Shelley
