fuck cancer

i'm sorry you have to go through this, you are doing yourself & your wife every credit

we'd also had a wheelchair on loan from the Red Cross, which we were supposed to give back in October. but tbh when you don't know how much time you have left, and they didn't contact us about it, we just didn't bother bringing it back. then a couple of weeks ago they rang us up saying where's the wheelchair and btw we now charge £15 a week for it, since November. I was prepared to have an argument because I was expecting them to try and charge me 3 months at £15 a week despite not bothering to tell us they were going to do this until now, but tbh they were ok about it when I took it back and I ended up giving them more money than they asked for.

but still though. £15 a week? I just bought a fucking wheelchair off Amazon last week for £100 to replace it (the NHS waiting list is apparently several weeks, do we even have several weeks) that looks basically the same as the one we had, except a bit lighter cos it's got an aluminium frame, that's 6 weeks at their rate. wtf. OK watch this one fall apart the first time we use it.

just saw this as I never look at ILE, much love to both of you

Thinking of you CP

Wishing you all the best CP, that's awful.

Just can't imagine making a phone call to say there is a £15 charge for a wheelchair.

Love to you both.

so sorry to read this CP, love to you both and stay strong :(

Wait til you see how much people charge to repair them...

Sorry CP. Have been thinking of you both, if that's not too weird. Cancer and its various forms seem to be prominent in families I know right now. Some good stories, some less so.

Much love, CP.

This is based on a survey of one, but considering what you're saying, I'd enjoy as much as possible your time while she's lucid now.

Best to you and your wife. Strength.

My wife passed away on Sunday. I don't have much to say at the moment but I knew I would need to tell people at some point and I am trying to get things done, partly to keep myself busy I think so the grief doesn't completely overwhelm me.

thats so horrible to hear.

people are thinking of you, wishing you the best.

Noticed you had been away for a week or so, so sorry to hear the news.

Sorry to hear that CP.

I often think of you and what you're going through, CP. Wishing you strength – and peace.

Very sorry CP. Wishing you all the strength, and warmth from people around you.

Much love to you CP.

yeah, love to you cp, so sorry

Peace and strength, CP.

That's awful news, hugs to you cp

so sorry CP, best thoughts to everyone

Much love to you, man - take care of yourself, and let other people take care of you too.

Sending love and condolences, CP xxx

very sorry to hear your news sir CP.
your story has been heartbreaking to follow, and all too rather familiar.
after the absolute chaos of the last few months, it's now time to really take care of yourself.
if you need to reach out vent/scream etc then by all means do so - my ilx email is still valid.

Oh CP, so very sorry to hear this. What a long, grueling battle you both had. Hoping you find some peace in the months ahead.

I’m so very sorry. You did your utmost, and I hope that stays with you as the shock eases. Life is hard to make sense of but to be loved like that is the best anyone could hope for.
