Shez honey I read with interest your post about strength and how us LTTC are such strong people and I couldn't agree more with you... My dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer the other week and has been given 3-4 years at the most. Now my dad is not young, 78, but a young 78. IYKWIM.... I we all know our parents and loved ones are going to die and it isn't something we sit around thinking and stressing about every day and when we do think about it, we just say 'we'll cross that bridge when we come to it"......

Last year when DH and I had our first IVF cycle and we failed dismally with no frosties, I thought 'OMG how am i going to cope?" and somehow i did... now i look back and i think that has made me so much a stronger person today than what i was 12 months ago, and if that hadn't of happened would I have coped with dads prognosis as well as I am. Sure i have days where i cry and i think... oh poor me o my... but i pick myself up and get on with it , and at the end of the day, there is always someone much worse off than me!!!!!

Love and hugs
