Dear Helen

What awful news and such a shock for you.

Words cannot express how sad I am for you both - you have always been there for me and now it's my turn to help you if I can.

You are continually in my thoughts and hope to speak soon.

Love

Hi Helen

Dont post very often but am so shocked and saddened by your awful news.

I loved seeing the pictures of Alan, he alsways looked so healthy.

I understand your feelings at this time, if you are anything like I was you will still be in shock.

Please know that I am thinking of you both at this very sad time.


Love
Janet

Dear Helan and Alan
I am absolutely gutted for you and so terribly sorry to hear your devastating news. I Know you will find the very best care for Alan, but please also make sure you get the support and care you need for yourself. You are only human Helen, you have been on tenderhooks for days so never blaim yourself for reacting to Alan's needs. Please try to find some form of stability whilst Alan has his respite this is going to be a really hard journey but we are all here to support you throughout. My very very best wishes to you both.

Helen, my thoughts are with you and Alan, this is doubly cruel for you both.

The two of you are so well loved and respected by the amount of posts generated.

Love Dee

Dear Helen

I am so sorry to hear your news.

My father was diagnosed with cancer four years ago. He had ended up in hospital after developing symptoms which we could never have guessed would lead to the eventual diagnosis of bowel cancer (with secondary tumours on his liver & lungs). He had never suffered any of the “typical” symptoms & had always been so fit & active. Everyone who knew him was so shocked. So I do understand a little of the devastation you must feel. In Alan’s case, his difficulties with language would have made it so much harder for him to communicate any symptoms to anyone, if he did have any at an earlier stage.

All I can say to you is accept whatever help & support is offered. If that means things are “taken out of your hands” for a while, so be it. You need time to rally your emotional & practical resources, & you need a rest. You will also be having to deal with the reaction of other members of the family to the news.

If you have a hospice in your area, they can be a fantastic source of support for both sufferer & carer. Our local hospice was a godsend, especially with home care towards to end of Dad's life. I’m sure your GP and/or the hospital will point you in the right direction for whatever services are available to you.

Much love to you & Alan xx

Please try and get some rest. It is devastating news which you have received and you need time to become accustomed to it.

Hi Helen

so sorry to hear of the events of the day.

I've been all over the place and only had the iPhone, so TP wasn't something I could check sensibly.

My thoughts are with you both.
