Macmillan campaign

[Tender Face]

Having been - and still to some degree still - living on 'both sides of the coin' (financial considerations, dementia v. cancer) .....I wondered if this campaign provoked the same feelings in others it did for me when I first heard of it today......

To be brutally honest, I suppose the issue is that at least some people with a cancer diagnosis will survive and live another 40 or 50 years. Unfortunately, that's not on the cards for our loved ones. Furthermore, the majority of dementia sufferers have paid off their mortgage at some point in the past, so it's not a big bad mortgage company (easy to demonise) who is taking the house.
