How sad. My thought and prayers are with her and her family and friends. Linda

Kris, I'm so sorry. Tomorrow is promised to no-one. Be strong and God bless the beloved soul, the family and close friends. Green

Hi Kris, It is when you hear of something like this that it put things that have happend into perspective! A young mother of two young children receiving such news is awful for her and the whole family. Betty

this is awful how terrible sad for her babies and hubby, misdiagnosis is the bain of this country, it should never happen they (some docs) trivialise women and their concerns, and some are too scared to argue

That is heartbreaking Kris. Really terrible. My heart goes out to the family.

thoughts and prayers go to this family. same thins happend a few years ago to my ex husbands sister in law. went to the doctor with a lump after having a baby, was told it was just a cyst caused by milk and died three months later, leaving her husband with a four month old and a three year old to care for on his own. my heart goes out to her and her husband. tina x

Misdiagnosis is something that should not happen these days, and I can't begin to imagine what your colleague and her family are going through right now, knowing she might not have had to be in this tragic situation. My heart breaks for them and for the other people in similar situations mentioned on here, those little children who will not have the childhood they deserve and their parents dreamed for them and the partners who have to carry on and help the children cope, while grieving themselves. What a cruel world we live in with these tragic twists of fate and error, bickering is pathetic when others are in such dire straits. Bless these poor folk, I wish them support and hope their pain can be controlled so they can enjoy their last weeks with their families. If only miracles really happened ... Liz

Hi Kris, Yes it certainly puts things into order,,,,,,,,,,as, A close friend yesterday morning took her healthy lively 3 year old to the doctor to have check some bruising on his back,more for piece of mind as he goes to nursery and boys being boys plus for her own saftey sake ,,,,,,,,,1hour later full of beans they arrived at hospital under doctors orders,,,,,,,,,,,7pm last night transfered to Addenbrook Hospital,,,,,,,today lumber punture,bone marrow sample,this afternoon first does of 6 week intensive chemo,followed by 5/6 weeks of low does chemo.then 6 weelky check-ups...........and he wasnt even showing any signs of illness,,,,,,All they can do is give no guarantees at this stage,,,,,,,,,,,, So spilt milk doesnt seem that important does it? So deeply sorry to read your thread opening,

Many thanks to you all for your thoughts and prayers xxx

Sending all my love to your friend and her family, Ros xxx

Poor. poor girl. I lost 2 work colleagues to bone cancer - both secondaries after a mastectomy. My uncle also had bone cancer - gave him 6 - 12 weeks. he almost made the 12. My thoughts are with your friend, her family and all their friends - someone taken so young has repercussions on the lives and dreams of so many. Jay

kris, ifeel for your friend , my thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family. my father-in -law died in 1983 of bone cancer hazel.

Kris this is so sad, sending love and hugs to them all. My SIL died6 yrs ago aged 43 of cancer leaving a 9yr old daughter and an 11yr old son. It devastated my brother. Especially as 12yrs before they had lost their 0yr old daughter. My thoughts are with them. Wendy.xxxx

Kris sounds similar to my friend when she was pregnant with her 2nd she found a lump in her breast and they thought it was a cyst but they did a test on it and turned out was cancer. She found out on 15th Jan (day after her 31st birthday) had her son early so she could have treatment. SHe then found out it had spread to her bones and liver. Saw her at the hospital on the 7th Nov as we were there to collect Fil things as he had just died, she looked fine and was asking how hubby was coping etc. She died on the 15th leaving two small sons Am thinking about them all and you are so right why squabble life is too precious and far too short

oh kris,how awfull.bless her.and her children,it does,nt bear thinking about, hugsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kris... that is truly awful. My heart goes out to her and her family. Jean x.

Kris your words are so very sobering. No words can describe the sadness for this poor young woman and her family, If it makes women { me included } check their breasts more regularly then I'm so glad you put this up, I hope your words strike a chord on here to anyone who wants to cause trouble, Love to you, Caz xxxx
