Dear Nicki

I understand how powerless you must feel. Many subscribers to this board say that cancer can be worse for the carer than the patient. It is sad to think of Lynn's family without her but she is now at peace and has left a wonderful legacy of love.

Our journeys are all different but in my case I found acceptance was the key issue. Once I embraced cancer as a part of my life I knew I could deal with it and my attitude became positive. Being totally informed and in control of my treatment was a large part of that.

Best wishes and love to you both, from Helen
