Beautiful Wise Mel, with so many wonderful words, you are so brave and honest and are helping us all to understand what you’re going through. We are so very grateful for your presence and Life is so very precious, we all need to love the now and embrace the little things, just like our little toddler friends, our dear little granddaughters and hoping in their lifetime lung cancer will be spotted early, all cancers and we will hope that so many advances will improve this generations chances.

Sending love and hope ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, yes, yes. The little people are a comfort, distraction and source of wonder! And a little bit of exhaustion.

Thank you lovely granny person. 🩵

Dear Mel. You are obviously an extraordinary soul, and I am sure that cancer will be too scared to mess you up again because by now, it must know that you are far too brave and strong to succumb to it.

Thank you for sharing your light and for all the useful information and advice on keeping an eye for signs and symptoms we would not always consider worth checking up for. Blessings and love

Dear Pam, thank you for reading and for heartfelt words. It’s so important to spread the message; non smokers can get lung cancer. Hope the sun is shining for you. ☀️
