About Me

I'm Carole, living in London, happily married and mum to two amazing boys.I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Rectal Cancer in April 2010. Surgery took place in November 2010 and I now have a permanent colostomy...Spinal mets were then diagnosed in October 2011...In January 2012 I was told of further spread to the hip area (multiple lesions)..My life expectancy is now 6-9 months. Walk alongside me on the last part of my experience with this..

  6. Carole, what an amazing song, I've never heard it before. You're so right - it does say a lot about how you must be feeling right now, and for me, it says a lot about you too - brave, strong, determined, defiant...and (forgive me for saying this because I know how modest you are!) a champion and an inspiration to anyone else who has to face big fears in their life. For so many people around the world, you've achieved this through your honest and beautiful writing on here and the forums - a little London lass with a heart the size of the world. What an impression you've made on so many lives!
    I would so love to smash this bastard disease's head in and carry you away to safety...
    I'm so looking forward to giving you a real hug again soon, but for now, much love coming your way on here as always
    Lisa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Mimi - many thanks for your lovely comment. Tough at times maybe - but I've wavered a little this week for sure.

  10. Fiona,

    I'm quite lost for words really - you guys have really kept me sane, kept me going and really do understand when I'm 'down' for a few days *why* I'm 'down'.

    I feel honoured by your post for me but I have to say that young lady is way way braver than me and although I've tried my best to help others with this bastard disease, I could never compete with her as she is simply amazing.
    Rab and I watched a programme about her the other evening - lovely girl and so so brave.
    Bastard cancer!

    Thank you Fiona - you also made me cry today xx

  11. @ Shents. You're so right. Carole: a petite woman with the heart and spirit of a thousand lions. And the person I am most humbled by and most proud to call my best friend.

  12. Awww Lou,

  13. Crying is good for you and, frankly, I doubt you do enough of it.

    Just hope that if I'm ever faced with what you are going through, I'll have a fraction of your dignity and courage.

    Luvin' ya right back! XX

  14. Hi Carole,
    I agree whole heartedly with Shents comments, and Tony's of course.
    You are a strong determined lady and an inspiration to us all.
    I can only imagine how you feel.
    Sending, hubs, positive, vibes, prayers and blessings.
    Carol x
