Welcome to the forum McRoxy. It's great to hear from you and I hope you get yourself sorted real quick.

I don't know you or Faith but I think that we all get an idea of what people are like from their posts on the forum. All I can say is that you both seem ideally suited and top notch people.

I don't have religion but I can assure you guys that my thoughts for you are really close to prayers and I sincerely hope they work for you. They would if I had my way!

On a lighter note, I'm struggling with the tartan nightware thing as, well, without going into too much detail, I don't wear much at night (I know, way too much information   ) I will however get something to wear. Perhaps if you can take a few minutes to suggest an item, I will be glad to purchase it and maybe we could all post pictures of ourselves wearing them......

All the best guys,

Ian

You're not alone in that, Ian   I suggested a few posts back that we all wear something tartan - not necessarily night attire.  How would that suit?  Photos sound a  good idea - an online wedding Album for non-guests?

<<.......maybe we could all post pictures of ourselves wearing them......>>

That's an excellent idea  

Welcome McRoxy - great to have you on here    From our own experiences, it seemed to be a bit easier on my OH than for me, his carer. Easier is probably not the right word - maybe less difficult. He seemd to be able to just take what he had to - surgery, chemo etc - with the single aim of surviving (which he has done   ) but more of the strain came to me.  So look after eachother, share everything and come through it together  

Oh, and keep your sense of humour - odd but it helps

Hello McRoxy and welcome!!  I really hope everthing goes well for you.  Most of us on here will either have had cancer, or certainly have relatives or friends who have.  Its a dreadful thing, but treatments have come on so much in recent years, and I know of many people with good outcomes.  I truly believe that you need a positive outlook in a situation like this, and I am sure you and Faith can fight it. 

Sending you good wishes, and hope you are able to update us on your progress.

Just thought I would wish you all the best for tomorrow. Keep us posted on how you get on, fingers crossed for a good and positive prognosis. Stay strong for each other

Hiya Faith & McRoxy,

Let battle commence & stay strong - thinking of you both today.

Hello McRoxy,

How lovely of you to join us, and share your thoughts and feelings- as others have said I hope you keep posting. I think we do have a good "community" spirit here, and you will be a welcome addition to that community. I think you are both very lucky to have each other. I do wish you all the best for tomorrow, you will be in my thoughts. I hope the wedding plans are all under control- I think I might actually have tartan pyjamas somewhere, I'm off to find them.

The wedding is on a Friday, Beth, so will you wear them at home having taken a day off, or at the Bank?   I don't have tartan jammies but I do have my old Dad's Maclennan tartan scarf so I will wear that with pride on your day in honour of you both.

   A Friday is fine- it's dress down day at work!

I'm thinking of you both too and hoping news is positive later x

I don't have anything tartan to wear but I do have a set of bagpipes. When I know the exact day and time of your wedding I will take them up to the fields and play (very badly) "Amazing Grace"

I have a tartan hat ... I shall put that on and join in with amazing grace on my recorder (if I can remember how to play ... I used to be grade 8 don't you know! )

Nice to "meet" you McRoxy. That's Faith's a goodun ... she'll keep you on track!
