open letter to everyone from markc
« on: September 12, 2011, 02:48:07 PM »
Hi all

Funny i never thought i first post after getting everything sorted out , would be this

To all those i have already spoken to thankyou


A little over 4 weeks ago  Sue and I found out she had cancer ..   at 39
This as you can understand came at a huge shock to us , within 2 weeks she was booked in to have the breast removed
This happened only 10 days ago , after 4 days she came home ,  we went back for a check up and found out it had spread
So back she goes Thursday week for another operation ,  hopefully this time we will get some good news

The reason I am writing this is for one to make sure everyone checks their partners breasts out  !!  I am sure most do already
But you need too .

And of course to explain some of the lateness with my email replies , as I am sure some have noticed .
We have now 2 full time staff just doing parts from the factory and only ebay is done from home , when i can
they still cant keep up with how Sue used to pick and pack all the parts
And more and more projects  will be listed while i am in indefinite leave , i can tell you being mr mum , is allot harder than you think
With 3 kids under 6 and the baby now near 7 months , Its much easier to go to work

Anyways

Guys make sure you check and take care

My phone is always on and emails will be answered ( in time ) ***********

My missus works in cancer screening, what mark has said is spot on,ladies should get a regular mamogram check as they get older
every few years, just like us blokes should have our prostate checked every few years as we get older.
I can only echo what has been said already by fellow members, I was you both all the best in a speedy recovery.

Cancer is such an insidious disease that WE ALL need to be aware of!

Mark and Sue, and anyone else who may be going through something similar, ALL THE BEST!!

Really sorry to hear that. Wishing Sue a full recovery and the opportunity for your children to know their mother for many years to come.

I will be praying that the operation gets all the cancer this time around.

Heard this news from Mark a couple of weeks back now and was extremely stunned really puts other people little problems into perspective.

  Wishing Sue all the best for a full recovery and good luck with the kids anything i can do to help be sure to ask.
