The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 cheers guys if i'm unlucky i'll look like a mini lord F hah but possibility of hairloss aged 20 wasn't something i was planning on... glad to hear they're bearing up ok David... Thanks Alex. Overwhelmed by the two lads fighting spirit and aside from a few difficulties when they returned to school they're doing brilliantly to keep their chins up. Hope there's a resolution to the issues you're faced with too at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massey Boys Mum Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Going to my best friends Funeral he had a brain tumour he was only 49 and I have known him for over 30 years. too young to die. So very sad to lose your best friend. It is too young to die, must be dreadful for all of you that cared for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 found a few random bald patches on my legs, googled it...Alopecia...so, goodbye hair... Count yourself lucky, Alex. I had it in the fourth year of comprehensive school, my scalp had a full blown crop rotation for two years!! Docs guessed it was delayed reaction from Dad cracking three vertibrate and spending three months in traction over Christmas of '91/'92.

A good long and solid friendship no doubt. Yes, far too young to leave and a tragic way too. I hope there are plenty of fond memories that you can look back on a smile through, Mike.

Lord Ferguson Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Going to my best friends Funeral he had a brain tumour he was only 49 and I have known him for over 30 years. too young to die. That's a terrible thing to have to do Mike... so sad... make you wonder what life is all about at times when you hear sorry tales like this :'( ... as Tris so rightly said... hold on to all the good memories you have of your friendship. And as for you young Alex... I suspect exams are probably to blame for your current hair-loss... Dr Marky says things should clear up nicely when the exams are over... take a 'chil pill'... 'chill-ax' and all those other modern words.. it's so easy to say that.. but so hard to do I am sure. I've written you as prescription for 10 pints of lager... followed by a kebab and a scrap with a little bloke.. to be taken twice weekly... and at weekends only - DO mix with alcohol and never drink on an empty stomach - use beer responsibly... NEVER drink and drive.. may contain traces of nuts... OK... I'll shut up now.. just trying to cheer you up and take your mind off... well... you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 dads been diagnosed with cancer :'( but the doctors are positive he will win the battle so all's looking good at the minute Chin up young man, a diagnosis means it is the start of being able to treat something - which is a good thing. These things can go undetected for years and years. Let's all hope your Dad has been diagnosed early enough, there are plenty of success stories out there so I wish your family all the best in being another one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It would appear Nanna Fry's decline in health is happening a little quicker than anticipated After the diagnosis before Christmas and the fall and subsequent hip replacement afterwards she will be leaving hospital for a Hospice now and not to return home :'( Bit of a tough one to swallow for me or be honest.

Lord Ferguson Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Oh dear mate... that's very sad news... I've got a great Aunt who had a stroke last year who is suffering the same decline now. Lets hope Nanny Fry suffer no pain and that she is made to feel comfortable and welcome in her Hospice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 sorry to hear that tris, i fully understand what your going through, all be it he wasnt my dad, putting sues dad into a home was a hell of a decision, but after a few months, we now all realise it was by far and the best thing to do for all concerned, especially him , we just could not give him the care he needed, and i am sure your nan will recive the same high care she needs mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
