Cancer is pretty rampant in my family as (I really am doomed). The doctor says the particular type is not genetic, but I remain suspicious. ISBW, that must have been very hard. Both my grandfathers had Alzheimer's and both provided me with some of the most harrowing memories of my life. As a consequence, the concepts of euthanasia and assisted suicide are also quite popular in our family. My mother has been giving me instructions on this for years! Oh, I know how you feel Piley.

My Mum had Alzheimer's and that kind of scenario is so familiar. As she got worse and more confused, she would ring my eldest sister up to thirty times a day just to get reassurance that she was in the right place, or that they would be coming to pick her up as they'd promised. I've made a deal with myself that once I pass a certain point, I shall be getting on a cross-channel ferry with as much Valium as I can get my hands on, and a few breeze-blocks in my pockets...splash!
