Rachel (Res) and Steve
I posted a while back asking for support and good vibes for Rach as she was going through a tough time ...
I spoke to Steve this evening and asked if its OK to post this ... he said I would have the words that he cant find right now ... but I'm not sure I have ...
Sadly despite heavy bouts of Chemo that she went through ... Rach's cancer has got into her central nervous system ...
Steve is with her at the hospital constantly ... and at the moment he hopes she will come home with him to spend their time together surrounded by friends ... family ... and a hell of a lot of love they share between themselves ...
I've always said that this Board is like a real community ... and have always meant it ...
we laugh ... we cry ... we make friends ... and we fall out with each other ...
but when push comes to shove ... no matter what ... through good and bad ... we are there to support each other when its really really needed ...
So I know you ... like me ... will be there to support both Rachel and Steve through this really difficult time ...
Big Love and Hugs to you both and I am looking forward to coming down and giving those hugs personally ...

Rachel and Steve, thinking of you both at this difficult time, I cant comprehend what you are both going through but sending massive hugs. Your love for each other is so strong and paramount and I wish you all the best- and hope Rachel can get home for some special time with you and her family.
Rik, these are the right words- they must have been so hard for you to write. (Hugs)

My Dearest Rachel and Steve.
So sorry to hear your news, I am truly shocked and upset through to my very soul. You are two of the most special people I have ever had the good fortune to meet and I cherish the friendship we have everyday as I would be a lesser person had I not have known you.
All I can do is offer my help whenever you need it and for whatever you need it for.
Sending you the biggest hugs and kisses and dearly hope to be able to give you some of those personally.
Love and take care of each other.

Thanks Rik, you've put into words what I've been trying to say.
Stevie, I'm heartbroken for both of you, absolutely gutted. You're both such lovely people, and good friends, and you just don't deserve this.
Hoping so much Rachel can come home and enjoy her time with you and those she loves the most.
You're both in my thoughts

I cannot believe what I am reading, and feel utterly sad to hear this news
Rik, thanks so much for letting us know -
Both Steve and Rach made a special effort to visit me in February 2006 and it was great to meet such special and wonderful people.
I hope they are both able to spend a special Christmas together

Rachel & Steve, chemo is the nastiest, its worse then dialysis but you can get through it, hold on to that fighting spirit Rach, I know it's deep inside.
Best, love, hope & hugs to you both

Hi there
Thank you for all your messages. Like Rik says, Rachel's Lymphoma has moved into the central nervous system, the consultant said it is a near impossibility to be cured. Rachel can be treated and have her life prolonged with very high dose chemotherapy, but unfortunately, she will just relapse.
We must all of us decide today what the next course of action we take, with Rachel leading the way. Her family and friends must remain strong and resolute - that's easy to say but I am in absolute bits and i haven't slept since. Rachel looks very peaceful at the moment, she is just so tired all the time. We would like to get her home as soon as possible and get her symptons under control and make the best of what she has and give her a wonderful christmas.
Thanks everyone
